I hope you checked outside for it… when I called at the weekend I was told it wasn’t going to be there until Jan even though it was sat outside the doorTurned up at Jemca Bracknell this morning at the appointed time for my long-awaited GR86 testdrive, only to be told that Jenca Reading had my car.
So as not to completely waste my time I stole their GR Supra (2.0l) and took that for a quick spin instead. What a nice - if totally unaffordable - car that is!

I’ve not heard a peep even though my car will be arriving in Portbury this weekend. Will give St Albans a ring today I think.

Such a massive disparity of customer service between dealers. Glad it's going well for some of you!
I'm trying to get hold of the Gillingham car has anyone had any luck? Waiting for a call back at the moment.

Obviously not very busy today
I did get an email confirming my drive tomorrow (unlike when I turned up on Monday and it was blocked in) so I'm hopeful it might go ahead this time

Hope to get a phone call soon then. My nominated dealer is Wakefield, but due to the dealer driver training it will be done via Leeds anyways.
Do you have a date for your car yet?
I had a test drive provisionally booked with them for today, but they called me in the morning that the car is not registered yet. As I was in the area anyway I popped in there, had a nice chat and sat in the car etc. I was told that the car should be ready tomorrow, and that the salesman responsible for it is off until tomorrow as well, so I think it‘s likely the reason why you didn‘t hear yet.
I just noticed number plates are different to these posted by @Conscript !
edit: just checked, it’s already taxed on dvla

I believe @cakper was hoping to test drive with them today.
EDIT: look up. That will serve me right for quoting posts without reading the rest of the thread first
So they have two demonstrators then?

Anyone here local to Peterborough and know whether they've got their demo yet? Emailed my sales contact about a test drive and the additional spoiler, and have heard nothing! No hurry as I'm still in Order Processing, but I'd love to see one in the flesh! 
I drove the white demo in Lincoln yesterday, photo showing registration attached here for the list.
The road conditions were not the best so didn’t really push it round the corners. I could tell it was one of those cars I’ll be able to build confidence in as it is obviously far more capable than I’m used to in a Ranger with BFG All Terrain tyres, I expect the same tail happy behaviour off roundabouts if pushed!
I think I’ll be taking it to a track day to explore the limits.
The interior was better than expected considering the negative reviews but the hopes of finding any legroom in the back were quickly dashed when I adjusted the drivers seat. My 6 and 9 year olds will have to have heels on seats if they are both in the back. Supposedly my car is due for delivery to the dealer on next Friday (2nd December as others have said).

Maybe they put the wrong plates on the first time?I believe @cakper was hoping to test drive with them today.

Didn't see a second one, to be honest.

Missed the email on Tuesday stating the hull John roe car is ready for test drives so I called them and booked it in for 2pm today. Can’t wait!
