Order date:25.2.2014
Build date:24.4.2014
Delivery date: next week?

My Fist arrived last weekend to the dealer. There it was standing by himself in the yard covered with dust.
This week I am so busy I did not have time to pick up the car. Tomorrow ferry to Estonia Porsche service. Save is about ? 1000 and quickly gained the service time.
I will pick up the Fist end of the week. They have to install Mountune kit and also make a delivery service.

 

[Fortz]

Nope

Damn. Hope you get it without too much delay... Mine has been bump from June 11 to 5, hoping there's no delay too

 

[Fortz]

The dealer called this evening to say it's arrived !! I go pick it up thursday evening (probably the longest 2 days of my life haha)
I just stalked her at the dealership

LOL I did that when they got the dealer ordered car that was the same color as mine but lacking a few options... That was back when the dealer builds were coming before the customer orders.. I even went and test drove that car just to get a FiST FIX ... I feel your pain ... LOL

Congrats! Mine must have fallen off the truck.

 

[Nevermind]

I ordered my FiST on 11th of April and June is build month (so the dealer said). BRING IT ON!

Just heard back from the dealer... I pick mine up on Friday!

 

[Fortz]

Hell yeah!! Congrats!!

Well, dealer said my car is supposed to be built the week of June 9th, so next week. But i have yet to get a window sticker or build date on etis.
So order date was April 14th, Meagan gave me a Vin on May 2nd, and now I am checking etis and the window sticker link every time i blink. Why can't they just put more of these on lots with the options I WANT? Is that too much to ask?

Hahaha, thanks RD, it's a wallet though man. I would go test drive one right now (well, if I hadn't just downed a few beers watching the NBA finals) if I could just to tide me over. There are none on any dealer lots around me

Order date:25.2.2014
Build date:24.4.2014
Delivery date: next week?

Bad luck continues. the original delivery date was supposed to be 6.5 but, surprisingly, the previous night thieves had stolen the tires and rims.
Week went by while waiting for the new rims and the delivery date is moved to the next Monday.
All looked good until today, I was driving little bit topo fast and the police took my the driver's license
It seems that my wife drives a Fist in the next few weeks.
