    jb66 If you dont mind me asking where have you ordered your Mazda 2 from ?

    I got mine from Mazda Seafield, Edinburgh. As i wanted a 3 door I had to wait two months, which was fine by me as i get the new plate. I went in on Tuesday and they just got a delivery of 5-door Tamuras, Nice :)

    Another happy girl here, It's been confirmed, my car is here and I pick it up on the 1st at 11am.

    Accommodation is now booked, will top the petrol tank up and keep fingers crossed a single tank makes it all the all the way down if not I've got break down cover with onward travel ;):D;) if need be.

    Can't believe the mixture of emotions I'm going through for my first new car.

    Mines sposed to be coming next week too. Not had an update today though:(
  • Signed my paperwork all off today and will be picking up my new Ibiza 1.4 SC Sport on Tuesday. :-)

    Worth the wait.

    I also liked the Mazda but thought the styling had the "just retired" look.

    Get a set of "L" plates and stick them on and take some one else with you that way if you do stall, those behind will just think you are a learner driver and look at you with fond memories from when they were learning to drive.

    They will never know and I don't think it's illegal to do this.

    Well "hethmar" the accommodation has been booked. I'm staying at "The Stag" if that makes any sense to you. Apparently it's not too far from the dealer and the travelodge which I was considering is 12 miles in the opposite direction to my dealer.

    Garage salesman (Andrew), has said he wants my car coming in with no more than a wiff of petrol as any more is a total waste.

    Break down number is already plugged into my mobile as a precaution.

    sounds like a plan cheeky but they may wonder what nutter has let a learner loose in a brand new car :D
