Where are you Gavin ............ there are tons of fans out there that miss your input. We know you are missing your EOS and are up in the air, but we still miss your pearls of wisdom! Talk to us!

How about it everybody? Let Gavin know we need to hear from him!

Maybe I shoudn't have said I was going offline for a week.... Then when I got back, could have seen if anyone noticed!

 

[schoolhousefred]

Oh Simon .... it won't take long to notice! Cheers!

 

[GOgg]

Yes Gavin lets have an update you'r are being missed.
How's the Eos saga going?

 

[jamcar]

come back GAVIN

 

[SiJ2000]

Come back indeed!

Well, I was gone for over 2 weeks and nobody noticed. Wonder what Gavin has that I don't have.

Anyway, no Eos yet. My salesman was sure it would be here at the end of September and delivered to me last Tuesday. Now I'm told it won't be at the dock until Nov. 2. So, what was to be a 12-16 week delivery time looks like 20-21 weeks at the earliest.

Not missed AND no car -- it's almost too much to bear.

Welcome Back Roberta!
We definitely missed you too .... search dogs were just about to go out for you, when we saw you listed on the sign in sheet. glad you are back!

 

[SoCalMan]

Welcome back to all, now and
in the future.

Welcome Back Roberta!

Thanks SHF! I was back east visiting with friends, relatives, children, and grandchildren. I celebrated my birthday on a movable feast through MA, NH, CT and then west to San Diego, CA. Now I am a year older and surely on the cusp of being too old for a bright red car. But, I plan to fake that for many years to come -- in spirit anyway. Hoping you are in tip top shape yourself!
(Sorry to get off topic -- I have no other car news or info to tell anyone. As others have reported, the extra waiting is beyond disappointing, especially given my dealer's positive expectations for delivery upon my return. Trying to stay positive -- good things are worth waiting for.)
And, hanging out here with you nice folks is a great way to pass the time -- glad to be back!!
Roberta

 

[schoolhousefred]

No faking required, Roberta .... I'm a lot older than you and my car isn't red but my ATV is. And .... as soon as I get it, wait til you see my new red winter vehicle. It's a secret for now, but picture will follow when I receive it!
Glad to have you back!

 

[bugger]

where is the gavster anyway??? i havnt seen him on in some time!!!

 

[jamcar]

Welcome back Roberta, I can assure you that your absence was indeed noted by Fred. Glad you enjoyed your birthday jaunt, sorry to hear about car delay. And no more talk of being to old for a bright red car.
Good to see you on site again

 

[SiJ2000]

Welcome back!! See, you are getting lots of attention now

 

[Gavster]

I'm here - and have been reading all of the posts - just haven't felt like contributing as much as we don't currently have the car.

Latest update on Friday from VW:

'Hello... I'm just ringing to update you that there's no update as yet'

Wonderful isn't it!

 

[SiJ2000]

I think that's very lame under the circumstances mate!

I assume you are keeping the old one in the mean time..

 

[schoolhousefred]

Good to hear from you Gavin .... in spite of no news. Give em hell, Mate. They owe you big time, and you should be put at the top of the VW priority list. They have supplied you a defective car and morally are obliged to satisfy you before providing new ones!

 

[Gavster]

Nope - they have lent us a diesel Touran. Not a bad car but not my cup of tea.

All the more reason to make your dissatisfaction known!

HA! You said "moral obligation." I like the optimism, Fred.
