Why does it take 8 weeks to build an Falcon??

RANT ON

I did a deal on the 24/8/08 for an FG XR8 ute. Nothing special, fully stock except for the sports pack (18s,Ipod and Bluetooth). At the time I was told to expect delivery around the 3rd week of September (ie: NOW)... That got pushed out last week to 29/9/08, which was annoying but liveable. Today I dropped into the dealership to organise the paperwork for the finance. I was unable to do so as they could not provide a VIN number as Fraud had not even started to build the damm thing!!

Now I'm getting told that delivery will not be until mid October (if I'm lucky..) I f@#king blew up deluxe! I got told by the dealer that "apparently" Ford are closing down for a week after the October long weekend... These idiots have retrenched workers as they have nothing for them to do, close down at random times, etc,etc... I've got something for them to do. BUILD MY CAR!!

No wonder the monthly sales figures are rubbish. You can't get the idiots to actually get around to building them!! I'm not blaming the guys on the factory floor, it's the pencilpricks that manage them...

I told the dealer that if I don't have my ute by the end of next week, he can shove the deal up his **** and I'm off to Holden to by a VE SS!!!
