Default LWB supply getting better?

My SA just mentioned the restriction on LWB's for the Spyder has been lifted. I wish I would have had him send me a copy but I was very drunk at the time.

On one hand: doh! >.<

On the other hand... This LWB constraint thing is probably why I even had a chance at an allocation...so maybe I should be thankful lol

What would real confirmation that the LWB issue is behind us look like? A build sheet? A dealer comment on RL? I want to know the truth and then push PCNA to see if theres anything I can do..

Same here... As of Monday my order was V210 with buckets.

Even though it looks like I made a minor mistake in my spec I am happy that I swapped my #1 slot for a later build. Expected Oct. (in U.S. ). My dealer's plan was to hold out on spec for my second attempt allocation to keep it from being forced to change seats. Was told last weak that the stop order was lifted, submitted a new spec, and by Monday it was already locked....

We shall see what happens, but I hope to post a very positive review for a dealer, once the keys are in my hands ;-)

How are you V210 with an Oct delivery? Im V250 and I wont see my car till Nov 7th (west coast). If the stop order was lifted and you are going to the shop earlier than I am, I hope I can get my order sorted out...

Looks like I missed it by a few weeks. Still I sometimes wonder if I should hold out for a LWB car, but I intend to use this car significantly on the street, but maybe I'm just justifying taking the allocation.

Not sure... Just passing along what I was told but that was nearly a week ago now. Though, since I was at the track there is always the chance I misheard so I am just going by the paperwork that I was sent. Alternatively, could have something to do with either my allocation held unspeced for some time or maybe even my being on the East coast? Either way, it was noted as a late Oct estimate so it would only be a few days difference in all reality from your build.

Just hope all works out smoothly with no more surprises now.
