Occasionally a used copy shows up on ebay for less... but you'll get the one from Amazon faster.

You've waited this long.. what's another couple of weeks?

But just so you know, I've also ordered a copy on Amazon... initially, there was a three week wait before the book was dispatched... but after waiting three weeks, I got an email saying that my dispatch date was delayed by another 3 weeks... I'm still waiting... ~_~

oh seriuos? thats naughty of amazon, luckily i just bought a book on ebay for £40, the item went over £40 but as i was the second highest bidder at £40 he gave me a second chance offer, so i should get my driving ambition book tomorow, i was originally going to do it through amazon but i didnt want to wait 3 weeks (it now sounds even longer) so i cancelled my order with amazon and they didnt debit my account, if your interested i can give you the guy's email see if he had any more of the driving ambition books (which are new and include the poster), just send me a message or reply if your interested, thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the offer, but since I've waited this long, mind as well wait out the remaining week or so...

oh, and for those who are interested, another option would be thru McLarenautomotive.com... for £45, but they charge an arm and a leg for shipping... they did for me at least... hence I decided to go with Amazon, despite the wait...

YES.

Went shopping with a friend in local town today, purchased a copy for £9.99 (slight mark on dust jacket) Mint in all other respects. (2003 reprint copy) See pic.
This is my fourth DA, One is still in its shrink wrap.


Try your local book shop!!

My god a driving ambition for £9.99 GBP (pounds not euros) thats cheap i wish i picked my copy for that price, but there are some ridiculuos prices on amazon.co.uk as well for driving ambitions, but im thinking some of them could be the limited edition versions maybe? but highly unlikely.
