and never set foot in any dealer! :-(
Your not missing much, just salesmen intermittently trying to blow smoke up your ass!
I had the opposite at my local main dealer the first time I went. Pitched up in the Skoda and went in looking as scruffy as usual wearing jeans and a tshirt. Bloke came over, offered me a coffee and asked if I'd like to be shown round. Showed me some of the cars, chatted about Ferraris generally, showed me round the workshop etc. Was only at this point I mentioned I owned a 348 which I booked in for an engine out belt change (which they price matched to my local indie).
I think there are all manner of dealers from a bit stuffy and standoff-ish to pretty welcoming.
Obviously this was north of Watford where people are more friendly anyway but I don't think that's the only reason ......... :grin:
Just booked myself 2 tickets for the Silverstone Interactive museum (£20 each for buying in advance).
I don't know how practical it's going to be but I was going to park the car up as normal with all the other cars then walk across to the museum? Is this a practical - the museum says that they have their own free parking and entrance is near main entrance to circuit. Or am I best just visiting the museum and parking there and then when done move the car to the circuit (which will most probably be about lunchtime)???
OK I'll do that then - you have to book a time slot for museum so gone for the earliest one ie 10am.
How did both of you get tickets? Did you buy them or get them off your dealer??
