After 4 months of waiting I got an email this morning saying my car has finished production and is in transit!

Wonder how long now? :shake:

Couple of weeks at the most, I would estimate.

I think your enjoying this! Admit it - your tempted to drive up there and have a shufty round the port to see if its been unloaded....

It will be worth the wait :-)

i am sure you will - just try to get a weekday (daylight) collection slot so you can be nice and unhurried and take plenty of time to look over the car :-)

PS - and order some metal pedals - make a huge difference to the look of the interior!

Think I have aluminium look pedals on the GT as standard - are these the same as metal ones? :?

Yes - aluminium is a type of metal :lol:

Put it this way, if they're shiny and metallic, you're talking about the same thing!

Yes that's what I thought until I picked up my new gt in September and it had the rubber ones. Dealer said website is wrong

Haha it's Gota be worth a try. When I collected my car and I noticed it had rubber ones I was annoyed but couldn't be boverd to argue . Was too excited and wanted to get it out for a spin!!
