Oh, drat, I knew this was going too well.
Jan. 25th, 2008 04:15 pmI 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.
