I've been feeling about fed up lately with my car originally slated to be delivered in the first month or so of 2007, and here it is damn near Halloween and it's still not shipped. So I posted on Blatchat about my plight, without giving any names or specifics just yet, and I asked the shipper to give them a "nudge", and I sent a polite yet strongly worded e-mail to the builder, and I left him a phone message, and I requested various acquaintances that side of the pond to pester my builder to SHIP MY FUGGIN' CAR! Hey, presto, they now say it should ship this week. Of course, they have told me that before (did somebody say "Wolf"?), but if I had to guess, I would say that I think it is real this time, and I think it was the shipper that convinced them. His e-mail was much stronger than the one I sent, with talk of ever-increasing fuel surcharges, and how the customer (me) paid months ago... stuff like that.
Anyway, my car may or may not be shipping in the next week or two. Wish me luck. I'm off to Yokohama for two weeks of vacation, and with any luck I may have a car to finish building when I return.
