Well ..... Hope you're not stuck in the snow somewhere mate !
Anyway ..... Let me know what you're doing. I'm at work now, could've sorted a day off, but without contact, didn't. Also, as you're still undecided on the replacement, (Merc / Jag), I'm not really sure what the urgency is. A dealer will normally take a couple of days to prep the car, especially over Christmas.
But ..... The cash is in the bank,
, don't tell Mrs C though, she doesn't know yet !
