Must be the same company that advertised my fancy safety boots as in stock for delivery. Now it's a minimum 10 days

I was a warehouse manager many years ago for a tyre company, I didn't get to order things though.

i ordered from awesome gti, after a couple of other places let me down. Claimed they had stock in for next day delivery. Seems not. I'm in no rush but an email to say it's due on X day wouldn't go amiss really. Zero contact with customers isn't a good way to operate when there are issues with items/deliveries.
I have emailed them to ask btw

No that's not correct or what I said, I said they were the only company I spoke to that said they had stock, hence why I ordered it from them. Probably better if you read the replies before you post John. Saves you looking like a prick again.

Most of these companies are just box shifters and too poor to hold a stock of parts, as soon as they make a few quid they take it out the company and spend it on company cars so they can look cool at edition38.

Took my mate out for a spin in it tonight he can confirm its a much better car than an Astra vxr so that's good news. Perfected the launch control, had 2 goes at it now so mastered it perfectly. Really need to make a video.

I took my mate who owns an old Saab out in it estlier. Seems you are correct, he wasn't impressed. I then had a go in his Saab and it definitely is like a budget £20 supercar. Apologies for doubting your opinion.

Nic Barnes from the Lake District internet how are you finding ownership of a quick version of a German marque?
I bet you're as pleased as I am with my M135i.

The commute to my new job isn't too bad on fuel considering it's a performance car in stop start traffic. Happy with that.
the good news is my air intake is due to arrive next week. its a supplier issue that has caused the problem but at least i know.

Have heard a mk3 golf vr6 with no rear seats is almost as fast from 52mph-73.5mph. £1500, one months payment, no deposit. Talk to me.

Makes me cringe when i read things like
"good representation of my ownership" & "the planets aligned"
The car scene isn't what it used to be, just people taking photos of their day at dealerships. People don't even wash their own cars any more. Deciding what tyres to buy is the main discussion on car forums these days.
