The lucky 101 have been decided

[Brett James-McCall]

We've been told that the 101 people in Europe have been decided... so I guess your mail/phonecall will be on its way if its you. Sadly they haven't told us who they decided on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Here is an update I got from Ford today:

'Thank you for your note requesting an update on progress with the Ford GT. Please be aware that we are still finalising the allocation of cars, but will commence sending out notes to let you know whether you have been successful or not in the next week or so.

Regards,

Team RS '


So, there's still hope!

Another month passes - confirmation dates seem as flexible as production dates - stil holding my breath !

 

[Jos]

Rejected !

 

sorry to hear

sorry to hear, josvdp. you should look into importing one. the good news is that with the USD so beaten down, your local currency can probably go a long long way in the US.

Re: sorry to hear

Mr Doody,
Hate to spoil the party, but a US GT will not pass homologation/SVA here in Europe, there are few teaks having to be made... apparently.

Re: sorry to hear

Did Mr Clarkson get one?

 

Re: sorry to hear

brett - is it not akin to bringing a Euro car into the US? just a matter of money for tweaks - and not a ton, at that (relatively speaking).

or is the UK particularly wildly-restrictive about this sort of thing? which would be a shame.

Re: sorry to hear

Mr Doody, Unfortunatley, it is not as easy as that. They are having to re-engineer certain parts (allegedly).

Re: sorry to hear

I have just received my official rejection letter as well /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. They said they had over 1,000 applications for the handful of cars that will make it to the UK.

Re: sorry to hear

You guys have GT40s, what do you want with that overgrown, overweight, shadow of a GT40? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Shame they are allowed to pick their customers, seems odd. At least offer them to everyone and allow the market prices to sort them out.

Ah, but you see, they are not selling cars here, they are hiring evangelists. People who will be good ambassadors for the Ford brand. It's not about how much money they can make selling a GT, but how much money the GT can make selling Ford...

Re: sorry to hear

Ah-ha! So that's it! Now it all becomes clear...

 

[Chris E]

Re: sorry to hear

Well, my rejection letter hasn't arrived yet so here's hoping!

 

[Chris E]

Re: sorry to hear

Got my rejection letter too today.

What am I going to do with that great big bundle of cash now!

( Couldn't find a 'dream bubble' on the icon list to insert here!! )

 

Re: sorry to hear

Buy an RF Chris!!

Go on, you know you want to

Re: sorry to hear

Can't afford it Rick - unless you'll swap one for my KVA!!

Clarkson may have had to bulls**t to get his, but no more than I did on my application form. I'd have to sell my house to raise that sort of money so there was never any hope of seeing one on my drive even if I had been offered one.
