Saratoga Sunroof - Bulk-Buy

Mikebarry202 said:
Apologies, I wanted to send a more detailed update last night but didn't get the chance.

anwyway, this is the response by email from Nick:

"I am constantly chasing the guys in the states, the situation is that the screens are done and awaiting shipping but it's taken them such a long time to organise the shipment its unreal, im rather embarrassed by it to be honest this should have been a simple stock sale from one Pilk site to another and due to multiple issues its become close to a debacle. Im waiting for the shipping guy over there to confirm the situation when he gets in today which will be our time late this afternoon. When he confirms a delivery date ill come back to Tom and he can communicate it out to you all on the forum, at that point ill issue all of the orders on our system and get them going."

i thanked him him for the update and stressed we are itching for them. In my opinion they are still on the cards so let's hope it won't be a "full year"

Glad you got a reply, I have sent two e mails and heard nothing back from either of them, this was the last reply I got.

Hi Scott,



They are leaving the factory this week finally.

Sorry no idea about the tint, they are a very dark tint I believe.



Regards

Nick

 
Hello all.

Well this has been an interesting 8 months hasn't it?!

To all the Saratoga believers amongst you I have 2 things to say:

1. Please accept my apologies. In March my wife gave birth to my daugher and since then I have struggled more and more to spend time on the car or be involved in this group buy. I also decided that after the 20th e-mail to Nick where I received the same response of "nowt I can do chum" (or words to that effect) I should probably just sit and be patient (and attend to the little one too!). Sorry for not being able to update you all more but it would just be the same old message.

2. Today I am not delivering the same old message. THEY HAVE ARRIVED! [:D] 40 of them (hopefully all in one piece) are currently in a crate in Reading waiting to be checked and paid for. I received an unsolicited phone call from a rather relieved sounding Nick earlier today!

Nick has asked me to confirm the details of who is placing orders so I am going through this thread (which in a rather tragic way I have missed quite a lot!) to work out who's dropped out etc. Those who have e-mailed me to say that they have dropped out have been removed already.

To all the non-believers..... [:'(]

Ironic that it's currently chucking it down with rain today....

 
Good lord, I had to sit down. I thought these were always going to be a kin to hen's teeth.Quite looking foward to it now and it will spur me on to get the sunroof working again.

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]Sorry for publishing your actual first names (sorry Oli, I did it again....but your secrets are all safe because I cleverly only put the first letter of your last name!). If your name is on the list and you don't want it to be....let Nick know...or just don't respond to the e-mail when it arrives.[/font]

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]There are total of 35 roofs, 37 at a push (allowing for breakages form the full order of 40 units) meaning there are 4-6 going spare (if they had just packaged 37 better we wouldn't have had to wait for the last 3 to be made ironically!).[/font]

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]So, to those that still want roofs and haven't put your name on the list I suggest you do one of the following:[/font]

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]1. Follow the original instructions to place an order thus getting your name on the list. These are as follows and will be issued on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS!:[/font]

Send an e-mail quoting "944 Saratoga Panel Group Buy FINAL ORDERS (Tom Fripp)" to the following address:

[style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"][style="box-sizing: border-box;"][font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]You will then be contacted by e-mail with a pro-forma invoice from Pilkington.

The total will be £418.27 (inc VAT) if you are picking it up from your local depot, otherwise you will need to pay an additional £25 for delivery.[/font][/style][/style]

[style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"][style="box-sizing: border-box;"][font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]2. Do nothing and hope that 9 other people don't follow 1 above. :ROFLMAO:[/font][/style][/style]

I believe I was in for one of the spare ones, and have previously followed the above instructions, just not my name on the list yet...

So that's 32 orders, not 31!

Look very 70's with the 4 mushrooms on the top. Wonder how noisy they'll be...

What's this about "mushrooms" - is this likely to be a problem ?

(Given the waiting time: must be magic mushrooms ?)

Otherwise: HOORAY !

Just in time for winter !?

I am/was 25 on the list: Antony N.

It may be because the Saratogas are thicker than the original sunroof panel, hence "There's not mushroom inside":ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

All right, I'm getting my coat!!

 
Omg I have just woken from a sofa snooze and opened this thread [:-]has anybody had an invoice for their unicorns yet ?

Evening sleepy head! Those on the list should have their unicorn/rocking horse poop/hens teeth/pixie/fairy invoice next week.

Those that want one but aren't on the list....better get a crack on!

 
Tom

I was shown as No29 on previous list Andy944 (Andy), I did email Nick at the time but not shown on your current list, I've been looking forward to my Unicorn.

Please double check that i have one reserved, my Brown interior really needs to be seen by the world.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks Andy. Sorry about the mix up.

The list is a bit of a hybrid from Nick with people coming and going (forum names make the whole thing really complicated!!) and has evolved over the last 8 months..which is why I've reposted it to avoid disappointment for the believers!

Please PM me your full name and I'll make sure you're on the list.

Thats 33 taken folks! Get in quick!
