Allllll the Nicoles past and future can collectively kiss my whole ass lol!

Pretty sure our cars are so light they float. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol. Y'all are killing me. Killing me. Based on the previous shenanigans with parts delays then the one big thing that set me back months again, here's what I expect the ship to do. Lol Still excited for my car! IMG_4057.MOV

No worries about taking anything wrong. I have 1,586 days to retire and so much going on at work night and day and outside of work I'd never, ever get a whole car stuck together, even one as simple and elegant as a 7. Perhaps when I retire I'll get my hands on a kit, or become a dealer myself, who knows? 🥴🧠👾 haha Watch out @BruceBe lol

Lol what's VAT? Jk very familiar. No, I don't pay VAT. Not directly anyway. (I think it's not required cause my car is an export outside the EU, but I could be wrong) but don't worry, even without it I paid plenty for this fast bathtub with wheels. Plenty. The heart wants what the heart wants. As does the right foot. Lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same. Also damnit @Croc lol

Damnit @Croc lol!

Ordered June 6, 2021. Seems so long ago (cause it was). Seems the wait time for new orders is even longer now (without my extra extra delays, I mean). According to folks I know who are in the know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would die. Hurricane season lol. That stress. I. Would. Die.

My thumb is sore from refreshing the app. Hahaha

Lololol

Update: She's on a boat. Allegedly. Lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's simply tOoOoOo many cars. I also have... others. Lol. Bewildering array, I agree. Anywho, when/if I get my 7, I'll be parking it in the downstairs linen closet. Lol. One Toyota will be on the roof. The other Yota in my neighbors pool for safe keeping. (Yeah it's too too many cars, I know it. I really do. Just *had* to grab this thing. It's clean like showroom clean, and I got a *deal* and it ticks a massive box for me and we're all running outta time, by days and decades, all the clocks keep ticking, except the one in my BMW weirdly lol.) Convo from my house tonight... Wife: this is the last car, right? Me: of course... But I do know a guy with a DB2 project. C'mon down/up/over and we'll rip some mountain roads in whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fun fact, for those still paying attention to this absolutely beleaguering tale of hurry up and wait, I have a tiny update. @BruceBe (my hero) has it on good authority my violently violet CSR will be on a ship on or about Nov 5, and will got American shores Nov 14! Huzzah. Really, HUZZAH! Also yesterday at the intersection of boredom and bucket list I somehow bought a pristine 2 owner 1995 Acura NSX. So, yeah, I'm a happy chappy! Also if my wife or her lawyers ask it cost $12,995, tax title and tags. Lol.

Lol I work for all y'all, and I'm kinda good at it, some days, allegedly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not being snarky at all @Vovchandr, but who does that is people with money who want what they want NOW. In my head the last couple years I've been toying with the idea of what I call the "Right Now" tax. And I've seen people do exactly what you're talking about. Pay way more than they should cause they want IT (whatever it is) NOW and supply chains have bogged everything down. Happy to hear other theories, but I really think in some cases were seeing examples of people happily paying the Now Tax. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bruuuuuuce! I thought you were to cool for the internet. Hahaha Whatever you do don't read all my posts and see how much smack I've talked about you lol! (For the record to anyone thinking of jumping in a 7, @BruceBe has demystified the process at every turn, logistically, actively, masterfully). This is not a sales thing, I'm not a buddy just fake pumping him up, I've still never met him in person, though I assume one day I will but the west coast is soooooo far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm just a happy customer, glad to have him doing the heavy lifting.

So I had a call today with Bruce. (Beachman Racing). Seems my car may really, truly, actually be ready to be picked up from Caterham Cars on October 10th to head to the coast and await shipping to the USA. I'm hoping it is complete and whole and has no further surprise delays as I am more than ready to have her home in my garage. Here's hoping that if/when it is picked up this coming Monday I will get some sort of confirmation. We shall see. I'm beyond excited, as I have been for quite a while, to finally see in person what the folks at Caterham have been working so hard to build me. 😈🤪💪😈👍

Pretty excited about my Arch!

Miniscule!!

I'm telling ya, I'll likely never order a brand new car again. It's the first time I've ever done so. Been an experience, to say the least. Be very, very happy to get my lil machine. 😈💪😜

Thanks John. Very, very hopeful that after all the sideways delays, the stops and starts, then the backing up and starting again that Caterham and everyone else involved makes this bit of the process as smooth as possible. In my head I'm now plotting a freezing Christmas blat for myself. Lol.

Allegedly my car will be ready to be picked up from Caterham Cars October 10th. Of course as usual not entirely sure if that means October 10th of *this year* or some unknown year in the future lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ From then I guess it wanders to the coast, gets packed on to a barge, them starts wandering westwards towards the east coast here. My best guess is I'll either be in it for cold mountain blats by Christmas or my future grandchildren will stand around it long after I'm gone wondering why I bought a car so violently purple. Either way, I'm crazy excited.

Lol good. I do like standing out.

Yeah here's the thing. Factory has only painted 2 this color thus far. Press car in England and mine (US bound eventually maybe perhaps). Here's the other thing:. I'm never, ever gonna roll up to a stoplight in the same exact car as anyone. Ever. Maybe my mommy didn't hug me enough lol. Plus I love the color.
