Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Finally had JCB Medway confirm my Tornado Red 5dr GTD is set for build week 9.  :laugh:.


Ordered on the 7th of November but haven't had a tracker number until today. Its been torture.

Only had a 15 minute test drive but knew from that, the GTD was the correct choice, roll on 4 weeks time.

How come they did not give you an order number - they gave me mine with the the first e-mail/letter confirming the order.

Anyway at least they are consistrant in the timing - I was build week 8 and ordered a week before you...

Car was ordered through my company car scheme. Our HR are a nightmare when it comes to ordering cars. They couldn't be bothered to contact the dealer for a tracker number.(Instructed me not to contact the dealer either  :angry:)

Took a guess that JCB would be the supplier as they were meant to arrange a 3 day test drive back in October (They couldn't get me anything until January, so went to my local dealer in Stirling and got a 15 minute blast in there Tornado red GTD demo.

I may have got a little inpatient on Monday and "accidentally"  :whistle: phoned JCB. At least i now have a tracker number, may not have a job much longer though lol.

Im not at liberty to answer yes or no to that question  :cool: lol.

Worst bit about my wait was four weeks ago, i arrived at the office to find a Tornado Red GTD sitting in my usual parking space. I just about crashed my current car lol. I thought my car had arrived arrived early without HR letting me know.
I was devastated  :cry: when it became apparent the car was in fact a colleague that was visiting from another site.

Apparently he waited 6 months for his.

I would e-mail dealer back and ask him why he is telling you that if it says BW9 confirmed on the tracker....
