It's been a long wait but finally it's time's up!


Be sad to see my Polo SE go

but am very excited about the new one

. Collection time is noon so just a few more hours left.



It's a grey and wet and miserable morning so pictures may have to wait, but I'll post some as soon as I can.



Time to start thumb-twiddling.......

I can hear the pacing from here..!

Have fun

 

[whassup]

Oh I will!


Still slightly bemused at the level of excitement generated by the up! I've had new cars before but I've never been aware of such passion for a new model of VW.



It's all good though and tyhe forum (the first I've ever joined) has been fun and informative.

Pah!! Rain has moved from heavy to torrential but I still don't care. Just have to play 'indoors' with Maps + More

 

[b82ry]

I bet You already got so far with maps and more, that even opened user manual, because all buttons have been already tried out.

It would be so , if I would be in Your pace

Enjoy and lets hope the sun comes out...I recall the same weather a month or so ago when I got mine. But no amount of weather can spoil the great feeling of seeing the new car

 

[whassup]

At least I'll get to check out the wipers

 

[clowesa]

Hope the weather clears up for you later but even if it doesn't, I don't think you'll care really. Have fun

 

[bugbabe34]

You will have to just drive around instead of taking photos. Shame

 

[whassup]

Three hours to go.....not that I'm watching the clock or anything

 

[clowesa]

So, you're picking it up at High Noon, you'll have to call it Gary Cooper

 

[bugbabe34]

Be a long three hours

 

[whassup]

So, you're picking it up at High Noon, you'll have to call it Gary Cooper

Or maybe stick up!

 

[Dan]

This is a long enough morning for me back at work but bet it stilldoesn'tfeel as long as yours

 

[whassup]

Not too long now.........just an hour! Still raining though

...pics will have to wait.

Even better

Finally had some news. Boomer's on a ship on his way over here. Hopefully should be in the UK by the weekend so may be ready to collect next week or the week after at the latest. About time too

I've only bought one new car in the past, a Renault Clio, and can't say there was much interest or excitement when the 2007 model was introduced. I don't remember much discussion on the Renault forums either, although there was concern aboutreplacing the headlight bulbs!



Perhaps, the Up harks back to the days of the Beetle ("car for everyman") - or should that be the designs by Josef Ganz, upon which the Beetle is based.

Aw that's great news

. Mine was whisked to the dealer almost as soon as it arrived. Dundee dealer doesn't take long - veedub-ally's car is arriving today and he can pick it up tomorrow!

 

[clowesa]

Blimey, that really is quick. I'll keep my fingers crossed for next week then hopefully.

 

[whassup]

Right, off to get the car
