Omni You were not tempted then to cross the road in Pulborough and order another example of Porsche Leipzig body shop output i.e a Bentley Coupe ;) ;) ;) :lol: :lol:
Every time I drive past, but don’t have deep enough pockets sadly ( or a big enough drive ). Used to use the Landy dealer on the other side though, and it was the same group that used to service the Aston, but not the same garage.

The functionality with the full surround camera makes a big difference, as evidenced by the following images of my ineptitude:

Could be worse. You’re (more or less) within the space, and you didn’t hit the bollard (I hope!). ;)

I'd have refused to accept the loan car with out glass in the mirrors like that.

Its a loaner….I didn’t check. Nothing fell off so I guess I’m good. Getting mine back tomorrow, so back to parking as far away from everything else as possible. And maybe even within the lines.

Why treat a loaner any different to your own?

^^^ If anything, I’m more careful with a loaner than with my own car.

Been given a build slot finally and have to lock in my spec by tomorrow! Thanks for the excellent summary THHGTTG. My build has 21s and air suspension and you’ve now made me question both!

Bose is definitely staying now. Appreciated!

Stick with the air. Omni has an unusually delicate stomach.
