Pick Up New Car On Tuesday

Featured Replies

Had a call from the dealership and the car is there :D

I should be able to pick her up on Monday or Tuesday. Yay!!!!

The last time I got a brand new car from Ford it was held on the lot because there was a petrol crisis. Funny that eh?

You know I did!

It is gorgeous can't wait till Monday. How do I post pictures? Do I need special membership?

Easiest way to post pics is to use a service called Photobucket.

Register there and upload your photos.

To post them here you just copy the link to the pictures and paste them to a message.

The links will start and end with "img".

Post the link in it's entirety and the picture will show on the message, if you remove "img" from the start and finish of the link then only the web link will be posted.

It doesn't pay to push yourself too hard.

Take care of yourself so you're fit to collect your nice shiny new toy.

I will :)

I had a good look round the car yesterday and the brochure did not do this car justice. Close up the details are really stunning. Like the dash in the brochure looked rather plastic but close up it almost feels like fabric. It has a pattern detail on it which looks really expensive. The whole car screams class.

The details are different to the zetec s in the showroom so maybe thy have spruced it up? It may just show up better on the blue interior.

Can't wait!

Looks nice :) I regret buying a black one, it's boring. Wish I'd gone for Vision Blue like yours, or Squeeze.

Looks very smart !

Impressed ! :) And I like !

Thank you :D

I will take some better pictures on Monday. I took these in a hurry whilst the dealer was getting the keys.

Come on Monday hurry up.........

Is it weird I got the dealer a gift to say thank you ;) just some chocolates. He's been really helpfull with it being a Motability car. I had a billion questions and things to test so I knew it was suitable and he has put up with me since feb. so he has earned it :)

Mine wasn't supposed to be with me until Monday but I convinced them they'd be happier getting it out the door on Friday - so they did :D

Same group as yours I think ? Dagenham Motors, but mine was in Alperton :)

Maybe....

I have the transit sticker saying where it was and whenq. I'll post some details tomorrow.

Maybe they traveled together. I know for a fact my car has traveled more in 3 weeks than me in 3 years :)

I'm sure if a burly lump like me rocked up with the Milk Tray there would be cause for concern.

Personally, i think that was a very sweet gesture.

Aye they probably did come to think about it ! :D

I don't know where my transit sticker is ? Maybe my dealer removed it :(

Not long to go now - only 32-33 hours ? :D

I never really liked the "Baby Blue" color but i have to say that looks really nice for a Zetec S and the spoiler kit. The radio is different i've noticed. Is this Ford's version of DAB?

Being 4:21AM right now i bet your getting ready to collect this sometime today! Good Luck!

I had mine delivered to the house they should be able to do the same for you as well.

I can go and collect my ZS on Monday as well!

I am yet to see the car, yet to even see the dealer, completely bought it all via email

They usually do. I sprang the visits on them so the car still had all the stickers and plastics on and it needed a really good clean ;) I saw the sticker and asked if I could keep it.

The dealer has been great yesterday he gave me a free warning triangle when I mentioned buying one.

Not sure if the stereo is different? I will take some proper close ups and let you know.

25 hours to go I get it at 11 tomorrow.

When my legs start working I'm going to go and empty my old car so everything is ready.
