I'm beginning to realise why its called La Surprise. Shame its not La Pleasant Surprise.
Haha - I think the name is somewhat tongue in cheek.
The surprise will be that it will actually turn up with my car!

Just phones SEAT CS and they've confirmed that my car has just arrived in Sheernesssaid that it would take till the end of this week / early next before it gets to the dealer.

Oke, so I have wrote an e-mail to Seat Romania (as we do not have a phone number) and to my amazement I got a reply 10 minutes later saying that the car has entered Romania and is on it's way to the dealer later this week.
This is greeeeaaat news! If I will receive the car this week I promise I will make such an extended review of every knob and switch that you guys will get bored reading.![]()
Caaaan't waaait!![]()

This is exciting even for those of us who already have a Leon 3.
Looking forward to pics and updates.

Delivery is in the hands of the transporter firm. It also takes a day to unload the ship as each car is driven off individually and the ships hold more than a thousand. Then as you say PDI etc.
I'm hoping by some stroke of luck I'll have mine by the weekend, but more likely sometime next week.
