Really pleased with him!  That big screen is SO SO much better in use.  The speed warning turned off (for journey) but it is a subtle sound so not that bad if you forget. 
 

The service at the dealership has been superb - what a truly lovely bunch of people!  
 

They do still offer the 5 day insurance but offer that at collection. 
 

I did look around for any other Rs but they are all in the secure compound - mine was brought round to the front area for collection.  So you’ll just have to wait till you clap eyes on your in the flesh.  I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!  
 

He’s just had a big fill up and now for the journey home!  

Woooohoooo! Pablo has finally arrived! He looks absolutely stunning! (All things considered! 😠) Made me chuckle they didn’t even dare take the wrappers off the seats in fear of the wrath of the @Booth11! 🤣 Glad to hear positive first impressions! There’s a lot of us that are waiting for the @Booth11 seal of approval but will be interested to hear how he drove home when you finally get home! Glad to hear you survived up ter’ north and got to experience the renound northern hospitality! Did you get any mats with him and any R goodies?

Haha, yes the stickers on the wheels and interior wraps were welcome proof he’d not been molested. Phew!  😂  Only a bit grubby too and brilliant sunshine up north so good for detecting any paint imperfections (none), though a bracing wind on the walk from the station, Ooh I could see me breath!  I’m from Yorkshire so it was like coming home. ♥️ I even got a hug from the showroom manager - now you definitely don’t get that in my dealership daan sarf! 
 

Mats were in the boot and USB cable and user manual wallet in the glove box.  
 

Bridgestones but you can’t have it all.  Congo’s will be a new year present for Pabs. 
 

Still journeying back to deepest Kent but I can say that the infotainment unit is miles better to use with icons etc well placed for use in motion. ACC is working well.  

 

The car feels very ‘right’ is all I can say at the moment.  😊

Fantastic news! R key fobs and mats I hope!? Anything to be aware of during the pick-up others need to be aware of when picking up their 8.5?
