New R400 Delivery Delay.

[Pugsey]

So, my nice, shiney, new R400 is built. Hooray! No SVA slot. Boo!!!! When I'll get her is anyone's guess.

"Build" delay or "SVA" delay?...

SVA. I do know that it's sitting there fully built. When I heard about the delay my first cynical thought was the same as yours obviously!

[Pugsey]

Went through SVA successfully on Sat. apparently. Picking her up this Sat. or following Monday!

Subirg - how goes it with yours?

Great news Pugsey, hope your week passes quickly.

Thanks! I seriously doubt it will!

Pugsey - mine is ready too! Am aiming to pick up on Saturday early afternoon! Look out for a mean looking R400 in Viper Blue with White Stripe. What colour's yours? Might see you there?!

Well done matey! Sadly it looks as if we'll miss each other - I'm probably going to struggle with Sat. and have to go on Mon. instead. Look out for mine - Mango with carbon nose band and wings - and don't get finger marks on it please! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the weather on Sat. for you. Enjoy!

[subirg]

Too bad you won't be there. I'll be sure to check yours out and report back on how much better mine is :-) !!! Can't wait. Weather forecast looks ok for now - fingers crossed! Not long to wait now...

Came across a copy of this article in my in-tray at work, a review in EVO some time back when I almost took the plunge in the R400 market.

Note the spec of the car at that time……

Cosworth engine
Roller barrels
Dry sump

How CC have moved the goal posts to save a load of dosh

Know where you're coming from matey but, know what? - having just driven home in my shiney new R400 I couldn't give a stuff - in the nicest possible way!

Well? Is it good? How big is the grin factor? Is your licence still intact?
Tell all - I could use some cheerful news having blown my CSR engine at Spa...

Bad luck mate. Read my seperate topic for initial VERY early thoughts having only got the car this morning! Buggeration - now it's pouring!
