Default OMG I've gone and done it !!!!!

I've ordered it !!!!!

After a last minute panic about whether I wanted yellow (very sexy), orange (pretty), red (mmmmm) or Silverstone (sparkly) I decided on MOONROCK with BLACK/RED

Official lead time from Honda is end of August/early September which suits me as my company car lease finishes on September 4th, nicely in time for the 54 registration plate although I have my eye on a personalised one.

It will be my only car, no beater, no access to anybody elses car, and I'm a little nervous, but hugely excited !!!!!!!

Bought it from Beaconsfield Honda, as Paul has done a nice price for me and has been very patient - organised an unaccompanied test drive for me in an 04 for a coupla hours, and put up with me while I procrastinated for 2 months and still held the price. Thanks Paul

So just 4 months to go and roll on maybe in time for the meet in September !!!

Jo & Kitty (soon to be replaced!)

Yep, the Moonrock isn't showing on the computer system, so they have to put it on back order !!!!!!

I have seen 2nd hand Moonrock's with a few 100 miles on the clock going for more than I am paying!

Drake and Fletcher in Maidstone had one in that colour combination looked v. Would defo consider it if I ever buy new. No need to be nervous, you're gonna love it!

You're right about the price as well, despite being used as a demo it was still up at list. Prices generally seem to have hardened (time of year I suppose) - Drive the Deal's tame dealer was offering less than a grand off yesterday vs nearly 2k a couple of months ago.

Congrats on the splurge! I think I would die having to wait that long for mine! Luckily I'm getting it in 2 days

Moonrock must be popular......the new Silverstone anyone?

Did you do a little still at least with the lead time it gives you chance to start getting some extras ready for it
