Default Yahoo! and Oh...

<--- Hurray.

Good news: My Monte Carlo Blue is here.

Bad News: There were a few minor problems. Oh and still 400 miles to Vtec...

- The hard top is fitted. They had to order 3 in the end. First came the wrong colour, second was distorted, third is on the car. Watch out for distorted ones in case not every dealer will check as thoroughly.
- Stickers. They put #5$3ing stickers on the car despite being told not to. I too no pleasure in getting them off and checking the paintwork.
- They didn't know how to take the hardtop off. Hand to find the actual guy who installed it... (Didn't want to read the manual.) I wanted to check the hood before signing.
- The speakers seem very good. No vibration fro the doors either. I'll post more when I've had chance to compare.

I'm just letting the car cool, before getting more petrol for a few more miles... being stuck behind tractors in a S2000 is kind of embarissing

Oh, nearly forgot:

-Brian.

Oh yeah, they forgot the mud flaps, and the invoice says NSX, not S2000.

So I've got to phone and chase the mud flaps and NSX tomorrow!

What is it with Brindley Honda? I get letters...'Your NSX is due for service'
... 'Are you satisfied about your last visit to this dealership with your NSX?'

Congratulations BTW

If they do it again after instructions to the contrary, I'm going to really have a go.

They still missed the valet sticker...

Congrats on the new car! Or both!

I am sure you will have much fun.

Are you gonna trust those muppets to service it, though?
