Not to burst your bubble, but...are you *sure* your car is on that boat? Keep in mind that the order the cars are being sent over is NOT always the order in which they were ordered.adamant said:
Steve Harris Imports update(Utah)
I thought I would make this a new thread as it appears that everything else here has been Hijacked. Now that I have said that this one is probably destined to the same fate. 
I think everyone (including me) is delirious with the total anticlimax of customer deliveries.
Anyway dateline 30th July 2005:
Talked to the dealership yesterday. It appears that the ship in the Panama Canal last week has 3 cars for delivery to Salt Lake City. This is 1 demo car (non LSS) and the first two customers cars (both LSS cars!). The ship is supposed to be in port sometime today for delivery in approximatly 15 days. Hopefully the delay in docking has now been resolved. As this dealer has probably one of the longest delivery paths I thought it would be of more general interest to know the delivery dates.and that cars ARE coming! (LSS included!!)
Fortunately, I was only bumped one spot in the end by Ferrari owner(s) so my car should arrive from mid to late August.
I can't put into words how excited I am! My wife thinks I have gone insane. After 2 years waiting (it feels like three years since january !!) , my car will finally arrive in less than a month. Before September wooooohooooo!!
Chanting in my Avatar must have worked
Adamant. CO LSS noTouring HT and port installed Saran Wrap.
BTW anyone else been drooling at those Radical SR3's?

Could be worse. If you are in Hawaii, the cars get fully unloaded in California. Processed. Loaded back into a container and onto another ship bound for Hawaii.

LOL Yes I guess I should have said contiguous continental US
Oh and *YES* I am as sure as anyone can be. I should add that Steve Harris have been upfront and honest all along the wait. Everything they have ever said so far has been correct. I would promote them further here, but I have been asked not too as more than half their orders are now from out of state. I will add that I have been on their waitlist for a little over 2 years now and not until this past February would they actually accept a deposit from me.The information supplied to me from them is of course from the information that is supplied to them from Lotus.

If it makes you feel any better, this appears to be common - Lotus is NOT building the cars in the order we all expect them to (the order of the lists). I'm a victim of that, too.adamant said:

The #8 car is CO/LSS/Touring HT.
Mine is the same except for No Touring.
I can't believe there is any explanation other than maybe they put the insulation on by mistake
then found another place to fill.Thanks for listening though, I needed to vent
Hey Ryan, you are #2 not #3, not that it means anything any more. Sorry to hear about the rush sale, that's a real bummer! Ours were the two cars that were supposedly here. Have you driven one yet? Maybe we'll finally meet this Xmas when the cars show up
I can't remember if you said or not but did you order touring?

Well I hope your right but I don't think there is a chance in hell that they will be here until mid September now
The two that are here will get to Harris' maybe by the end of Aug.
So you ordered Touring, well that blows my theory. Maybe the factory just puts the customers names in a hat and draws a few out each week because it certainly makes no sense at all!!

I hope at least they are on a boat
Sure, but the boat is probably bound for the east coast.adamant said:I hope at least they are on a boat
Are my posts starting to sound bitter ?
I certainly hope so. If not I need to work on my writing skills.
Hope I'm wrong about that east coast thing.

I think you have the sarcasm adjusted about right To be honest I am having doubts if our cars are even built
I am trying hard not to actually post too much adverse commentary but it is becoming crystal clear why a company with so many innovations over several decades is still the size of a 2 year old start-up company
Even with the dealership on my side, I am not likely to find anything about my car until the dealership is invoiced. They invoiced once the car is on a truck from CA (i.e. about 48hours notice).
On my next day off I will try and extract something from LCUSA, but I am not holding my breath.
