View Full Version : At Dealer Today!!!!!
ploszek 10-23-2003, 11:02 AM Just talked to my dealer, on the off chance of getting a delivery date, and he said my car had arrived at the dealership this afternoon!!!!!!!! Apparently he was as gobsmacked as I was and a bit upset as no one had done any work there cos they were all over the car.
Apparently, he doesn't think he will be allowed to release it to me for about 10 days until Mazda UK and Swansea have sorted out all the paperwork, but I'm chuffed - might just go down there on Saturday so I can oogle it as well.
Woo Yay!!!:D
Goes slighty against what we have be hearing. Can only presume that some of our cars came over with the demos!?

AndyPearce 10-23-2003, 11:08 AM Congrats mate - when you go down take a digital camera with you and take a picture of the first owners car that we know of. :)
RX-Late 10-23-2003, 11:12 AM Congrats! The first members car!
ploszek 10-23-2003, 11:13 AM Got burgled a while back and my camera has yet to be replaced. Just a chance it will arrive tomorrow, but if not I'll "borrow" one from work. Due to burglary, not online at home at the mo either, so you might have to wait until Moday for a pic. Sorryyyyy
Pillman 10-23-2003, 11:42 AM I live in Surrey, can I drive you to your dealer and hug the car..?
Congrats about your car...however, I am surprised this thread has not generated more of a response..There are dozens of RX8's ordered way before yours...!!
Murphy 10-23-2003, 11:45 AM Congratulations! Great news!
Pics are a must.. Monday at the latest! ;)
oilman 10-23-2003, 12:12 PM You Lucky.....................................!!!!!!!! !

Camera pictures - Monday
Paper + Pencil + Skill - Friday? :)
mr_digital_uk 10-23-2003, 12:23 PM If this is true it is EXCELLENT news. Well done and really looking forward to a photo of the first RX8 owner in the UK :)
If I were you, I would take a sicky tomorrow and go hug your baby.
MarkW 10-23-2003, 01:33 PM Congrats!! Looks like you're the first. :)
I wonder if anyone else's car will turn up early unnannounced............
ploszek 10-23-2003, 01:53 PM If it helps to put the order of deliveries together, mine is black, hi power with no leather, sat nav or moonroof. My guess is that it is all random and I'm just a lucky b*****d! I trust I won't be alone for long and some others are in for some good news too. Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of you.
Stu C 10-23-2003, 04:21 PM Hey Ploszek, congrats!!!!!!:D
And as for the burglary thing, I know where you are at. I was burgled a bout 1 month ago and am still awaiting the insurance companies approval for replacemment of stuff.
Anyway, yahay!
Stu C (jealous);)
thepenn 10-23-2003, 04:34 PM Fantastic news mate. Can't really believe it!
Better take a tent and basher up.
Maybeeee... Mazda are turning the corner and being ultra conservative in delivery times now?
Hurry up with the pics!:) :) :) :)
Titanium Grey 10-23-2003, 04:47 PM Well your one lucky SOB!:)
P.S. As your RX-8 has now arrived in the country can you please send in your RX-8 owners club membership fee. Otherwise we may have to come and confiscate your car.:D :D :D :D :D
Alessandro 10-23-2003, 05:05 PM Seem like Asia, Oceania, North America and Africa (one SA owner on the board) got theirs before Europe did, anyway congrats on the 8...
JohnnyCumLately 10-23-2003, 05:45 PM So they won't let you have your car for then days; fair enough you want them to be trained before the PDI etc. but get down there as soon as you can and make a note of the mileage, and make sure they see you. Temptation is a terrible thing for mechanics.
Seems that Ploszek isn't the only one.
I've just looked on Autotraders website and a Mazda dealer is selling a Titanium highpower with 10 miles on the clock for £23,500 and it doesn't mention leather.
morganrogers 10-24-2003, 02:08 AM What the ....?
If true - well done to you (sorry , I am a natural sceptic) !
Bummer that you cannot have it for 10 days or so though...
Get down there and note that mileage !
It's starting to happen and I dont even want to know when you ordered ;)
Congratulations Ploszek:D
You've set one record on the euro forum, but now for the big question; who is gonna be first to have the keys in their hand?
(always bet on black)
AnilS 10-24-2003, 03:06 AM Kef - Passenger 57!!!!:D
Ploszek - congrats on your car. Don't let the dealer display it in the showroom, as you'll have all kinds of low life coming in a prodding your baby. Where was your dealer again?:D

ploszek 10-24-2003, 03:24 AM Hi all - my replacement film camera has arrived so photos will be forthcoming. Will still try to "borrow" the work digi camera to speed things up for you.
Ten day delay suits me fine at the mo, as I was still working on Mazda UK's conservative dates for organising my money. Besides, a bit of mechanic training in the mean time will not go amiss either. My Girlfriend is now distraught at the idea of letting the MX5 go - but then again, she shed a tear for the 10yr old Punto I dumped to get the MX5. They just don't understand - do they!

Anils - your link gives away your postcode - not sure you wanted to give that out.
AnilS 10-24-2003, 10:19 AM Andy its someone elses postcode now. I moved 3 years ago.
AnilS.:p
Jon H 10-27-2003, 02:36 PM Looks like they are coming through thick and fast now - mine arrived today at Coventry Mazda! My dealer is going to pull out the stops to try and get the car on my front drive for Friday (31st)! The race is on....
Going to pay a visit Tuesday with documents, etc. and will take my digital camera. Anyone interested in seeing a UK black HP watch this space - although last time I tried to post photos I failed miserably.
By the way, the system dates look even more random now - mine was set for 22nd (arrived 27th), on the same day another arrived with a date of 29th!! But it sounds like some fair sized batches are moving now so hopefully you guys will see yours soon and dont be surprised if it arrives before the system date!
