I would like to thank Lotus USA for finally shedding some light on my situation.
I was impressed with their honesty and follow through - it restores my faith in Lotus.
Unfortunately it was not the news I was hoping for.
I am number #9 at overseas motors, Dallas. Lotus has accepted orders for the first 8 (bummer) to be built by the end of September. It looks like my car will be built in October (maybe November) so it should arrive between thanksgiving and the end of the year.
Some light was also shed on the mystery cars that turned up at Overseas Motors. I tried to sell Lotus USA on a SharePoint solution that would provide them with an Extranet for all their dealers and notify them as soon as and updates were posted. I even volountered to give free consulting. I hope they think about it
Anyway I am a lot happier knowing something.
Off to test out the Noble GTO -3R on Saturday......
