Great news - when do you drive it away?

Ist March - with the new 17 plate ##17EXC. I quite like the suffix, short for exclusive.

An indication of how long it takes to buy a Cali is that @Crispin Family got to 901 posts whilst they were waiting for theirs!

Do you think I can make 1000 before I finally have it on my drive?

You'll slow down once you get it, you'll be so busy enjoying the new bus your posts will dry up!

Congratulations

Nice, I do like those lights, although I probably wouldn't of paid that much for them, I do regret not doing more research on the light options before ordering my Beach.

850 of those posts were about how much discount he got!!

The lights were a late decision - an addition to the spec. They were added shortly after the last of Meg's puppies were sold.

I've just been through the full spec. There is nothing I would add or remove:
California Beach 7 speed DSG
Awning - housing and rail in black
Kutamo Fabric
Adaptive cruise control
LED headlamps
Privacy glass with green insulating glass in cab
2 x swivel seats with integrated child seats
Leather multi-function steering wheel
Discover Media navigation
3 seater bench
Cliamatronic 3-zone air conditioning
Without model and engine badges
Towbar – removable/lockable
80L fuel tank
Sliding window
Electric wing mirrors
Programable air parking heater with rc
Front and rear parking sensors + camera
Interior light concept
App connect
Grape yellow

Week 4.

There were three grape yellow T6s in that small compound. Two were basic Transporters going off to a conversion workshop,

You bet I am!

Week 4.

Looks like SMG Tonbridge to me? If yours was a week 4 build I'm ever hopeful that ours (week 8 build) will be with us before the tax changes.

Great colour and name!

With a week 8 build you are very safe in registering before the tax changes.

They are talking about getting week 11 builds registered before the change, that's week commencing 13 March!

 

[Seaside Sussex]

Thanks @Crispin Family, that's very reassuring. They seem pretty efficient at SMG.

 

[Gary&Heather]

Great looking beach and colour and what a great name enjoy.

If the UK had the bigger engine available for the Beach, I would have taken that. I'm not so sure about the 4WD, but it would be nice for muddy campsites.

Great colour and name!

I need to find a bumper sticker to match the name:
