Yep, after months of talking about, dreaming about it, pondering about it, I've finally gone in and ordered my dream machine!!

Black 2.0 SE with black/red leather interior, and being built week 34 (which is sometime in mid-August I think!!) I only hope we get some lovely sunny days in September (like today - sorry to hear about all the rain in NE Germany, Greg - its been fab here in Sunny South West England!!) when I can go out and play in it - topless naturally, and yes I will be smiling!! If anyone spots me and I'm looking miserable, please feel free to berate me on this forum!!

Oh and PS if you see my bank manager, tell him that a 206cc may look like a sports car, but it really is a fitted spamspam (if you know what I mean!!)

Gotta go, loads more people to tell! then I might try and do some work!

Congradulations! I'm really pleased for you. I remember the great feeling I had when I purchased my Pug and driving it off from the dealer forecourt.

Thankfully you'll still have summer left to enjoy your Pug to the fullest.

Good Luck,

Robbie. :~)

you should have got one with a wood trim to make it look just like a spamspam incase the bank manager wanted a look

It is a dishwasher. Just stack 'em on the back seat and wait till it rains

yeah well at least in Melbourne you'd get a drying cycle immediately after the wash cycle!! - here in UK we get a wash cycle that lasts 6 months!!! (is it true that Crowded House wrote "Four Seasons in One day" in honour of Melbourne weather??!) I'm renting a garage to keep my CC in for when it rains!

why rent one. surely it spends most of its time in the dealers workshops

I believe it was written about the Falkland Islands!

I shall make no comment whatsoever about the weather in the Falklands - I'm not having all those "Bennys" after me!! Plus the penguins seem to be able to cope with it - oh the joys of winter in Port Stanley!!

You sound like a man that has been personally traumatised by life in the Fi's!!!

Greg, I might sound like a man - but I can assure you I certainly am not = well not last time I checked anyway!!! (I'd have a barbie pink CC if they made them in that colour!!) Spent (rather too) many years with an RAF bloke who had been rather too acquainted with the FI's - it sort of rubbed off!! I can't see a bobble hat without thinking "Bennys" or "stills"!!
