I expect Danny will sell it 3 days before he takes delivery of it in order to buy something else.

I kept buying things that were semi skimmed and in truth I needed full fat . Some people might think I'm dumb for buying new in the current climate but it wont get much worse and new car prices are set to rise very soon.

I also got an excellent deal . Suspension seemed really good to me, the right amount of soft for cruising and the right amount of response for the B roads. Can't ask for more

Engine is brilliant and very quick indeed. Quicker with a remap should I decide to do that All round it's the right car just can't bloody wait till April!

Nope.. I think it is a smart move - if you are in the market for a new car now is a fantastic time to buy one.

Dealers are hungry beyond belief.
