God willing I will be picking up my T6 from SMG Tonbridge close to Christmas. How close to and which side of christmas seems to be unpredictable from what I have read here about the speed of build/delivery. I get that and it's almost besides the point except, the weather/traffic around my pick up could be almost anything. This is the UK right?
Rest assured, if the call comes in that I can arrange pick up in 2017, provided this isn't after the 20th of December (in which case I may find some restraint to get a 2018 registered Cali) there will be no extra sleeps, no leave it till the week end etc...
No no I'll be up to Tonbridge like a shot. Even if it does turn out to be 2018 the same applies.
What I am prepared to do is hang around in Tonbridge to avoid any busy traffic, limit the chance of gritting lorries and all those things that you don't normally give too much thought to on your daily drive. I know it sounds anal and yep it probably is.... but I've had 2 new cars registered in March and got sprayed in grit in the first week this resulting in getting a couple of stone chips from the start.
I'm keen to change my fortune at the outset this time around. I know it wont be long before I go ..oh well, can't not drive it because....
So easy question at last!!!
Where is a good place to sneak off the SMG forecourt, get through relatively calm traffic and park up if I hit a dodgy time of day for those tearing into non existent gaps n the traffic etc?
Maybe grab a meal or something?
