Bloody Rail Strike...

I'm due to pick up my Fez on the 7th April in Chesterfield. Got my train tickets booked ready to go collect it all the way from London.

My dad's just informed me that there's a rail strike from the 6th-9th so therefore no trains :/

Just emailed my dealer, hopefully I can pick it up next Wednesday! But it only came in the country the other day and isn't registered yet, so might not be ready :( Grrrr!!!!

    After the trains of torture, you must pass through a RING OF FIRE on a moped!

    Then you can have your keys :P

    All I can say is ... it will be worth the wait

    I;m not 100% sure if the car got in the country yesterday or a few days before...

    How long do all the dealer tests take? Think it'd be ready by this coming Wednesday? I'd rather get it earlier than expected as opposed to later...

    My dealer got my car ready in less than 24 hours from it arriving at the dealership! So if they want it gone, they can work fast when they want to...

    I agree, as long as they have the car by Monday and nothing goes awry then there's no reason why they couldn't have it ready by Weds afternoon/evening.
