I've just rang my dealer because he never rings me.

It turns out he's been off sick all week, when my car was suppost to be put under the modifications. It was suppost to be ready today latest for pick up. He told me the mods were begining Tuesday, and i've just been told my was took away by the specialist ONLY yesturday, and they've had to take it away because they have never put a twin exhaust on the before, so they have to design one specificly for me which i guess is a good thing

But, now have to wait till the early part of next week, which is still not an exact date! As they didn't say definetly or anything, they just said probably

I've been waiting months now, i just can't wait anymore! I'm losing my mind

Perhaps you should of took delivery of the standard car first and got it run in before you started messing about with it

Thats really harsh of your dealer. They could have a least phoned and explained the situation to you rather than you having to ring them! Hope you get the car soon. Make sure you post some pics!

It isn't good the way it seems you've been messed about, if not too surprising if they've already got your money off you. TBH, that thing about them being away sick sounds like its prob just an excuse to me. All you can do is keep on hassling them and hopefully they'll get sick of hearing from you and get everything sorted out!!

Surely you would only pay for the car once you have picked it up.

They must call the place Evans Halshaw because the name was from an ancient illness.

And yeah, spot on they are always ill, if it's not the person i deal with then it's the finance man, if it's not the finance man it's the modification man. And i have no doubt that it'll be the maintenace/service man in a year or so

It should be this Wednesday, because have got nothing else to do. There just putting it all together this week, after the designing and painting was done this week just gone. So fingers crossed badly i'll have it this week. plz!

And i was refering to when i take it in for service that that guy will pretend to be off sick so he doesn't have to do anything
