Sounds like you have had a **** time of it with your dealer Harry, but I have to say that it doesn't seem to extend to all dealers.
John Weir in Perth have been brilliant with me. The salesman, Fraser Thornhill, is an long standing friend of mine, but that not withstanding, he has been able to keep me up to date with the Crossfires movements throughout production and delivery.
DC have a pipeline system that is accessable to all dealers, if they know how to use a PC, unfortunately DC has been pretty crap at keeping the "Pipeline" updated for the dealers.

I ordered my Crossfire in Nov '03, it was a cancelled order (the guy swapped for an auto) and I just got a call on the 13th Dec to say that it was being delivered on Christmas Eve! As soon as I put down the phone, the postie arrived with my Crossfire Pencil Case pack.


I am heading away for some Skiing over the holiday so will pick her up as soon as they tax it in the new year.
I feel like a big kid again waiting for a new toy now!
