Oh, drat, I knew this was going too well.

I won't be picking up the new car tonight after all. The salesman rang - he'd done one last check and noticed that something was missing. The air conditioning.....

We'd looked at the controls last weekend and seen air-con-like things, very similiar to those in Dave's car. It turns out there's one rather important button missing, the one with "AC" written on it.

So.... either we take this car (knocking £500 or so off the price), or he gets back to the factory and tells them to build another one and this time get it right. The result will arrive in March: next year's plate, slightly better wheels, more miles on the car I'm trading in, but the same price. We're waiting till March.

What a disappointment! :-(

I'd be grumpy if I were you.

I'm trying not to be grumpy. I'm looking for Good Things again, they're here somewhere.
a) I love my Little Car, and I get to keep it for another month at least!
b) I get more spare time tonight, and since I want to write some pseudo-Burns for Mel's Burns night tomorrow, I need it.
c) Slightly better car for same cash.

erm......

still looking....

Well, there's this *HUGE VIRTUAL HUG* from me that'll be socking you in the full-body in about thirty seconds, if the planets align right....

oof!
That rolled the chair back a few inches!
That's better, all bouncy again now! I'll head off home soon (once I've finished writing this very boring document) and let Dave repeat the treatment.
