Good luck for Thursday thenHaha oh right! I’m not too fussed then - I usually go for the hand car wash places.
On another note I have the car ready to collect on Thursday afternoon.
Almost there now!
Hand car wash to avoid:

I received a letter about this a while back, did you not get one? It said I had the right to cancel the order free of charge if I wasn't happy about it. Looks like I collected it just at the right time...(not the S5 though).Just received a call from the Audi dealer telling me that the road tax has increased for the first year, from the initial £500 to £800! so I'll need to pay the remainder at the door.

I'd be tempted to say "No, not happy with that, a deal is a deal...you can't change it the day before collection!"
Found it:
I had the call from the dealer today - car arrived in UK this week! Unfortunately I’m not in a position to collect (because of huge negative equity in my BMW and not reaching VT point until Feb) until March 1st.
Dealer has been excellent about this (it was discussed when I place order at end of August as we thought the lead time was much longer than it’s turned out to be) and will store it safely until March!
I’m so jealous of those picking theirs up soon but at £490 per month for my BMW I’d have to pay nearly £2k to get my S5 now!!! Aaarrrggghh

Looks nice mate, are those tan seats? I like them if they are
Audi don't do Tan on the seats - they're Magma Red, I'll get more pics of the interior in soon.
Did you also get the updated bill about the road tax increase?Come to think of it, I can't recall seeing Tan seats in any Audi?
Just to add, I'll be signing my documents next weekend and then picking up the car the following weekend on the 25th! This is going to be the longest fortnight ever (Wish I could pick it up in the week but I'll be at work and won't have time, so I have left if for a weekend where I can enjoy the car for a bit, and clean her up too)

Signed my final financial documents this weekend just gone, only 5 more days to wait! Salesguy still wouldn't let me see the car as he said I should get the full reveal experience which I'm all for! But thought I should add that the contract price didn't alter, actually came a little cheaper than what was quoted back in June. (about £20) so no changes with the emission changes.
This is going to be a long week.... Hopefully being busy at work will speed things up.
Lucky for you. My financial documents were signed electronically - so just went in signed and was given the car. Everything did take a while. My PCP didn’t change - I’m guessing it could change with a lease but not with PCP?
These sound systems need a little fiddling and then take time to bed in.
The speakers usually need a little time to settle in and the sound improves somewhat. Also the settings need fine tuning from the factory defaults.

I am also watching with eagerness to find out where my S5 SB is!
Ordered on the 16th August. Its been sat at Emden for about 10days, Ive been watching the Weser highway and Makassar highway and anything else Emden-grimsby, but this morning it changed status to 'on the way'. I can only assume it is on the 'City of Paris' heading to Newcastle. dealer is Aberdeen so makes logistical sense. Ive been pushing for it to be ready for me coming back ashore from work in the north sea, as I could drive it home. However I'm due off on Thursday and that's looking impossible factoring in transport dock-dealers, plus PDI and registration. darn it.
Gone for a Navarre blue SB with privacy, flat bottomed wheel, virtual dash and folding mirrors.
after 2 Mercedes diesel coupes. I missed the power of my old V8 S5, so reverted back to the four rings
Funny, It'll be my first actual time driving the S5 when I pick it up on saturday.
I think you'll have a lot of fun driving. I've already racked up 1100 miles and it's only been 11 days! Mainly just the thrill to drive a new car - I'll calm down soon haha.
Also one thing I found to be real cool was the driver assistance features of the car. Lane assist steered the car most the time for me on the motorway I always felt the steering wheel move itself even when I was going to do it myself.
A mixture of Lane assist, traffic jam assist and cruise control end up making the car drive itself, it's pretty good when you're stuck in traffic. This even can work in speeds up to 80mph (I haven't, and probably won't try this though).
