Just got back from collecting my new Grande Punto!
It took them about two hours to sort the car out, my fucking name is too long for the DVLA computer system. The car couldn't be taxed with my private plate because of this I have got a 56 plate on it for a few weeks now until the V5 arrives. I'll probably have to wait until after Christmas now to sort it, but never mind
The car drives really nicely. Love it. Blue tooth hands free is a fantastic toy too, as is the USB plug for my MP3 player It's wierd driving a diesel too, have to get used to that. Also, have to get used to the size of the thing! It's fecking massive compared to a Corsa
No pics because it's dark and I can't find my tripod, so you'll all have to wait until tomorrow....
Happy Eddie

Do they do a Grande Punto and normal Punto now, or is Grande Punto the new name?

There is a Grande Punto and a Mk 2.5 Punto out which is a Mk 2 with big head lights.
My name is four words long 24 characters including spaces
I'll get pics up tomorrow morning, but no lips on the bumper Robin. I wouldn't mind getting the little side skirts for it though. I like them

I loved it when the dealer showed me under the bonnet...

brake fluid?
I like the lips, not sure what model they're on, but there's one up the road from me, with a square tail pipe, 17" wheels (i think) and the little lips, looks awesome.

I think it's so I get a full years tax or something. Though I woul have prefered them to sort it on Monday when it came off of the transporter - that would have made more sense.

I can just see the Punto lined with succulent red leather with an inbuilt speaker in the headrest, with Ed slumped in the seat like a proper lord

Yea, my old car had no middle name on it's V5 as does my other Corsa... Not sure whats going on there though
On another note, I seemed to be getting a bit carried away. So I had to tell the car to tell me off if I go over 75
