Sick of waiting

[Wayneos]

I’m starting to agree on the safari windows, even if they don’t leak, chuck a wet coat in the back and the next day they’ll be dripping with condensation…..
I’m talking myself into it already!

Today my status banner moved from Sick of Waiting to Eagerly Anticipating as I met the Grenadier I so carefully specified over a year ago. The drivers door needs a considerably greater slam than the other doors, and there is one small scratch to rectify but other than that; it’s perfect. I can’t wait!

My car is at Jardine Colchester. Agreed PDI next week and collect Tuesday 6th June. No roof bars (therefore no light bar) and no rear table. They have 37 in the queue for PDI’s.

It seems my waiting journey is coming to an end . Car landed Saturday , paid the Bill early hours of Monday Morning . Got the call Today car already PDI'ed and ready to go. Registration on Thursday so that i do not loose out on one month of tax. Pick up Friday after work . Can't wait ! Wife already gave it a nickname .... Christian ( i was as confused as you , she said that since it has a red chassis it reminds her of her Christian Louboutin heels. Cannot argue with that . Christian it is then )

Well done Tinki, think you may be the first on the road in NI. I saw mine on Saturday morning and will hopefully be close behind you. I also saw yours with the red chassis, looks good.

Time for a new Sick of Waiting thread, North American addition. I placed my order today and haven't gotten a contract, VIN number, delivery date - seriously IA, c'mon and get with it.

Is there a little unpatience in the US? No need to, relax.

I placed my order 05/07/2023 at 5:12 pm.

First IA email 05/07/2023 at 5:12 pm, one sentence amongst others was

[ Den voraussichtlichen Baumonat teilen wir Dir innerhalb der nächsten 24 Stunden mit.

We will inform you about the expected month of construction within the next 24 hours. ]

Second IA email 05/07/2023 at 5:18 pm, one sentence amongst others was

[ In der kommenden Woche melden wir uns mit weiteren Einzelheiten zu den nächsten Schritten auf dem Weg zu Deinem Grenadier.

We'll be in touch next week with more details on the next steps on the path to your Grenadier. ]

Third IA email 05/07/2023 at 8:43 pm

[ Hallo J,

Anbei findest Du die Quittung für Deine Vorauszahlung in Höhe von €…. Du stehst so dicht davor wie nie, einen der ersten Grenadier zu erhalten, die aus unserer Werkshalle rollen. Schon bald wird er für Dich einsatzbereit sein.

Dein Grenadier-Team

Hello J,

Enclosed you will find the receipt for your advance payment of €.... You are closer than ever to receiving one of the first Grenadiers to roll off our factory floor. Soon it will be ready for you to use.

Your Grenadier Team ]

This was the last IA email I received since. Not even the month of production, let alone the year, was communicated. Stay calm and chicken dance. J

Same procedure here, the order date @IGL mentioned is certainly a typo, more like July, 2022. I have a confirmed order dated Feb, 16 of 2023 (no typo), same text modules, but still no estimated date of manufacture. After the promise to get in within 24h after order, I have requested this twice, the answers were more text modules, more or less “we tell you, once we know ourselves”.
This project requires patience and tolerance for bad habits. So far I can manage….

No typo but US date format MM/DD/YY, not German date format DD/MM/YY
