JAR897 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 MARTY IS ALIVE! It's taken me driving over to the dealership and asking the woman (very fit young woman, lol) who has taken over from my dealer (as he is on holiday) and asking when I can pick it up, but I can do so on FRIDAY 17th JULY! I walked up the drive and saw this shiney Sea Gray Titanium X and looked up at the windscreen only to see SOLD - ROWLEY wrote on it :D I have took some photo's but they are all on facebook so yea lol. I'll put some proper photo's up when I get hold of the car! Just set my 7 day insurance up to start next friday, can't wait now! P.s. Does the PDI install the alloy pedals and scuff plates as they wern't on today?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAR897 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 PDI - Pre-Delivery Inspection. This is the time taken by Ford to fit any accessories (Alloy Pedals / Scuff plates) and vallet the car, as well as checking everyhting is in order! The car was delivered to the dealer on 4th July (Last sat) despite the dealer telling me he didn't know where it was. Oh well, bring on Friday! lol.

paulworthing Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well at least the wait is nearly over . . . . No sleep for you for a week then with all the excitment of getting Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just one question - is it the angle that you took the picture of the front of the car, or the way the sun is catching it, but the front lower grill seems to stick out and I have no noticed this on the Zetec S's that I have seen?

Aitchess Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just one question - is it the angle that you took the picture of the front of the car, or the way the sun is catching it, but the front lower grill seems to stick out and I have no noticed this on the Zetec S's that I have seen? I think that's the splitter - I remember one Zetec S owner complaining that theirs seemed to be missing. Mind you, Marty is a Titanium with full dress-up kit, isn't he? Maybe that makes a difference to the precise configuration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR897 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yea it does stick out slightly, but its aminor thing and I think its the way the sun catches it in the photos. I'm goign back tomorrow to take more piccys lol so Ill take some of that for you lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulworthing Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 hehee - you going to be down there everyday taking pics then - see if you can get some nice side on ones so we can compare them to the other new Titanium in Sea Grey thats on here now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeJex Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Its about time lol, we ordered on the same month but yours definitely looks like it was worth the extra wait! Regarding the scuff plates, my dealer personally put them on for me just to avoid another queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR897 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Lol, I don't think my dealer will be doing that, she (yes SHE) will get her fingernails dirty. Don't blame her either, she is fit. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAR897 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 lol yea the numberplate doesn't do much justice.. but as its a private plate it should still look nice. Why shouldn't they clean it? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 lol yea the numberplate doesn't do much justice.. but as its a private plate it should still look nice.Why shouldn't they clean it? lol. cos they rarely do it properly and Marty will have the addition of swirl marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jma78b Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Its real! Its not a figment of your imagination! It really does exist! This has been a riduclously long time but worth it. I'm still unsure why its taking until Friday to clean it and put some scuff plates on. Really glad for you Jar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR897 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yea so am I JMA. However its so been worth the wait, and im more patient now I know it hasn't fallen into the pacific somewhere. There was a small scuff on the drivers side front pannel, so hopfully they will buff that out. its only about 5 mm long so not a big deal. Also some bird poo on the passanger side, which i cleaned off myself as was unsure as to when they would be valeting it? Any swirl marks left on I will buff out myself, or may take it to a professional valet place soon after I get it! Can't wait to drive home in it from the dealership! Got all my stuff ready (Y cable, fordownersclub decal, taxdisk holder, X for titanium X badge, red bulbs lol. WHOO! Pictures up friday afternoon guys! p.s. There are already 64 pictures on my facebook account so feel free to check them out and comment :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
