Hi Guys

Have just placed the order for my new EOS and now in countdown mode.

The car is a birthday present from my husband and is being delivered around the 5th November, said I cant have it before then (mean b**ger, luv him really). will post pictures when he finally hands it over, balloons and all knowing him.

Quick observation.*****
We travel the motorways most weekends, and as yet we have not seen one EOS on the road, rare as rocking horse manure or what?.

Happy to have you on board, welcome to the club. What a fantastic present!
Please be patient though the waiting and anticipation is all part of the Eos owning experience. I'm sure the time will pass real quickly then you can get behind the wheel and find out for yourself what we have all been going on about.

Regards

Your husband really loves u :D

Hi ! placed my order in april. tdi sport ,shadow blue, cream nappa seats with i pod connect. Dealer says i should have it 10th july.With all the reports on waiting i'me getting nervous. can someone put my mind at rest.

Hi, some people seem to get a quick turn around but that is rare.

I ordered mine in February and i'm still waiting and I think that is pretty much the same for Gavin on this Forum.

To be honest, I would say put another two months on that. I would say you will get it around September time.

However, if the dealer says different, you may be lucky!

I have been waiting for 4 months and still waiting!

Maybe it depends which country you are in? Some seem to have a longer wait than others...

I think the key to waiting is to not wait... kinda go on with your life... When i ordered my Eos, I had a 6 month wait.,.. but I was as busy as hell. probably the hardest thing with the wait game is being omnline and see other people get their cars before you!!!! However it did educate me alot in the delivery related problems in terms of what to look out for,

yes, if you are thinking about your car during 6 months you'll get depressed :(

Now you have made me nervous::eek: :eek:

All this talk of late deliveries is not doing good things for my complexion and the skin under my eyes.

We ordered early (20 weeks) just to be on the safe side, but it would appear that this tactic may not be sufficient especially as we plan to go away in the car for the weekend of my birthday.

I’m tempted to run a poll to try and gauge the average delivery time, but this may only make matters worse, think I’ll leave alone especially as my nails are already low.

Typical isn’t it, after posting last Sunday and stating that visibility of the car is as rare as rocking horse poo, we traveled over to Coventry and Guess what; we saw 2 silver EOS’s on the M69, one on the way out and the other on the way back (different Reg No’s) is that sods law or what. Still it does prove that they are out there!!.

Greetings CPC from Collingwood, Ontario, Canada!

Don't worry ......... your car should arrive in that window; and, as you can tell from the comments here, you are going to love it. Only thing you have to watch out for is the generous donor asking for his own set of keys!

Happy Canada Day Everybody!

Happy Canada Day, Fred

Thanks Graham,

Sorry to hear about the excitement at Glasgow airport ... but glad to hear no apparent injuries other than one of car occupants. Crazy world!

Yes, as far as I am aware no injuries. Our schools have just come off for the summer and there are a lot of people suposed to have started their summer holidays but now seem stranded and no word as to whats happening regarding normal flights. I really feel sorry for them.

Regards

Got the call today that the car is confirmed for the pre agreed date.

Dealer asked if I would like the car early, "like now" but the hubbie said no, giving the reason that if I got the car before my birthday he would only have to buy me another present so that I had something to unwrap on the day. So I’ve had to bite my lip and decline. I think the sadistic streak in him is coming out!!

What do you guys think:- accept that he's mean or try some more persuasion?:mad: :confused:

Oh i'm sure you can work on him, and you have probably already started lol

It's been a long time coming but we are now in countdown mode. (ordered in May). Only 5 days 10 hours to go, 35 hours of restless sleep hours and the car will be delivered to the door.
Have had the dealer confirm that everything is in place, insurance etc and that the personal plate is fitted (** EOS).

AS soon as I have come down from the clouds I will take some Pics to show you.
This last week will go slower than the last few months.
:) :) :)

Your husband stuck to his guns on you not getting your car before your birthday eh? lol.
Well you are on the final stretch of your wait, I am sure you will love it. Keep us posted. Hope all goes to plan.

Hi CPC. Good Luck with your car. My dealer says I should be able to take delivery of mine weekend of the 10th November so am getting pretty anxious now. Looking at this thread it would seem that there could be a few of us for a possible meet maybe before Xmas in the East Midlands area. Simon has organised two meets at TGI's Watford so far, which is a bit of a way to go for us, but perhaps TGI'S Coventry is just of the motorway and pretty easy to get to. Will bring this up again once mine has arrived and see if there would be any takers.
Gary

I hope the wait is not too long for you. Mine took 8 months to deliver to Australia but I have read English orders as quick as 3 months.

Greetings from London! Welcome to the club!

Latest update on sadistic hubby.

Car arrived at 09:15am this morning as planned (he had dispatched me for the day with my mate) and duly placed in garage away from prying eyes, however he has given me the manual to read which in it's self is torture as I am unable to get to the car to try things out until Monday 5th (birthday date).
He keeps telling me about this and that and how it looks but will not let me peek in the garage, so I am contemplating a raid during the night but it would not surprise me if he hasn’t put a booby trap some where.

Car is complete "apparently" bar for the Sat Nave DVD which according to the dealer is dot supplied by the manufacture but by the dealer themselves and they have stated that their supplier is behind on sending them out, they have guaranteed to have it delivered by Tuesday (6th) but I'm not holding my breath.:( :(

Good Luck for Monday CPC. Don't spoil the suprise before then, enjoy the anticipation!!!!

CPC have a great day on Monday and post some photo's.

Thanks Skidoo and Rex for the best wishes.

If I know Pete it will take me half an hour to get the bunting and balloons off the car. :o I will take some photo's of the adornment just to show you how silly (lovable) he is.

Best of luck for Tuesday Skidoo, (just read your thread on Q&A) hope it arrives on time and in good order

Catch you Monday/Tuesday.:D :D :D

CPC. Well you wont believe this, about 1pm today our dealer rang and said did I want the EURO nbr plates when they come to putting them on. Then just in passing he said ' oh by the way your car is here, Did you want to come and see it ?' Did I !! Lunch was abandoned and 15 mins later we were in the show room (well their holding bay out back actually) taking photo's of the car still half covered in while plastic. Even so she looked fantastic and so much bigger than I had imagined. Anyway pick up next Saturday as planned and off for the first of many EDA's. Can't wait for the next meet so we can join in. Think we will have to organise a meet up this way as I suggested in one of the other posts, as there would seem to be quite a few of us up this way now. Good luck for tomorrow, by the way the Red Nappa looks even better than I had hoped for. Will get the wife to see if she can download some photo's later.

Hi guys

As promised just a couple of photo's to show what a big softie the old man is, as suspected the car was adorned with balloons and ribbon.
Been out in it all day and getting some really weird looks, personally I cant see anything wrong in driving around with the hood down, black clouds overhead and the temperature just above double figures, fantastic, (Pete’s still thawing out).

Good look for Saturday Gary, hope the weather holds up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Well was it worth the wait???? lovely car, your hubby is an absolute star.

PS. The colour of the carpet in the garage needs to be changed, red would be quite apt, would contrast with the paint work a treat lol.

Happy birthday, and many happy EDAs to come.

Happy Birthday CPC. Car and Balloons look fantastic. Bet you felt an idiot driving around with all the balloons flapping in the breeze tho !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CPC!

Your Eos looks fab and what an amazing present! Top marks too for driving around today with your roof down and balloons/ribbons flowing! Many happy returns and EDA's.

Regards Trish

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CPC.
What a great present, now let your husband drive when the baby needs fuel. Happy EDA's.:D Nice photo's.

Mike

Thanks for all your good wishes.
