Due tomorrow but arrived early this morning at my chosen dealer!!!! 😃
Apparently it was the only car delivered and was there to greet Toyota staff arriving for work!!
Popped in to have my first look on the way home from work..... love at first sight ❤️ definitely a keeper. Last time I felt like that about a car was my MR2 Mk2 in 2004
Should be ready to collect in the next few days ... yessssssssssss 😆

Congrats!! I’m counting down the days and this just builds the anticipation! Enjoy! 😂👍🏼
 
Congratulations.

Did the dealer peel off the protection film on the bonnet and roof, or did Derby prep centre do that?

If you look closely you can see the glue line on the wing where it was, make sure they clean it properly or send it to a detailer for a proper coating.

Yours has beaten mine off the bus! It looks like it's still in Derby for me.

Nice choice on getting the best colour though, looks ace.

No I dont know who pulled the protective film off.....no I dont know if Derby did it or the local pasty factory were to blame. Lot of instructions here!!
One of many cars I've had delivered over the years ..... I don't worry about things like that especially because the dealership I'm using are superb....trust them implicitly....life's too short to worry about glue lines and detailers.....
They'll do a good job I'm sure.

But don't worry, thanks for the advice anyway. The car will end up looking good anyway...... I told them this morning no brillo pads or gritty sponges please, I think they thought I was joking lol.
I'll find out anyway when I have the handover next Friday... fingers 🤞
 
How is it? Although we were boat buddies, mine is still in Derby...
 
Collected mine from the dealer on Friday 30th!! 😃
Absolutely love it.... the car is what I hoped it would be like and better...
The Parklands dealership here in Cornwall were excellent and helpful over the last 14 months .... Toyota Online were superb from start to finish, cannot fault them at all, brilliant!
Now for the summer and the open coastal roads here in West Cornwall especially the Lands End to St Ives Road, scenic is an understatement 👍 😃

Great stuff, hope you are enjoying it!

That is really frustrating!
I'm sure it won't be much longer.... it could already be on its way to the dealership hopefully 👍

STFU 🤣

Frustrating is ordering a car on 20th April 2022, and it being suggested by TUK that you have it in September.

Mine was 388 days, now that WAS frustrating 👍💯
 
Mines at the dealers ffs. Was due December back in the day. :sneaky:

Bought a 73 plate for the friggin thing anarl.

I think dealer is going to store it till sept but it’s gonna kill me
