Yayyyyyy - light is finally at the end of the tunnel AND I suddenly believe in Santa Claus . Car is with the dealer on 24th Dec. Which is slightly difficult due to that date but can worked around. Thankfully we don't have people staying for Christmas. It was mentioned that it could be a few days earlier. So, it has been built by Santa's little helpers and Rudolph and his team are on the way. To continue the Christmas theme - is it too early for mulled wine at 10.33 in the morning ...

Nice day to get the car if you can.
You can give it a spin on the quiet roads of Christmas day and get out of all the mayhem....

You haven't met the family
When I ordered my Puma in October, the dealer said they had no real idea when it would be delivered, but don't expect it before the end of February.
On Tuesday I received an e-mail saying it should be with them mid January. Being a bit sceptical I asked what the build date is, she replied that she can't give one....
as it's currently being built !!! Wahay.

Oooh, you jammy thing.. You were in the door 3 weeks before me. Do you happen to know if you are getting the 2021.75 car with the Recaros or have you switched to the 2022.25 with the Ford Performance seats?ErikThBee wrote: βThu Dec 02, 2021 9:33 pm When I ordered my Puma in October, the dealer said they had no real idea when it would be delivered, but don't expect it before the end of February.

I had a chat with my guy today as I wondered if any date had been put on it or anything. He has no basis for his thoughts that he can share, but he said that my order was showing dealer priority 1 and that he just has a feeling I might not be waiting quite as long as I was pessimistically predicting. Until there is a date and/or a VIN, it's all just speculation.
Rightly or wrongly (For those waiting a long time), I wonder if they pepper in the STs in and amongst the others as and when they have a batch of 1.5s ready to fit in to cars.

155 ST LineX, solar silver, winter/comfort pack, electric boot, driver assistance. I am assuming the more bits added the longer the delay cos of the "chips"
No point adding the order date really -
1. It has already been established that order dates mean nothing.
2. That date might change - 3 changes so far.
3. Order was not placed with a Ford dealer.
Latest update....contacted the dealer today to be told its still waiting to be shipped....after 2 weeks!
It's going to be New Year now.
Total of 6 months from order. It better be worth it......

Yes spoke to my dealership this afternoon was hoping for it to arrive the week leading into Christmas Eve, been set back till the first week of January 2022 , even though itβs left the factory it remains somewhere in Europe ATM . Also got to bear in mind the various Christmas shutdowns along the way . Grrr.
