If I remember correctly, he had ordered an ML63, but while he was waiting (and still is) for it to be delivered, he got impatient and bought a slightly used one to tide him over

How far ahead in time is the Q7 V12?

Don't know the ETA yet - dealer will give me a call when he has details. At least I'm top of the list.

Correct - but the one I bought now was also brand new with delivery mileage. Had to get rid of the RR Sport - it was giving me too many problems.

Will see - I test drove a normal Murci last year and the rear visibility shall we say needs "improvement". Don't want to make it harder for me to see - will see in due time

For the world cup 2010, me and some of the buddies are shipping our cars from Cote D'ivoire to Cape town.

I been looking forward to that for a while now.

I don't want to know either

That's a great idea - what are you planning to ship? We should go for a drive! Cape Town has simply stunning roads!

Lovely car, take care.

When they left - I'm sure the stories they said was a bit exaggerated. It's getting there at this point now - this year has been terrible for the country crime-wise.
