Arrgghh... delayed again!!

[p3eps]

A week ago last Friday (25/5/07) I got a call from my stealer saying that my Ed30 was built, and would be shipping after its inspection and WOULD be with me within 2 weeks.
I spoke to him last week about getting a stereo fascia ordered up so I could collect it when I collect the car.  He checked the status for me and advised that the car was on the boat, and would be good to go within the specified 2 weeks... and he'd phone me at the end of the week.

I called on Monday, and after calling about 10 times I managed to get hold of him.  He told me it would be ready on the 14th June - which is another whole week than I was expecting!!  I was actually starting to get excited - thinking that I could pick it up at the weekend.  He said it would be docking on Monday 11th, and would be ready for me on the 14th.

The car was ordered 3rd March and I was told 8-12 weeks.  By the time I get to pick it up it'll be a day short of 15 weeks 

The 13 week delay I've suffered has already been long enough... I'm sure the next 9 days will feel even longer!!!

It'll be all the sweeter when you get it.

Anticipation is half the enjoyment of getting a new car

I ordered mine on the 5th March, I spoke to the dealer Mon who said it should arrive Thursday and should be ready to pick up Fir/Sat but his tone of voice did not reassure me and having read the above I am begining to think I will also be delayed.

I would guess its probably on the same boat?

I hope not otherwise it's another week, If it is on the same boat then maybe as I live down south hopefully they will drop mine off first and then ship it up north, I think from memory you are up in Scotland ?? I will call them today and see what they will say.

[p3eps]

Yeah... I'm in Scotland.  I thought it would dock somewhere on the coast of England and then be taken up by transporter?
Hence why the boat comes in on Monday and I don't get it till Thursday.
The guy said its normally a 1 day turnaround when they get it.

I go to Sheerness (Kent) most weekends with work and regularly see VW's/Audis on the car transporters from the docks, this sunday just gone I saw a red Ed30 the only thing I could see was it didn't have xenons! Might be someone on here is waiting for it!! I'll keep an eye out for yours pe3ps! 

[NotWaitingAnymore]

 I have just spoken to the dealer, said he has spoken to Sheernes and they have confirmed that delivery to them will be late Thur pm and that the car will be ready Fri pm or SAT am.

These next 3 days are going to be like watching paint dry!!!!!
