Congratulations. My order (for my replacement) was made end of November, and expected delivery date of mid September. Hope I'm wrong and you get it in Summer so you can really enjoy it. However, no matter how long you wait, it is mist very worth it.

Thanks for all the replies guys.. I hope I get her before they start salting the roads next Winter!!

I think we should arrange a factory visit so we can all watch her getting built??

They don't do tours :(

Well, they sometimes do them during the week of the Woodward Dream Cruise, which I'm hoping to attend this year! I even tried to get a visit when I was over in Michigan last year. Despite having a friend who works for Ford (ex-SVT) even he couldn't get us in as when we were there they were having prototypes going down the line and Joe Public certainly isn't allowed to see them!

I did get a pretty amazing tour of the other Ford facilities though :)

On the subject of stripping her down, you don't know how correct you are!! There will be some pretty crazy mods on this one.. I'm currently deep into the build of a GT86 race car. Follow me on instagram GT86_Nige

I have seen tours on YouTube, so why can't I have one? (said whilst stamping and beating the desk in a spoilt little swine style)

Congrats, Gloucesternige!! :thumbsup:

Only if that visit was possible, it would be a great idea! At this time only The Ford Rouge Factory in Dearborn, MI is the only Ford facility that provides an ongoing public tour. The tour is a five-part adventure where visitors can see how cutting-edge environmental practices and industrial innovation mesh to create one of the world's most enlightened and forward-looking factories.

For ticket information, please visit the Rouge Plant Tour website or call 1-313-982-6001 or 1-800-835-5237.

Done that. It is a great tour and coupled with the Henry Ford museum a brilliant day out. They make F150's in the Rouge plant.
