My 20 delivery got pushed to just before 21 arrival because of COVID. Was disappointing then but I hardly think about it anymore. Wireless charging is really nice to have in a tiny cabin with no storage. I wouldn’t want to give it up.

It was pretty eye catching in person. They also modified the badging to create outlines which was interesting and had it Dinan tuned by the dealership.

I do like the badging on that. Nice different flare though.

Gentlemen (and Lady [sorry for the omit]), I just received a call from my SA and it was good news. The Stop Sale on my car has been lifted and it was released to the carrier. It has a 29 JUL ETA and a tentative pickup of 31 JUL.

I almost cannot believe it. Thank you all for your support over the 6 week wait. I know pictures are owed for your patience and understanding and I will not disappoint.

I just hope the mileage is not overly abused.

Now I can schedule the ceramic and PPF.

Thanks. Long excruciating wait. With my luck, it will either be delivered to the wrong Dealer and sold or fall off the truck.

I always feared that too. Hell.. .when it was on the ship I had a dream I was watching the app and I saw a white Airplane drop a Purple Bomb onto the green ship arrow and the arrow disappeared.

The end is in sight!

Thank you. The secret to my success is raising 3 daughters.

I think I have a PhD in patience now.

That is wonderful news! The payoff will be all the better for hanging in there. You will love this car -- I now have put a whopping 212 miles on mine, after getting it PPF'd and ceramic coating applied. Talk about the next shiney object ... vroom vroom

Congrats, been a long time coming.

Make sure to break it in fast, like me. 6000 RPM's and she likes it.

I'm not sure I can afford all the speeding tickets on a M40 at 6k RPMs.

Thanks.

I have PPF, ceramic, and tinting scheduled for Saturday. I collect car, drive to shop and drop off for a week. I hope the car doesn't have more than 20 miles when I collect, but I shall see.

Really hope they won't make you wait 2 days to pick it up. Mine got to the dealer in the mid morning and was ready for me by the evening. For as long as you waited already, they need to STOP what they're doing and get this thing under your butt ASAP.
