I called up my dealer to see what was happening with my cupra, he said it should arrive tomorrow or thursday, and i can collect next wednesday (my next day off)
Im soo excited now, it took me 3 hours to stop bouncing around work telling everyone today :happy:
 
spoke to dealer today and it still hasnt been shipped. so this is the 3rd week of it being sat there doing nothing. getting annoyed. but we have pushed the dealers to start try to get it here for the 24th of this month.
 
I am pretty sure it will be here bud. Mine has not been loaded onto a transporter yet either so I am hoping it is here before the week-end.
 
oh really? damn man... might be because off easter weekend. possibly will be on one today? it will only take a few hours to get to the dealer! lucky lad you!
 
Yup, all confirmed mine arrives at the dealers tomorrow and I will collect on Saturday morning!!!! WOOHOO!!!! Also some other lucky owner that ordered a red boc will get thiers too as it also arrives on the same truck tomorrow.
 
I don't think it has quite sunk in yet Nick hehehehehehe. I think once I actually have the keys in my hand Saturday morning I will truly believe that I have it, gonna be plenty driving around on the week-end hahahahahahhahahahaha

NICK.......................................
 
hhaha yeh... we probably wont see you for a week... you will probably be living in your car! lucky guy! just wait till you start her up for the first time! i cant wait for that!
 
About the delays and the deliverytime:
I wonder if anyone of you guys have hard the same as i have. About a week after i ordered my car i called the dealer to see if there had been any progress. He told me: "One week, the factory makes cupras/bocs, and another week they do the diesels etc.." I Wonder if that was just him talking rubbish or if it´s really true? It cant be an effective way to produce cars if that is true.. And it would explain the long wait for us buyers.

Thinking of this, and reading on the forum i have noticed that it can be some truth in what he said. A couple of members here are getting their new cupra/boc this week or the next week, and i know from reliable sources that a shipment of cupras are coming in to Sweden next week. Its almost as far to Sweden from Martorell as it is to the UK, so what do you think?
 
yes that is how they are built, they do it this way due to thhe different body styling... on the cupras/bocs, to the ibiza. it isnt a silly way at all of building the cars. if they built all different every day, they would be resetting the machines all the time. hence why they do this.

They don't actually make the panels at that factory though do they? i can only talk about high end cars - Jags, LR & Astons but they all recieve the parts in and then they go down the track getting assembled. using the pre-made parts

for example aston uses the same line to build the DB9 & DBS, i know that this is very specialist and it's not really a moving track line as such.

i just assumed thought that's was what they all did?
 
Surely the only body panels that are different on the FR/Cupra/Boc are the bumpers, the rest would be the same?

I though the way it worked was that they waited untill a certain number of orders for similar specced cars came in and then did them all in one go.

I read that on here somewhere, but it could be totally wrong.
 
Mk2 - You got my heart racing saying there's a red one as well thought it was mine because orderd from same garage just spoke to them and saying it's on the boat. Not be long hopefully. Lol
 
Aaawww sorry mate. I know they have 4 bocs going out this month and mine and a red one arrived there today. So one more red and white one to get there soon.
 
nah, i havent heard anything today, i dont hear till friday... its every friday i get my updates. but surely it must be on a boat now you would of thought anyway... after it being 3 weeks since it was built. engine goin to be ceased up by the time i get it. hahahahha
