So they are wider and only Schumacher makes the wider tire and rim sets. If they're good enough for Moss they're good enough for me:thumbsup:

so theres not much else that would be good to get ordered ready for when the car arrives other than a set of tyres?

I've had an email from Schumacher today saying 1-2 weeks for the pro version and 3-4 weeks for the race (S1?) version.

I'll have it when I have it then. Time to prep the SX and XX

I know it's tough to wait, and I am among the very lucky few, BUT, this car is worth the wait:thumbsup:

Again I'd echo the comments of DC, the car is awesome and will do very well at the National this weekend. It is worth the wait, believe me :thumbsup:

mikeyscott 13-04-2010 05:37 PM

Indeed makes the wait more worth while. In the mean time I'll build another XX to sell on.

No need to build it.......just flog it now:thumbsup: the cougar is coming!!!

mikeyscott 13-04-2010 05:43 PM

I have about 5 of them and my XXCR isn't going anywhere!

mikeyscott 13-04-2010 05:56 PM

How long does it take to build etc?

Some retailers have indicated they are getting the pre ordered Cougars this Thursday, Friday.

So fingers crossed and good luck :)

I don't understand it. What have changed now? Yesterday news were they will have it available for 1-2 weeks (10-14 days) for CF version.
Does anyone know the reason for this delay and date changes?

Which is you source Mike? I can't wait more :drool:

Dones any "C" Team driver have the car yet? Will they get it at same time as dealers?

mikeyscott 14-04-2010 09:49 AM

The retailer basically said it was pre-ordered kits.

I don't have anymore info. Contact you LHS if in doubt. I get the feeling that Schumacher is supplying it's retailers before it starts selling them direct. Which makes perfect sense.

Let's say Schumacher make 100 kits and each retailer has pre-ordered 25 and again for an example these are spread across four shops I can see why there will then be a two week lead time in getting more kits ready.

It's all about supply and demand.. Equally Schumacher don't want to make 1000 of them and only sell 200 and have money tied up in stock with the remaining 800.

My bank card has been cloned so I won't be getting one this week anyway now..

One benefit of not getting it straight away is the spares avaliabilty will improve..

Not even all "B" team drivers have this car as I don't have mine.

Cheers.

Cheeky gits used it to top up their O2 mobile with £30!

So I'm laid back about the SV now as I can't get one anyway, so it'll be here when it's here.

Same here. I hope I have it before our national in 2 weeks.
