Is it only two people we know getting there’s cars today? So despite all the cars getting shipped over to UK recently, the only two cars getting picked up are the ones above. great that it’s a couple of us who ordered over 16 months ago and have been major contributors to the forum. What about the rest of us though who ordered at the same time? Because we haven’t been as vocal or contacted Ford as much, we drop down the list? The whole things a farce. Total and utter farce.
I have to admit I’ve had twinges of guilt over the fact I’m getting mine today when I know so many others are still waiting who ordered at a similar time. :(

Don’t feel guilty! I’m glad at least that it’s one of early orders getting car first rather than someone who ordered last week. Just having a go at the circus that is Ford and total lack of a plan!

Got to remember that for those of us in Scotland there’s an additional delay as Scotland is so far away from Dagenham….?

Have you heard that your car is in the UK?
Haha exactly. feckin joke that they add on 2-3 weeks because we‘re in Scotland! They’ve used every excuse under the sun. re car was told it was ready to leave Antwerp two weeks ago. who knows where it is now! Ive actually lost a lot of excitement I had for this car. Ford have managed to just about drain every last ounce of fun out of the whole experience!

Hey Chaps.

I'm a Alfa 4C owner and we have a great WhatsApp group with about 60 members (there's only 400 in then UK so that's a high percentage of owners) where we all share tips, annoyances, loves etc.

Does anyone fancy joining a Mach E group? It's a great place to chat. DM me if you are interested with your mobile number and I'll set up the group if any of you want to join.

Be guilt free and enjoy. That wont stop the rest of us being jealous though :)

For anyone struggling with their dealers I have had ups and down with mine, but as the demo tour went around and the delivery date has got closer I've been speaking to them pretty regularly and feel that they are now well invested in doing the best by me and my Mach E. I have made sure they can't forget about me though, hopefully in a good way :)

I can't get over the other dealers that aren't communicating though. I was frustrated with mine in the earlier stages, and quite vocal in here about that, but at least they would always speak to me.

@portlandg @Wonky_Donkey Guys do you mind telling me the name of your Ford dealership and your main contacts. My dealership have had my car since Monday but are struggling with the handover process. I swear if I hear ‘please bear with us this is new to us’ again I’m going to friggin lose it. I’d like to give them your contacts who may be able to tell them how to do whatever it is they’re supposed to do. Thanks and please post pics when you pick up your babies.

I've just had my weekly update from Hannah which isn't great news :

Good Evening



I understand tomorrow is our regular status update day, however I am not available tomorrow so I have checked for you today instead.



Your vehicle is currently still in Antwerp undergoing the quality control checks. They are taking longer than expected with a slight delay, simply due to the amount of cars being processed. There is nothing wrong with your car, I can assure you of this as there are no extra quality checks being carried out.



I understand this is not the news you wished to hear, for which I do apologise for this as I know how frustrated you are. I am checking regularly for further progress as we go along.



Thank you



Hannah


So either @BlackheathDiggs has been lucky and sneaked through ahead, or Ford's system has maybe sent the email in error? Who knows?!?!
My F12 "tappsDatetime" data updated overnight to show it moving at 5:40am. I'm hoping this is a move to the Forenso ship that's been taking cars to Flushing, which arrived in the early hours of the night at the location in Antwerp where our cars have been. If that's correct then I should get a 'Compound Out' status update soon.

Sounds like a good idea indeed. If we need assistance we can help each other as we know Ford wont!
