What is the earliest that someone could reasonably turn up to a 10:30 Friday Bluewater pickup? I am trying to sort out my train times, so wondering how much I can push it.

I suspect 22:10 on Wednesday evening is too early, but what would be reasonable? 09:30 on Friday?

I can always go and do some shopping for an hour.

I heard they open at 7am when the valeters and cleaners turn up! Why not try then? If you're early you could give them a hand cleaning the cars - you could even do your own one!! Lol!!!

Seriously man - just chill - get a coffee and turn up at 10.30!

Bluewater pick up yesterday. Arrived earlier than my 1030 slot and told to come back, which we gladly did at 1029. Very swift change over, showed the Driving license and off we went. Car was perfect, it took us an hour to go through the checklist, but I'm glad we did it. Then moved it to the supercharger while we played about with the infotainment and profile stuff.

Absolutely love the car, its still massively weird to drive but I love it.

ah thanks for asking..... yes all ports and wireless charging were there, plus the usb stick for sentry etc.

I have to say, other than the car looking like it was cleaned with a 15 year old dirty rag, delivery was perfect. The kids love the car and so does the wife.

Looking forward to giving her a good clean at the weekend.

Bad luck there fella, was that in the car park? When I had my Civic type R the turning circle was so bad I was forever scuffing wheels in car parks with the circular ramps

yeah, I went to B&Q last night and the car park didn't have light on for some reason. I parks next to a curb with a tight right hander. I purposely took a wide circle but still took a slight hit on the rear wheel. I was taking it so slowly not to do it and bam.....I was going pretty slow too but the damaged it done surprised me. I've never done that in my life. Has the car got a bigger wheel base or something? I think I underestimated the length of where the rear wheels are.
