Well it certainly gathered pace this week.
This morning Hannah told me my car is in the UK. I've now had the dealer phoning saying they expect it next week, and sent me a list of number plates to choose from.
Better start getting my present car ready for exchange. Getting excited now.

Do you know what your build date was?

Mine was 29th March and been told its on the Grande Baltimora which was due in Antwerp on the 16th May but tracking it online its now due in on Sunday or Monday.

Yours could be on the same boat? My dealer said my ETA is 3rd July
build date was 20.04.2021

Funny how different dealers prioritise different parts of the process - mine asked me to choose my number plate a couple of weeks ago even though my car is still sitting twiddling it's batteries in Antwerp!!!

I have the front seat tilt function on my current Kuga. It also has lumber support. After about 6 months I started to get bad back ache. I suffer with back problems anyway which is why a car with lumber support is a must. Anyway I went to a chiropractor and she told me that the problem was probably my seating position. When I flattened the seat I was fine and have been ever since. The seat tilt function is not what is cracked up to be. And I'm 5'11"
Thanks - I suppose I’m used to having the seat base tilted back but perhaps I would adapt, though it seems a big risk to take.
I found the seat itself very comfortable, just couldn’t find the combination of angles I wanted

That'll probably come with experience of it. I'm like that with my cars- it can take weeks until I find the best adjustment to suit me!

Congratulations @portlandg :)

If all things go well I may be collecting mine next week as well (Saturday 29th) - Of course now I've said it out loud I've probably cursed it ?

It's all systems go. Car has arrived at the dealer's compound (about 40 miles away) but won't get to the dealership until Monday. They are part of a group so all their new cars go to a central compound and get onward moved from there. Direct Debit form and finance documents signed. Insurance sorted. Added bonus is that the interest rate has gone down and so now my payments are about £50 cheaper than I had budgeted for. Result. Collection all arranged for Wednesday. I'm so excited. Can't see me getting much sleep over the next few days. Please tell me that I am not the only one who has a collection date arranged. I will feel VERY guilty if I am.
is that the ford finance interest rate?

Seems the Ford PR team are pushing lots of new content to accompany the launch.

This offering from AutoTrader popped up in my Recommended feed today (damn that algorithm is good!)

(SPOILER ALERT - NEITHER WINS!)

Not just the dealers, but the whole process has not been very enjoyable.
Think my dealer had received an email, being as Hannah apologised to me again this morning that I've not been receiving updates at all.
