Let's see, I browse through our thread (good thing it's not ridiculously long), and got,
- saakey (MCS/B/S) - 2/23
- docjohnboy (MCa/BRG/S) - 2/28
- camtek (?) - early March
- mini pony (MCSC/orange) - March
- hong (MCSa/PH/W) - 3/5 (hopefully)
- patgoeglein (MCSJCW/BRG) - 3/7
- daemon2 (MCS) - mid March
- ThompsonR53 (MCS/CR/W, R90s, aero, JCW air, yadda, yadda...), arriving into port of NY on FREEDOM 2/23 - should be picking it up 3/6.
"La Roux" (our little "russetted Red one"...) don't know the exact day it was produced on either 2/3/06 or 2/4 or even the 6th and made it to Southampton on 2/6/06 Mon LATE in the night 11:56pm, just missing the Jingu Maru, then having to wait (what's that ?) until 2/13 to load. So, maybe I'm in week 6, I'll post over there too. Top it off the FREEDOM wasn't on sailtrak (might be due to US gov carrier..? or just not VOS offering) and late by two days due to the storm in the Atlantic according to what WW shows. I hope all is well with this little bugger and received properly on Thursday.

The whole process is pretty smooth. I think a May/June delivery sounds about right.

Order confirmation

thanks for the info.
another question tho.... did you get a final confirmation of your specs/build before production? my friend is having an anxiety attack since she has had so many changes on her specs from the time it was ordered (apprx 2 weeks ago) to this day. just wondering if south bay sends out a final confirmation before their orders are are built.
thanks again.

I have yet to get a clue on any perf./suspen./brake mods, might put the money to driving classes, will see after some actual motoring.
Parcel shelf is on my list, I saw a picture of having the aux port fixed on it, looks pretty neat. I'm holding the order of rubber mats in hope dealer will throw them for free

I've waxed my wheels twice.

The only mods I'm getting are: BBS R90s rims, JCW air intake, aero front only, and the Aux input. for my Palm Tungsten T3 for videos/mp3s. Other than these, I'll whip up some famous Thompson'ized racing graphics ala BMW Motorsport heritage style. Maybe do front mudflaps while I'm at it. My daily commute is like a rallye stage on the Monte.

So Ingolstadt left Charleston last night. Toby should be on his way to or at the VPC now. My MA emailed me and said I could possibly take delivery before the end of the month. I told him I wanted to stick with the March 3 delivery I had previously scheduled because anything sooner would be inconvenient for me. But I also asked if there would be any discount or incentive if I came in before the end of the month. He's checking with his manager
