Got the call from Park Place in Washington to confirm my order as they received a request to put in the next batch.

I'm more than excited.....I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This was my first call from the dealer after having a deposit down since Nov. 2002. Got the call from Dave Duncan.:clap: :clap:

As a customer, I really appreciated the call and I hope David doesn't get upset for me posting my excitement.

FYI....#40 on their list, expecting car sometime in May 05.

Now, if we could just convince the factory to paint all the chrome orange cars before Christmas!

I would wish you luck with the Krypton, but can't really talk since I'm going with Chrome Orange, Tour, Hardtop. Haven't seen Krypton in person, but so far no color looks bad.

Now I have to decide.....ship the car out to NoVa or drive it out with a pit stop in Chicago for the 1K check-up. At least I have 8 months to decide.

I just moved to NoVA. Lived in Washington my whole life, so I did go with my local dealer at the time. Had the opportunity to be in the top 5 at either Salt Lake or Scottsdale because they were not taking deposits until beg. of 2003, but I figured lotus would fill orders in the order of deposits.

PP got a low allocation.......but there was no way to know this would happen 2 years ago.

I'm just glad my order is back with the factory.

Yep, I'm glad I stayed with PP too. Would rather get a car in the spring than this winter.

I also understand a May build date means a June or July delivery date. That just means I'll have better weather to drive across the country!

Yea, I've been out here since March. This summer wasn't that bad, although I've heard it was relatively mild this summer.

That's why I got the hard top!
