ED30 Just been built

[john_o]

ooooooh , so jealous 

I know its discussed quite a bit but Im interested to know too.
Ordered late July (about a month after you) , and still no built date from dealer.
Nov delivery was stated.

really worried it might never get here! they say the waits a killer  , and by crikey it is.


UPDATE : While Im typing this , dealer phoned me back .... built date w/b 15thOct , est deilvery 3 weeks later

 

another black ed30 to be born

Glad to here you got a date 

I never really heard much from my dealer in the first three months and all of a sudden he has called me three times now with updates - everything seems to move really fast in the last month before you get it.  From the call to tell me that it was being built to the call today to tell me it has been built was just over a week so now it really is just up to the logistics people to get it over here

i'd be half tempted to get a cheap flight out to the factory and drive the car home 

will help take the sting out of running the engine in

You guys have it easy... I had to wait 6 months for my GTi to be born and we dont get ED30's either

Didn't know you could order from the moon

6 MONTHS

[08micsta]

Where you from Chardy?

In SA you wait for about 8 months. We got ours after about 6
The waiting list for the new R32 is about a year and a half at the moment.
 

And the Citi.:R is about 5 months

Dealer has just called again today to say my ED30 is in the UK and he can have it to me by the weekend    

Annoying thing is I am away to Glasgow this weeekend to watch the Scotland game so I have told him early next week will be fine - so with any luck I will have pics up by this time next week 

So what are the recommendations for run in?  My dealer has said he doesn't believe in run-ins but again it is not his car!!!  What do you guys think?
