Soon to be a Cali owner

[John Daniels]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking to get a California for the past few months, and I spotted a really good 2013 180 SE DSG in black on Autotrader a few days back. After many phone calls and a 500 mile round trip, I managed to agree a price and leave a deposit. I will be going to pick it up on Wednesday. I probably won't sleep until then!

Hers a quick picture I took -

The 3.30am start to be there for 8.00am was well worth it!

Just ordered my club stickers as well

A few sleepless nights ahead for you.
The sticker will finish off the look

Nice Cali , welcome on the forum!

 

[John Daniels]

Thanks.

Another 3.30am start tomorrow, as its collection day

Another 500 mile round trip on the hottest day of the year, should all be worth it though!

Good luck

Well? Looking forward to seeing some more shots! That initial photo looks stunning!

15 hour round trip down to Bournemouth, it was a long old drive in this heat but the journey back was the best bit! It was a dream to drive and effortless for such a long haul.

A couple of pics soon..........just need to upload them first.

You look a bit short judging by your reflection above the VWCC sticker, are you sure you can reach the pedals OK? (Shouldn't have such a shiny van!)

Looks superb, welcome to the forum and good luck

Haha, looks like I've been spending time in the hall of mirrors.

I might even need to start wearing platforms.........

Couple more pics, I'll be happier once I've managed to give it a thorough clean, this was following the trip back yesterday -

I don't think George will allow anyone near that van!

I am newbie too and getting ready for the 1st big trip to Spain. So thrilled with ZuluCampi every time I look at her. Where did you order the club stickers from?

The sticker was ordered off this forum.

Just got back from my first trip out
