Seems abotu right :). RS' come way quicker than a Mustang don't they? Last dealer I spoke to said the lead time was 4 months unless I wanted a cancelled order (all i'd done is ask to test drive one for fun lol!)

I reckon the lead times are pretty similar, it's the shipping that extends the Mustang lead time. My car was actually ordered on Jan 4th and is being built in April. My RS was a cancelled order that I had time to change.

Yeah 'stang takes 7-10months, RS takes about 4-5 months, because of the travel time for the stang really.

Any old shite.
Heard a couple weeks ago that mine was built on the 6th Feb and is currently waiting for a ship in Baltimore.
I keep checking the W&W tracking site but nothing yet. It's driving me crazy!

It takes quite a time, mine was built 8 Dec but did not leave Baltimore until 25 Jan, so just over 7 weeks.

Looks like 4 of us are on the Tijuca!!
Woohoo! Starting to get excited now :)

Hoping that there are no storms delaying it from getting in to Zebrugge on the 23rd - still hoping to get my hands on it in April! :cheers:

Yeah mine is one of them.... ive found you can actually track the ship via live GPS on www.vesselfinder.com :-)

I'm still searching for the captain's phone number so I can give him a call if he drops behind schedule at any point :-)

Karen emailed me this morning and said the current turn round in Zebrugge is typically 5 days, then ship to Southampton (2 days), then hopefully on a transporter within 4 days (as very little storage space at Southampton docks), so April is very achievable, I'm still hoping for early to mid-April in time for the Bank Hols.

Fingers crossed !!!

I have been told by my dealer that he expects to see it around the 22nd April.
