Ok i found out the whole story now...

Rang the dealer and the young lady in stock control said

1. I have a VIN # but no engine number. This is because the car is not finished production but is scheduled for production.
2. The production schedule is for Week 3 of Jan. On the print out that I got it says Prod Week : 3/1/08 which means 3rd week. I misread it as saying 3rd of Jan 08 and therefore 1st week production.
3. Typically it takes 1 week to build the car and another week to get it onto the ship.

If there is a ship leaving on the 20 Jan 08, then its most unlikely that mine will be on that one given that its build is only supposed to start on the week begining the 14 Jan 08.

4. You cannot track the actual production of the car on line. The only way to do see where things are at is to ask the dealer to check on the status.

5. The only tracking you can do by yourself is the shipping.

SO.....the waiting game continues....

One thing I noticed on my options list other than the mysterious 413 Auto Mirr thingy is that it lists the YSpoke 214 wheels. I know I ticked the 211 wheels because that's whats on the Offer to Purchase Invoice.

For now I will just wait and see what I get because,

If the 214's are on the car then thats great because I was leaning towards changing that option anyway but couldn't.

If the 211's arrive on the car then I'll live with it because thats what I ordered.
