Went to Preston, Blackburn, Bolton, Manchester and no one would offer any discount. I use and have used Blackburn & Preston for servicing, and my A4 came from Blackburn. So in the end went with Kings Lynn and the 9% discount. It's not on the door step, but on £60 for the train to pick it up.
I'm over in Clitheroe. Only seen The Blackburn demo one round here, not seen any others.
Is anyone taking out Gap Insurance for their new car? I'd so any recommendations on who to use?

Lucky man!! I'm in shock, just heard from the dealer, expected build week is 19 - holy sh1t, I nearly fell of my chair. no idea why it's so long given that the order was placed late Nov, not very happy tbh.
If anyone is interested there is a full road test of an S3 quattro 6-speed manaul 3-door in the January 2014 issue of Audi Driver magazine than arrived by post this morning.

Seems about right - I ordered last week of September and was quoted build week 9 for end of March delivery - 6 months
Yours end of November - Build week 19 starting 5th May - end of May delivery - 6 months
Should come in a bit mine has ended up as build week 5 confirmed so should be 1st March collection hopefully
OK, thanks for that, sounded like a long wait but if 6 months is the average lead time then not too bad. March 1st will be round pretty quickly for you!!
Hopefully - mind you January can be a long old month sometimes
It is a long wait to be honest - Does seem to depend on what dealer though some people are quoting ordered end of december build week 6 - 3 doors are coming through quicker as well apparently
Will be worth the wait, although I test drove it so long ago now I've forgotton what is what like which I suppose will make it more exciting
Yes, I saw that some have ordered in Dec for March del which is why I was surprised at May, but they seem to be the exception, albeit the lucky exception!! Jan is a bit of a crap month I agree, we'll have to content ourselves with other peoples images on here I guess, plenty of motors should start rolling in soon so I'm looking forward to seeing all the updates. I was warned that it could be min 6 months so knew what to expect. Agreed - I might just have to grab another test drive somewhere because mine was only for 30 mins so no time at all to get a feel for it, loved every minute of it though!
Can you post some edit highlights please Dave?

Whenever I go for a test drive I always ask to 'borrow' the car for at least 2-3 hours and sometimes all day. I have never been refused yet. The dealer needs both parts of my driving licence and then includes me on there insurance as though it was a loan car. The normal excess on their insurance is £1000 bur for £10 this can be reduced to £250 and in every case the dealer has paid the £10. I don't know whether it helps because I'm already driving an A3.
When I was chatting to my dealer the other day I told him that my wife had bought me a fridge magnet which read " Keep calm and Dream of an Audi R8". He said "I can arrange for you to drive one if you want to". So when the better weather comes.....
We couldn't do that as the vehicle hadn't been registered so we were on trade plate otherwise we would have had it for longer
you'll enjoy the R8 I drove the old V8 version a couple of years back - fantastic
Have driven 4 different R8s one for half a day. The manual version is far more fun IMHO .
If would have to be s-tronic for me!!

Grrrr, dealer just called to say build week 19!!! From estimate of week 12 this is a blow, although he said it's come forward two weeks just this week, so here's hoping it comes forward more. Bit ****** off really but what can you do
I'll sell you mine on 1 March for list + 20%. ;-)
Joe, cancel your order and buy a chevvy!!!!
Or I could buy around 4 of those new MG3's for the same price and have a different one each day!

Apart from Thursday, Friday & Saturday!;-)
I think those days I'd need a break from driving gutless MG3's
Well I have had a phonecall today telling me that I cannot order an s3 in Daytona grey. Time for a rethink on colour. Any suggestions?
I think you're right. A chap at work has a monsoon a5 tfsi and to be honest I've never really liked it, possibly as it parks next to a Daytona s-line 8v a3. How about silver?
