surely though the dealer should have called you to let you know, they must've known before today ?

I'm in the same boat but different car (WRX wagon) promissed 1/9 del by dealer now it's don't know when! Dealer told me that Subaru don't give concrete delivery dates. Car supposedly is on a delivery truck somewhere in the U.K. Not a very happy chappy at mo. additional to this my first scooby so you can imagine my dissapointment.

I can confirm that the Subaru Dealer in Leicester told me that the delivery date on the computer is not a cast-iron guaranteed date as the logistics company in the UK take over at some point and after that its wait and see

however mine turned up the day they said ..... sorry!

Another silver - how common (I think there are 4/5 silver STi8s on the BBS).

Hope you enjoy it and get the first 1000 miles out of the way quickly - well not over 4000rpm quick!!
