There still seems a little confusion. Could the guys that have had theirs delivered tell us:

1) The Build Week of the car
2) When the Car arrived at the dealer
3) How long from arrival at Dealer to pick up (obviously ignoring the fact of waiting for March for 07 plate)

Seems to me that those built Week 4 or before are all now at the dealers.
Mine was built Week 6 (Feb 5th - 11th) and arrived at the port Week 7 (Wednesday 14th Feb)
It was still there on the 21st!!
I phoned the dealer this week on Tuesday and he gave me a reg plate, saying the car was in the country but NOT at the dealership yet.

I will post when it arrives and again when I pick it up.

Thick question sorry in advance. when you say build week 4 for example does the 4 mean the 4th week in 2007? and say the 6th week into 2007?

Thanks

I ordered mine on Jan 12th.

Mine was built week 7 (feb 12th), and was expected around now.

Dealer called me two weeks ago and said it is  in Germany awaiting shipping.

I called him yesterday and it is still awaiting shippnig, so could be another couple of weeks.   :sad:

I was informed by the dealer that awaiting ship means that it is on the ship, but the ship has to fill up with cars first before setting sail. :sad:

I would expect that if this is the case (and not just a sorry excuse from the dealer) then if yours was the first on, it could have quite a wait and even cars with different build weeks may be on the same ship :sad:

I ordered mine in early November and the build week is the 1st week in March. All these January order people can't complain just yet  :grin:

Mine's at the Dealer Today!!  :grin:

So built Week 6

Arrived at the Dealer end of Week 9

So you can say 4 Weeks from Build Date to Deliver date

I've been told it will be PDI's and ready to pick up Tuesday!! How long is this weekend going to last!!!

Hope this helps the others who are still waiting.

SHE'S HERE BOYS  :wink: :cool: :grin: :laugh: :rolleyes: :tongue: :drool: soory for all the aforementioned but thats how I feel. I am just going out now for a little tootle round the block ha ha. I ordered mine on 2/11/2006 and had a build week of 4 (2007 ) it was at the dealer by 2nd /3rd week in Feb, so  7/ 8 week 2007. So just a short wait for the 07 plate I dont think you people will have too long to wait now, but its worth it, anyway cant stop there's a red girl on the drive waiting to be taken out :drool:
