Got a call on Friday!
its at the dealer!
when do I want it?
ASAP!
Tuesday best we can do!
OK!
Got a call today, it has been scratched at the dealer, may have it done for you tomorrow, may not!!!
ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!
Pics to follow.
All this coupled with the fact that its been so long since my test drive I've forgotten how good it is (I'm sure its good tho!) that and I haven't seen one salsa red one. Wanted a White one but I drive 50,000 miles a year and thought the cleaning might cripple me, is the red good, have I made a mistake?! We will know tomorrow (Hopefully!)

It's here!!!
Sunny Day and some wax and the pics will look even better but you get the idea.
Just been out for a "short" drive (40 miles) around the hills, awesome!

Is that mist/cloud in the background! Where do you live, the Highlands! 
Haven't seen mist like that since I was in San Francisco!
Certainly nice and sunny here in Buckinghamshire

Live in Horwich (Near Bolton)....... (The North).. and that picture was taken on a particularly nice bit of road round the back of a hill called "Winter Hill!".
Sun came out later, so I gave her a Polish, and I must say the red looks fantastic, especially with the Black Bits on the front, now just need more excuses to drive nice roads :-)

Ahh a northern guy! Lots of Rocs up there.
Must say the Red is a very nice color - just have to take care of it cos it *can* fade.

Really..... What do you mean by take care? Polishing?!? Cleaning?!?
Matters slightly less as its a company car but still.

Well because - like the White also they tend to fade - the bumpers which are plastic tend to go a different colour the metal body work. Seen some real bad cases. And it doesn't just apply to VW. I had a Vauxhall that did it too.
A bit or wax protection, normally does the job!
