Like Buses..

Just like buses, you wait forever for one to come, and then they all turn up at the same time.

Having been on a wait list for WG YM 226659 for the last 6 months or so (including a deposit), as I shared in a previous post on Wednesday, I found one in the display at another AD and jumped at it.

You guessed it. I just got the call! They “have something nice” for me... I have not returned the call yet.

Not sure how challenging these are to find, but wanted to check here if anyone is looking/waiting. Happy to share details.

I've seen at least 2 of those among the handful of AD visits I made the last couple months. My guess is that they are readily available and the AD trying to impress you with a "nice surprise" is dangling the wrong carrot or perhaps goading the wrong horse.

Are both of them the same model? If they aren't and you like them both, take this opportunity to take both.

I think they are the same if it’s the same post I’m thinking of

Both 226659.

Maybe when I call back and let him know I need to pass as I just got one, he will offer me something else...

What about that deposit you left at the AD? Can you get it back now?
