New Sub
Hi all, I posted on here a few weeks ago asking for advice on the best way to find a new ss Sub Date here in the U.K due to the long waiting times. Thanks to all that responded. Well to my total shock, after only 3 weeks on the list I had the call yesterday and I now have it.

Very happy, and very surprised how quick I got it after the consensus from 8/9 dealers that it was about an 8 month wait. No discount but managed to negotiate a free, rather posh, Wolf winder. Very happy, best to all.

Thanks all, i would attach pics but I'm obviously being dense, it asks for a URL for images, they are just on my phone?
