^^^^ Physically how did you do it? I've got to ping them over £15k and was simply going to set GS up as Payee on my Natwest Banking App and make the payment using the App to that new payee. I've sent similar sized moneys across to family member accounts using the App before but I am nervous of it going wrong on the day and they 'turn me away' until its sorted!

Yes I set up the payee the night before, but we did have a hi-cup when sitting in the showroom as the limit for transfer was too low for type of transfer. After peering at phone for a we while we found an option to change the transfer limit there and then. So we did that, just as well we had the RBS card reader with us to enable that. This has just reminded me that I should change it back down for safety sake!

Car is awesome, just take the directions on the sat nav with a pinch of salt! Second day of having it and we were getting taken down farm tracks, not that I was complaining, although the nice and shine car is no longer nice and shiney, must be a special Defender setting  90S D250 fuji and loving it.

^^^ potentially the wrong colour - when I added tints, the stupid build configurator defaulted seat colour back to black without me noticing and the build code I sent in was with ebony seats which I emailed to the dealer - with 30 minutes I'd realised my mistake and emailed him about it - he phoned me back at the time and said it didn't matter as he'd manually corrected the selection back to acorn and I thought that was that....

Moving on to Friday, when he called to say I was getting the car early, he said the order form I was to sign still said black but not to worry as he'd personally made sure that the factory built it with acorn - over the weekend I realised that I had NO written confirmation of the seat colour being acorn and realised that there could be a problem with me having not a leg to stand on if it turned up ebony. So today I asked for a photo relating to this saying my transfer of £15K today would be dependent on the seats being the right colour.

So we will see...

Footnote - if its ebony it won't actually be the end of the world, but I will extract some accessory value from GS if it is.

Yes - but thinking about it as long as they don't fit each bit serially it won't take more than a few hours.

So according to Vista it's 'in transit' (i.e. somewhere in the UK heading for the dealership) so it may get to the dealership this afternoon but I know that stuff has to be put on which is why (in my mind) there's no chance today.

My wife and my daughter were out at lunchtime and took a loop around the dealership to see if they could see mine but as they told me "there's a few obviously just arrived in the carpark but there were only white roof ones, not black"...
