Can't see anything wrong with either the steering wheel OR the handbrake!

Go for it Dawn, you'll be really happy with it I'm sure

AFAIK, the only difference between this and a "UK supplied" one is that it won't have locking wheel nuts.
Not entirely true, it also only has a 60k warranty and not a 90k.

After the trials and tribulations you had with the Honda dealer I hope this is the one - You deserve a great car and a hassle free experience.

Are the centre console sliding door on the newer cars black or gunmetal? - looks great. Mines a brushed aluminium type, I always worry I am going to scratch mine with my watch strap.

07 steering wheel that is

How many miles Dawn? is it brand new? It's def an 07 car - got the 07 wheels. (or were they 06, I get confused!!)
misinformation rules

+06 for the steering wheel and alloys. My old car had the same.

Along with new seats, black center console and gunmetal radio door, roll hoop speakers & locking wheel nuts!

BTW not ALL imports on +06 cars have VSA so it is worth checking!

Well tomorrow's the day. If all is okay, I pick it up on 1st September!

Still trying not to get excited but i've never been good at that!

Guys called again this morning to check everything's okay and he's faxed me through some documentation showing that this car was manufactured in June 2007 so it's defo a 2007 car.

Got an interview this afternoon so need to just keep a lid on things and act professional before going

Can you feel the excitement people????
