Introduction
Hi guys went and saw Benni today it was a the dealers just needing service and registering. We collect him on Tuesday. 
500 Benni from the Isle of Wight
- Thread starter Alisonomis
- Start date
More photos will be attached as and when we take him out for the inaugural photo shoot
It'll be going straight home. Can't decide where to do the shoot. I'm thinking an industrial background. But wife wants a natural background might do both on weds but weather forecast not great.
I love the colour
Will keep a lookout for your car as i live down here too

Where abouts? We live in east cowes
Ah, good to know. I live in Sandown, but venture out to newport often.. not east cowes so much. The island dealers seem very good, and good choice in car.. i'll certainly recognise the bright blue

Cool we went for the 1.2 petrol. Since we ordered it we have seen an influx of them on the island. The dealers have certainly sold there fair share

Hi Alison - was that you on the Chris Evans show on R2 this morning, saying that you were going to pick up your new 500 today? Either way - I hope it goes well.
Hi yes it was us on R2 I ((Simon) her husband) text in we are both very excited lol you wouldn't think we were almost 40
she nearly wet herself on the way to work when he read it out

Hence the name Alison / simon backwards! Things are just as exciting at 40 - our first 500 was my Wife's 1st new car and 40th birthday present.
Good luck with the pick-up and don't forget to post the obligatory pics!

At least you'll know you're getting a new car then, and not one thats potentially been sitting in storage for 2-3 years.
I'm on the Island next week, thought I might pop into Harwoods if time allows, just to see Tango Tim if he's still around. They have been pretty quiet on the forum front since their last Treasure Hunt/Picnic outing and it will be interesting to see if they have any future plans for events.
