Speak of the devil. I've just been phoned by the dealer and arranged to pickup on the 31st of July as I'll be working evening shifts for the early part of next week, changing to nights for the rest of the week and the weekend. The car hasn't been delivered yet but he has been guaranteed by VW that it will be there. Still no news on the second key, but he did assure me that he is trying to chase it up with VW, but gets put on hold! Sounds familiar.
So time to get the StreetKa cleaned this weekend, and ask the neighbour to help put the hardtop back on. Of course, this probably means that there will be a sudden outbreak of sunshine, but with the hardtop in place, the car shouldn't be as hot as when the black canvas roof is raised - that's fearsomely hot and stays that way even with the aircon.
