No records found.
Oh well - probably has to be scanned at the docks first, or its not going to be on the 16th.
ETIS not showing the uprated springs for me yet, then it supposedly takes a week to get to the docks does it not?

Thanks :thumbsup:
I'm hoping they've got things sufficiently sorted that it won't take over a month from build to make it to the docks...but who knows.

I think the the springs showing on the equipment list was just for first run cars that weren't properly integrated into the line yet. Now, though, it should just be a case of grabbing the relevant parts off of the shelf on the line itself. From what I understand the suspension tuning was a last minute deal since European reviewers panned the ride quality on USDVs

It should just take a day or so to reach the docks if what I'm hearing is correct. Given mustangguy64's car only took two days to go from Flat Rock to Baltimore its very likely that ours will probably be at the docks already, or at the very least en-route today.

I'll be checking WWL's cargo tracking on Sunday, a day after the next ship is set to sail toward Zeebrugge and finally Southampton.

I'd love our cars to be moving that quickly, but it looks like it was one month and two day unfortunately! As you say, hopefully the process has been slightly refined, but given my wait so far I'm going to expect the worst for the moment and hope to be pleasantly surprised...

Oh so it is! I didn't realise the change in month I was so focussed on the day.

Yeah, you two might be lucky and hop on that ship departing soon, and therefore you'll probably get your cars mid Feb, although, that I doubt and you'll more likely hop on one next week (I think the ships are twice weekly, but im assuming a backlog of orders) which should get to you in like 15< March, that's, again, my estimations, shipping routes have been 'sped up' (How you do that idk).


But needless to say, to get my car in time for the things i'd got planned for it (After originally moving them forward) I might have to fly the b4stard over :lol:

[MENTION]benanderson89 [/MENTION][MENTION]davidb [/MENTION] My minor options list is changing albeit subtly! Got a mention for the gearbox, model and variant at the bottom now. No coils yet though!

There are some very subtle changes to my options list today as well. Build date is now showing as the 13th.

Interestingly, I now have the features "Less ICE Noise Reduction" and "with up-sized front stabilizer bar". More than okay with these little extras. :D

Just for info, my build date was 08/12/15 and the new springs didn't show up on ETIS until about 2 weeks after that

What I want to know is why does it take a while to show the different European springs on the ETIS form?

They would've been installed on the line itself.

The inner workings of the Ford Motor Company are a mystery to me.

If Im correct these are added after the car has been assembled. Probably a bottle neck and cueing behind other cars as this will not be as slick as the normal assembly line
