Woohoo! Finally, some progress

[Manders Mustang]

No, 'Stiffy' was a totally balls-up typo, embarrassing at that, probably refers to how he's feeling right now though :lol:
[MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION] Yep, i know but me and STIGGY have been on the same communication loop for everything from original build dates etc, so we'd kinda guessed if one of us gets an update the other one would follow suit pretty quickly.
[MENTION=18440]stiggy[/MENTION] i've emailed Karen today hoping to get an update. Genuinely happy for you mate!! not long now!

yes, the "1" doesn't mean anything; the rest is the "planned build start date" that usually only appears a day or two before. You have then "generic" date prior to that. The build can actually take more than a day (depending on where it is at the end of the shifts...)

So you are correct; in theory all the parts are in the right place ready to be assembled into your car - today!

for your window sticker, this one often works better:

replace 1FA with your full VIN, and remember the convertibles have a different starting code to the fastback.

Thanks deep south. That was the link I used to get the window sticker. I think the last time I checked was Friday, so may have been live for a day or two before I checked today.

Anyway, regardless, I'm just happy that finally the car seems a bit more 'real'!

Thankfully the spec on the Window Sticker is right too ;)

Shame the standard equipment list 'may not apply in export markets' - but I knew that anyway.

What is a smoker's package though? cigarette lighter or ashtray in cup holder?

Smoker's package is basically the 'ciggy lighter' (aka what we use to charge our phones) thing, I think it also comes with a removable plastic ash tray that fits into the cup holders... Which will swiftly be thrown as far away from my car as possible (Or put into the glovebox for safekeeping)

Glad things are finally moving! The sooner you get your car, the sooner you can take me out for a spin

 

[shivatastic]

Yeah ciggie lighter below the shaker and a "smokers" cup thingy for your ash etc... Mine is already in my glovebox

Or use the ashtray for loose change....

If cars ordered today will be built by May then it should be safe to assume that your build can't be far off.

It shouldn't be anyway, as i said, same communications as Stiggy (Originally Nov 11, Then before end of 2015, then early jan), anticipation is now killing me , madly refreshing emails and what not :lol:.

It would be my pleasure mate - you may not thank me afterwards though :lol:

That's what I thought I'm not a smoker, so mine will end up the same way!

Well my ETIS now looks like this... I think it's alive....

It lives! It's now a real thing!
Looks like you and Stiggy might make it to the ship docking on Saturday (16th)

If it makes it to that boat I can stand down the squadron of winged pigs... ;)
I think it takes a week to get to the docks after it gate releases.

Once built, do they still go to the "outfitters" for the UK coils (and who knows what else)?

Keep an eye on your "minor options" expanded list in ETIS for:
• FR3C 5310 C* Left/Front Coil
• FR3C 5310 C* Right/Front Coil
• FR3C-5560-K* Left/Rear Coil
• FR3C-5560-K* Right Rear Coil
to be added at the bottom - they seem to be added a few days later than everything else....

Now you know "your car" is built, the anticipation just gets worse....

My minor options list isn't showing much at all currently but will be keeping an eye on it. Then I can start fretting about gate release, rail travel, US docks, boats, Zebrugge, Southampton, transporters and then after all that...THE DEALER
