Quick poll... Has anyone actually got a RHD 500 yet?

I called in tonight and the dealer is saying 5 or 6 days for delivery but as I want some 'Charity' graphics on it and a photo op for the local rag it might delay things a bit.

Was wondering if anyone has picked theirs up yet?

Jim

Not yet - getting mine on Saturday.

I got mine just over a week ago. I think one other member has one as well, with plenty more on their way, no doubt.

Yesterday Mrs Gordini was driving it, and was stopped by a manic Italian bloke in a Panda. He ran up to her, waving his arms around, kissing his fingers, shouting "bella machina!!!", etc. :worship:

That's a fantastic story!

We were crossing the Forth Rd bridge in Scotland on Monday and a Arnold Clarke dealer 500 over took us when we where driving the NIIMC panda and he beeped us! It's really nice when stuff like that happens

Jim

I've put mine off till March 1st.

Cheers

Why? What happens then?

Jim

08 registration numbers released.

Ah... we don't do age related plates here!

Jim

Jim, it gives a bit of a much needed boost to the new car sales although it probably just compresses them over a shorter period. It's certainly worth holding on as its probably worth a couple of hundread quid on the resale value.

True.. but I kinda like our non-age plates. Like there's nothing to tell anyone that my other two cars are 1991 and 1995



And it really worked on the last panda I owned cause I swapped the blue badges for red ones so a 2004 looked 2008 fresh, lol



The New 500 is going to be SEZ 1500*

Jim

(well, I'm hoping. I know it's going to be SEZ 1 or 2 but after that I've no idea)

Wasn't me anyway. Did cross the bridge on Monday but in a Arnold Clark stickered GP Sporting.

Would have beeped if I saw you though.

Aww... well, it's nice to know you would have!

It was one of the dealer graphic'd pop's in the very pale baby blue that did the needful. Would of been around 11 ish I think but I was driving from Ladybank to Bigrigg in Cumbira so I sorta lost track of time
