Stu, if you need to arrange with anyone at Crownhill, I left the details with a chap called Emerald Barry. Best of luck all. Wayne

[vxr220]

Lotus are doing 6 per week. I'll see if I can update the list that vxr220 has put up but matching your real names to your internet names has caused some confusion!

All cars should be complete by first week October. So here's the deal if you email me on stuart.harris@vauxhall.co.uk I will email you back with the date your car goes into Lotus Motorsport for conversion. Its then 7 days from that point + transport to the dealer. Quicker to pick up at factory tho....

So if you're Jim , Jimmy , Steve , Nick , Keith , Simon , Suzanne , Carl , John , Mike Stuart , Peter , Darren , Ben , Jonathan , Andrew , Chris or Mike and you want to know whats happening then let me know. If your name is not there then the car is built and being valetted or its on the way to the dealer or....

PDI's not required, am I correct, car gets delivered to dealer... effectively ready to collect off the trailer?

PDI's not required, am I correct, car gets delivered to dealer... effectively ready to collect off the trailer?

not sure?? Did anyone else have a PDI?? Mine is due to have one tomorrow....

Mine is @ crownhill now or tomorrow morning... (3 phonecalls and having to ask for the sales manager before anyone called me back with some info ) Should be able to pick it up Saturday, i hope

Surely if you can pick it up from lotus then all the delivery to dealer means you don't go to Lotus... hence car should be ready for collection the moment it comes off the ramp?

[Thorney]

You can arrange to go and pick it up from Lotus, Annie did this I beleive and got a factory visit and lunch out of it too

[cheeky_chops]

not sure - Wayne was talking about the quality of the PDI at lotus so i presume it is either Lotus OR dealer. Will get missus to pop in tomorrow, pay some cash and check the car out

On a seperate note - when accepting a car, what is the best thing to do if i see any problems like paint??

You'll be asked to sign a vehicle delivery note which you'll get a copy of. Write on that note the fact that certain things aren't right and you consider them to be rectified.

Stu,best let it be PDi'd if your collecting it from your dealer ,sh*t hot technician will check it over,you must have seen the posts.

[StuVXR]

Yeah just getting a bit over zealous now I think. I will be in Cornwall that week, hoping to get train back up on Thursday or Friday to pick it up and drive it back down. So timing is gonna be a bit tricky. Also - and I know you can't comment definitively, but what do you reckon my chances of getting it AF'd at BH&S as I don't really have a suitable space to have it done at home. The AF guy said he would IF BH&S let him have a space to put it on? Don't worry if you can't comment I will be asking Andy about this. Cheers Steve.
