I swear mine doesn't. There's a knack to it I've yet to learn

The fuel cap. I don't object to the key but it's a bugger to open after you unlock it. I've not managed it once and have had to call on the other half...

Elegance, always on.

Soz, no review yet as I've just got out of hospital! But next Friday I'm having a bit of a blast round the M25 and will report back

Couple of months ago I saw a red vRS at Gatwick, black roof and wheels and it looked AMAZING. You won't be sorry. And that was after a 3.5 mile round trip to the petrol station by the garage Cheers, I still can't believe it's mine.

Not long in from Allam's having collected my Fabia from James earlier this afternoon. And I must say, the whole process from test drive to collection has been a pleasure. I dealt with Beth and James - mainly James - and they couldn't have been nicer or better, really helped me through the process as it's my first new car in 11 years and things have changed a little. I was kept up to date with build times and delivery dates, with lots of e-mails back and forth, especially following the delivery of the car to the UK. Yesterday James told me everything that I had to do to be able to collect the car, he met me at the station (no car to get to the garage!), cup of coffee and a tour of the car before and after all the paperwork. Most importantly, James hasn't treated me as just another customer - he's treated me like a human, very personable and likeable, and a good level of chatter when we were waiting for DVLA to do its stuff. There are actually two other dealers closer to me, but I went to Allam's by word-of-mouth recommendation, and I am wholeheartedly glad I did. Thanks guys!

So. Not long in from the dealer and I am one happy boy. A big thank you to James at Allam's of Epsom - for treating me like a human, not just another customer. Some photos below - I'll do a quick review in a few days once I've driven him a bit. But the journey home (about 10 miles) was a pleasure. And it's so red and shiny!

Ordered 2 November 2010, was advised build week 11 (week of 14 March) in late January or early February, it arrived in the UK around 26-28 March and the dealer got it late on 1 April.

Oh yeah MDI, that's what the other thing was. How could I forget that? LOL

Elegance 105 DSG, in red. Not added loads - headlight washers, spare wheel, tyre pressure monitor... something else that I can't remember... But will get some pics up on Tuesday or Wednesday! God I'm like a child at Christmas

Had an e-mail from the lovely James at Allam's of Epsom a few hours ago... My Furby showed up late Friday and I'm picking him up on Tuesday!! There may well be a few pics...

Ordered an Elegance 105 DSG on 2 November, was given build week 11 (14 March) in January, had an e-mail on Thursday saying it had left the factory Should have it in 2-3 weeks.

Email from dealer earlier on today... It's left the factory!! YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!

AAAARGH I really didn't want to read this. I ordered on 2 November and the build week is next week.... Gagging for it to arrive

Git, I ordered my Elegance 105 DSG on 2 November and it's being built the week before yours!
