Just in time for Xmas!

Picked it up last night after frustrating delays (Lombard Finance are on a go-slow).
It's gorgeous - Sumatra with Truffle leather - the combination works really well.
Wifey is impressed! Daughter loves the touch screen audio system.
Looking forward to getting to know the car over Christmas

Congrats balders, I'm sure you will love it.
Don't forget to get some pitures posted to show off the contrast between the interior/exterior

I bet that has made your Christmas! Congrats mate.
PS I'd love to see some more pics of the Sumatra, only if you get a chance when your not busy showing it off!

Thanks

Thanks all - one of our designers spotted the new baby in the car park (underground so looking cool under the lights

)
She gave it her seal of approval - saying how unusual the colour is (it seems to shift from grey to deep brown/green) and the contrast with the truffle leather was deemed 'well cool!'. Maybe Clarkson really does know what 'cool' is?
Minor moan however - no warning triangle and first aid pack...plus the rear sensors seem a bit erratic. Anyone had similar issues? Mine start beeping constantly once in reverse then seem to be intermittently switching on and off as I park. These were a retro fit by the dealer by the way.

bladers do the retrofits come with the screen display on the head unit, the factory fits pick up objects in close proximity to the sides of the car, for example if you reverse between two cars etc they react, triangle was removed from my audi before i sold

Nah nothing like that mate, I would get it checked out from the dealer esp since it was retro fitted.

Mine are fine as well - sounds like some dodgy wiring. Phone the dealer.
