Rum* 04 May 2000 10:47 PM

OK....so we've all seen and commented on the thread advising that 10 P1's were spotted on a transporter heading somewhere around Derby....now the question are "where are they now?....where did they go?....who's got them?....and more to the point...where are the rest of them??????

Poor ol Rums bored of driving this sweet little black Fiat Punto 75 SX and wants a Scoob again!!!...

Ian Cook 04 May 2000 10:56 PM

Spoke to someone in the west midlands that received his a couple of days ago http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Rum* 04 May 2000 11:00 PM

Ian Cook 04 May 2000 11:01 PM

Sorry Rum http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Rum* 04 May 2000 11:04 PM

What I want to know is when are they coming south ?????????
I to have been waiting far to long – I hope its going to be worth the wait. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

PhilHulse 05 May 2000 09:13 AM

Ditto to that. The worrying thing is I'm getting used to driving a beat up Astra and thinking is it really a good idea to fork out £31500 on a piece of metal on 4 wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonesy 05 May 2000 01:10 PM

Was in my dealer's (Fenny Compton Warwickshire))last saturday and they has two P1's ready for collection. Looked great - wheels look a lot better than pictures I'd seen. Salesman said he could probably source one if I wanted, but seeing as I've only had mine for 6 months, and I need four doors, decided against.

Jonathan 05 May 2000 01:53 PM


Mines coming Monday

Where are you getting yours from?

D Brown 05 May 2000 03:11 PM

There's one around the corner from my work, here in (hot & sunny) Aberdeen. It seems to have been sourced from F F F F Fiskens of F F F F Forfar (excuse the s s s stutter). I think I first saw it last Wednesday (26th). And very nice it looks too, except for the teeny weeny spots, which look daft (IMHO of course, as a non-Scooby driver).

Rum* 05 May 2000 03:32 PM

OK...so everyones getting theirs....EXCEPT ME!!!

Rums not a happy chappy!!!

*moves away sulking, sucking thumb*

Bah Hum Bug...thats what I say...

leaskc 05 May 2000 03:41 PM

Rum - you're not alone

I haven't got a date for mine, either

...and I put my order in on the day they were announced

Cameron

JohnH#2 05 May 2000 03:46 PM

I haven't either but at least the dealer is lending me a car until it turns up. Currently driving a rented Daewoo Matiz....3 cylinders and 760cc...looks sh1t, drives sh1t but quite nice rumbly sort of V6 engine note.

Hurry up!!!!!!

John

AlastairB 05 May 2000 03:56 PM

Not got mine either.....

Despite putting the order in on the day they were announced as well....

I'm reasonably hopeful of the next two weeks or so given that they seem to be making their way out to dealers now, but I guess it just depends where my dealer is in the queue...

Cheers
Alastair

blubs 05 May 2000 04:14 PM

JohnH#2,

760cc with a nice v6 type engine note eh?

I think yours should be the next P1 delivered mate http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Unless of course it's too late!!

blubs.

ps can I have a go? Can I? Can I though? (repeat to fade)

JohnH#2 05 May 2000 04:48 PM

Am very happy with the box on lego wheels. The steering wheel is bigger than the road wheels! Very nice blue LCD clock. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/confused.gif

Get those transporters to Hertfordshire....quick http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

PhilHulse 05 May 2000 04:51 PM

Wouldn't it be interesting to keep a tab on:
a)How many of us on the BBS are waiting for their P1
b)When it was ordered
c)When they are delivered
d)From which dealer

any comments?

Phil

Stuart Knight 05 May 2000 04:56 PM

My mate spotted a transporter full of P1's outside SGT at Taplow this morning from the train!

rob barron 05 May 2000 05:06 PM

Called my dealer this afternoon to see if he had any news.
But alas – BUGGER all news http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif and still can’t give me a date either. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/mad.gif

But what he did say is that they normally don’t get a call to say when they are being delivered, they just turn up. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

I to like Cameron have had one on order since they were first announced – still I’m glad I didn’t have to put a deposit down. Just think of all the interest the dealers must be collating from the people that have put down deposits. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Looking forward to another week of waiting for a phone call to say my P1’s arrived – NOT

Rob Barron

leaskc 05 May 2000 05:25 PM

ah well

at least things are moving now (at last)

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Jonathan 05 May 2000 06:30 PM

Mines coming from Adams in Aylesbury. They are dropping two off there, so onwards to a nearby dealer ?. From what Ive heard they are concentrating on getting each dealer two. So if your in the top two at your dealers, it should be soon. Loads more spoilers to fit next week !. After that ?
My dealer doesnt know when they will get the next lot.

I saw a dealer ad the other day saying "P1 in the showroom come and have a look".

Pretty certain it was Hawco Inverness, give em a buzz and see if it's for sale.

Regards.

rsquire 06 May 2000 01:58 AM

Sheesh Guys

there was one at Knockhill last week and it looked like ****e and was soooo slow around the track http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

PhilHulse 06 May 2000 09:12 AM

My dealer also states that they don't get any prior warning of deliveries, they just turn up on a transporter out of the blue. If I treated my clients like this I wouldn't be in business very long. How did Subaru do so well in the J.D.Power surveys?

Rum* 06 May 2000 09:31 AM

I agree with Phil....

Spoke to my dealer yesterday afternoon - he thought by the 15th!!! I don't think its the dealers fault - like you have all stated Subaru seem to just deliver.

It would benice tho if Subaru kept everyone a little more informed...

Maybe give people a set date - at least we'd all know what was happening then.

Phil - re your comments about finding out how people are waiting - maybe we should start a thread??!!

In fact I might just do that now


stuartl 06 May 2000 12:19 PM

MY P1 arrived at Showells Garages, Lye West Midlands, Thursday going to view it tommorrow....yipeeeeee

PhilHulse 06 May 2000 07:06 PM

Rum,
Good man!

Gordon Philip 06 May 2000 07:43 PM

S55 DVM
Yer quite right, Hawco had two P1s, both sold but further north in Beauly(my dealer),Aird Motors have sold their two and await arrival of a further two. Sadly none are staying in the area. FURTHEST NORTH SO FAR!
