Longest waiting time for Type R? - Page 10

paulpj · 2nd November 2007, 20:02

Honda dealer phoned me today to say delivery has now been put back to the 1st week in December

but if I wanted to change the colour for Bronze that was now showing 18th November. My heart is set on NHB so I think I'll wait.

Type R GT NHB.

Wise choice, don't compromise for the sake of 2 weeks. You'd regret it as soon as a NHB one was driven past you.

Good luck with the new car,
The Type R is incredible i waited 16 weeks on mine and i can honestly say it was worth the wait

If you want to see a Milano red with front and rear skirts, i posted pics of mine in the gallery under " Red Type R GT"

Yes like Shademaster says it is well worth the wait, you will love it.

I have had mine for two weeks now and I'm still running it in. I promised myself I would wait until it was run in before I "v-tecced" However I was virtually along side a Leon FX today gently overtaking going up a bank on a dual carriage, when the car in front of him braked to turn left. He didn't look and started to come across into my lane. Fotunately I was just coming out of forth gear so dropped it into 3rd and it absolutely flew past him, he obviously didn't know I was there cos when I looked in my mirror he had sharply pulled back into his lane, bet he had a shock.

I'd forgotten how quick these things really are, the last time I felt it was in the dealers demonstrator back in August.

My wife had a Puma and it was a nice car, but you won't miss it, the CTR is fantastic to drive.

thanks for your replies! very excited now but the dealer seemed confused about what colour to order the skirts in! Love the photos SHADEMASTER!
Our's will be twins!

Well I got a call from the dealer this morning!! Had a choice of it being driven from Bristol to Surrey on Friday this week or trailered next Mon the 19th - call me chicken but I went for the trailer option

Cant wait!!

S18TypeR · 12th November 2007, 23:39

2.30pm Tuesday 13th November... its arrived and being prepared!
Cannot wait!!!

craggyislander · 19th November 2007, 14:18

GOT IT!!!!!

OMG what an incredible car - I love it already and I have only done 15 miles (stuck in work)!!!

Its one hell of a car - don't listen to Clarkson he's talking from his rear end on this. Suspension is firm but certainly not as bad as he was making it out to be!

I think its No. 10488 but will check and post

WOOHOO!!!!

coolio · 19th November 2007, 15:43

Does anyone know what the actual time is for delivery at the moment. I've been told 7 weeks by one dealer, 14 by another.

TTDegs · 19th November 2007, 16:06

nice one craggy!

coolio - no idea sorry

rumours recently were that ordering Rages increased the lead time though (as they did when the CTR first came out)

Depending on where you are, have your checked out the John Pease section in here?

Congratulations, glad to hear JC hasn't spoilt the moment for you. The point is you like it, that's all that matters, I love mine.

I wish I was in this position before Shademaster but unfortunately I suffered like everyone else ( inc other dealers ) with the ridiculous delays & date changes from HUK.
From March until August the delivery date changes were a disgrace but now things seem to be running smoothly

( i hope

)
