Question for Alistair. ....

Al.... have you had any word yet about the 500 you ordered for your sister? My 2 have been stuck at "status 35/40" for over a fortnight. Just looking to see if you're in the same boat. . It was Donnelly's you went to...right?

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

delivered and handed over 3 weeks ago- although the car was already somewhere in the delivery network, so it was not a fresh factory build slot

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

Ahh... well thanks for that.
I was told 2weeks....errmm 2 weeks ago and was told today.....2 weeks. I don't suppose the dealer is holding on to the 2 I've ordered until the first of October so they can beef-up the sales figures in a month that can be tight for unit sales.....or am I just being cynical d'ya think??

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

get them to show you on the order tracking system where the car is

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

Also i did think it could be down to the summer plant closure (which normally happens in August)This is used to do line changes and maintenance, which is why a lot of car companies' next yr models start production in September.

Not sure if this applies to the Poles though!

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

Annual shutdown was 3 weeks in August when I worked in Ford.

Not that Ford make 500s.....

Re: Question for Alistair. ....

You "worked" ??? ....
Apparently they do close in august however I was told in august that the cars were awaiting shipping. So somebody was doing overtime in the factory during the holidays.
