UK Mustang delivery

[Manders Mustang]

Ironically, shortly after posting I received an email from Karen to say mine has now been gate released

Just waiting to see what vessel it will get allocated to so I can stalk it across the Atlantic :cheers:

Woop woop! Well, i've just been given the most confliting email ever:

After Stacey Emailed me on monday the following:

Good morning,
Your vehicle now has a Vin number- 1XXXXXXXXX0 and has been built.
Once this has been gate released this vehicle will be taken to US where it will be allocated a vessel.

Please feel free to contact in the future for further updates on this.

Kind regards

Stacey Powell

Karen has also emailed me today with this:

TXXXXXXX0

Yay you have a VIN!

It is due for build week commencing 1ST Feb on our systems!??????

I’ll update you again when the system changes.

Good news for you

Kind Regards
Karen

I'm replying to Karen to try and get to the bottom of this, as I'm proper conflicted with these two messages :doh:

I wouldn't be too concerned. I had two build dates 29th Dec and 15th Dec that both appeared on Etis so it's not a smooth one off process. You have a VIN, that's the biggest step.

So do I, I hope Karen Royally fkd up and meant that's when it's due on a boat? :lol: Or that it was JAN not FEB she meant to write... Stacey deffo gave me the full vin to look myself, and said it had been built, no idea why Karen gave me a half vin and a 1st feb date :shrug:.

I've Emailed Karen back, and i've copied staceys email into it, as much with life in general, I don't enjoy being p1ssed around and i don't understand how this mistake could happen (on staceys behalf - if she sent wrong car, vins would be different), and confused at how it could happen (On Karens behalf)

[MENTION=15533]slowhand99[/MENTION] Well, it's a bit different, ETIS gives me no build date, it's the generic 'holder' one, i've got a vin, but stacey said >IT HAD BEEN BUILT< not that it was due to be built, stacey emailed me on monday whereas Karens only emailed me today. Very very confused.

Maybe Karen thought the date was in the UK style (day/month) when it was actually in the US style (month/day)?

Keep an eye out for your window sticker too as it'll have an accurate blend date on it.

As I've said today in a different post, is it really this difficult?

This could explain it, however if it was build W/c 1st Jan then why has Stacey emailed me saying it's been built on the 19th Jan, 18 days after.
Subsequently searching my vin on:
http://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Number-Lookup/WindowSticker/Ford.html
get's no result (Just that blank page saying come back later)

[MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION] it really is apparently this difficult :doh::doh::doh:

Hopefully Karen will say that she made a mistake when she writes back and that Stacey was right.

I really, really, really hope so. :frusty:

The Ford Etis page is now showing all my minor detail, my build date was the 19th and I'm assuming that it's now built.

The window sticker shows r in the 'ramp' field at the top :shrug:

 

[SteveS]

Got an update from Deysha (requested) a short while ago. Apparently my car built 11.01.16 (according to ETIS) left for Baltimore and the docks on Sunday 17th.

Hopefully...
A) this is correct
B) other cars built last week are with it
C) it doesn't have to wait too long for a boat, aka "starkism" ;)

 

[Lone Survivor]

Steve, where on Etis does it give you this info?

The ship to the docks info? That's not in ETIS; you'd have to PM Deysha for that. Forum name is FordService.

Oh, ok thanks

What exhaust ? I've got a corsa xtreme waiting for mine

Not as ballsy as you I'm afraid. The Corsa Extreme is hardcore, you'll love it.
I went for the Ford Racing 'Touring' as I just want the car to be how it should have been out the factory and that's basically a bit lower and a bit louder than stock.
