WhiteHArtMart Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 OMG - just spoke to my dealer - reckons car will be with them Monday or Tuesday and I should be able to collect by the end of next week!! Must have used bloody Hoverspeed - car was only built last week! Excited does not explain how I feel!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 that is great news. I got a surprise email from my dealer saying the car was already built, and should be on it's way soon - which was a couple of weeks earlier than i was expecting. the wait now is going to be intolerable! I'm really interested to see what the soundpack is like actually - it's about the only 'extra' available that hasn't been discussed repeatedly on this forum - and so it's the only thing I feel I don't know about!

WhiteHArtMart Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Yep - dealer even kept confirming week 42 as the build week. Seems too quick to me though - 2 weeks from build to dealer??? Still - not complaining. If it helps - I ordered mine on 18th August (or about then!)
