I've ordered an FR 20vt

[ChrisBowe82]

UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE

I got a phone call this afternoon from a guy at the dealership who told me he is replacing the original guy who I dealt with because he had left the company. Anyhoo, he said that mine is currently on the boat somewhere as it left the port about a week ago and that it should be in the country in about a week and i'll get it in about three weeks. Which ties in with what Chris said originally. So we will be getting them at the same time. Ish. At least that's cleared things up a bit and I have more of a definitive date as to when I get mine. And I know it's definitely not mine that Chris has nabbed! Haha.

Nice one mate, glad the balls finally rolling the right way now!
Bet our car's are on the same shipment then, have to find out who gets to be the first to drive it now .....and who gets to the best reg first haha

just deciding how long to leave it til i get an LCR splitter!

order it now ^^

 

[ChrisBowe82]

sweet! it's in the country. Should have it next friday, I got the reg today. Gonna be the longest week ever!

EDIT* FRJon, you had a call yet? if not check with your dealer, because they were probably on the same ship, so with a bit of luck, your's should be in the UK as well!

 

[FRJon]

No mate, i've not had a call yet. But i'm expecting one tomorrow now!!
Did you get to choose your reg? I asked the dealer that and they said I wouldn't get to choose one as they allocate them straight out to the cars and you get what you get. Gits.

Ooooh exited now!!!

Na mate, I got given my reg yesterday, didn't get to choose. when I got my 206 a few years back, I got the choice of 6/7, but i'm not bothered, i'm just really looking forward to next friday. cant wait!

I have always found SEAT to be helpful, if they can and you go about things the right way. You catch more flies with honey after all. Good for you and good for them.

result with the leon! az mk

 

[FRJon]

Right, next update!
I got my call on monday telling me my new reg. It's pretty standard, bit disappointed really. I live in Leicestershire and our first two letters begin with F. So lot's of FL's and FE's. So I was praying for FR! No chance, got FD instead. Nevermind. Anyway, I could get it either the end of this week, like Chris, or the beginning of next. How the hell is mine the last to come when it's been 9 weeks?

 

[ChrisBowe82]

FRJon, nice one that your car is nearly ready, I'm hoping I can pick mine up tomorow (Friday) I think your's took so long coz mine was already built when I ordered, and they build them in batches and colours, and coz not many people order petrol FR's, they are built in batches less regularly than diesels and lower spec models, so you probably ordered and then waited ages for them to build that batch of petrol FR's, wheras I was lucky to have ordered after they'd been completed.

Hope it's friday, rather than sat spent all night in the rain ripping out my ICE and stuff, before my pug goes to the dealer.

Blimey you lot have had a time and a-half getting your cars!

When I got Sport PD in December I ordered it on 9th November. Within 2 weeks I had a delivery date of 1st December, but collected it on 30th November. That was a very long three weeks in my 307!!

Mine was so quick because it was already built I think, just in a port in Spain! .

Hope you love your new cars guys - I love mine
