New Owner (Photo's Added)

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

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

It's the only way he can keep me out of his Jag

Now you have made me nervous:

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!

 

[GOgg]

Happy Canada Day, Fred

 

[schoolhousefred]

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!

 

[GOgg]

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?

 

[jamcar]

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.

 

[jamcar]

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.

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.
