Sounds very fishy mate. I called up last week to SUK and they looked mine up no prob, even gave me the order number etc..

Apparently the only thing they can tell is it is a week 39 car ... So it exists but they just don't know where in the system it is

Just had confirmation that my blue manual is ready for collection on Sunday.

Just drove mine home. What a car! Absolutely in love. Only problem was the M1 and M62 were at a standstill so never got to stretch its legs. Tomorrow.

No pics yet??!

Just phoned SUK and my car is in transit to the port of exit.

looking good i get my white one from griffin brighton next friday hopefully although i may cry when i depart from my beloved RS

Swapping my RS for a Ford Kuga AWD on Saturday. Loving my Blackline though. Put 750 miles on it in 11 days of ownership.

Glad you've finally got yours Sigaworth.

I've done about 750 miles too in the same space of time.

Phone autocorrect - sihaworth :-)

I've gotta be honest, since I've had it I've lost all inclination to take it apart to fit the mic. Haha. Just not going to happen.

Just drove down to see my new Blackline in the lock up at the dealers.

First impressions are it could do with sunset glass, the glass doesn't look tinted in the slightest. Find it strange how I got sunset on my Fabia vRS but not the Octy

Hi.......First time posting on the forum although i have been following this thread very closely for a sneeky peek of pictures of the new Blackline.

I pick my Candy White hatchback manual up from Lightcliffe Skoda, North Wales on Saturday and cant wait !!!

Ill be sorry to see my Black "60 " plate Vrs go but the lure of these Blacklines was too much to ignore lol!!

For some reason when i saw the Blackline in the brochure for the first time, i thought it had an almost black brushed metal type look to the grill surround ( which would have looked ace in reality ) but turned out to be a normal one........i was a bit gutted.

C'mon guys - someone must have pics of a white estate Blackline?

Don't be shy.

and a black estate please - still only seen dodgy camera phone shots : )

I can only offer a couple more pics of mine - bear in mind Iv not picked it up yet!

You're teasing us LRB!!!!

Good to see full pictures when you receive it - cheers.

I tell you what mate I'm teasing myself! Went down to sign the paperwork this aft and I tell you Friday can't come quick enough! Got 5 days off work to enjoy it too! (coincidence)

Collected mine tonight. It's amazing!

Not using all the power yet and it's got bucket loads. Really comfy, and the Amundsen unit sounds awesome.

So far love everrything, it's was dark by the time I finished so pics later. Need to see it in the sun!

Trying to run it in but it's gonna be soooooo hard.

Giddy, pleased, cannot wait to commute tomorrow.

I've never had a new car before - what do people suggest for 'running in?'

Just got an email saying mine is on the ship today. How long before it gets to the dealer? I've to an A4 to sell.

Mine took 2 weeks mate to it arriving at dealers.

Everyone will give different stories for running in, with countless stories either way.

The manual says to do it so I try to!

It says run in for 1500km

Upto 1000km do not use more than 3/4 of the max engine speed in each gear, no full throttle!

From 1000 to 1500km

Gradually increase power up to full engine speed.

Of course I've not quite managed that already, but I'm trying!

Mine has 550 miles on it already :sun:

Cheers WookieM did wonder if the manual would have anything in regarding it!

Whoops. Think mine has touched redline a couple of times today already.
