Hi Shellstar98 I've currently got a Focus Sport Winning Blue Auto arriving (hopefully) on 30/6 after paying my deposit on 9/4 so it can take awhile! Given the car is now in Australia and depending on what state you live in I'd say give it a week or two. Mine is getting tinted windows, paint protection, wind shields and upgrade to 18" wheels so will spend a few more days at dealership before pick-up. Won't be long now and reckon it will be worth the wait.

Mine's ready for collection from dealership on 30/6 but won't pick it up until Sat 1/7 at 9am..can't wait! I think mine arrived in the country late last week. Dealer sent me a picture today of the upgraded black 18" wheels on my car and they look great as does the Winning Blue colour. Reckon you have made a great choice too and hope your wait is a short one!

Hi Shellstar, got the car yesterday and have already fallen in love with it! Drives like a dream, really comfy, good grunt, firm and smooth drive and a whole lot of fun. I'm not an IT or techo geek but I found SYNC 2 easy to use and had no problems Syncing my Android phone. Have done a tick over 500k's with 7.1 fuels consumption with mix of country and city driving and still have 180 odd klms to go before I need to fill up. Have attached a couple of photos but I don't think they do justice as to how good the car looks, when it's sunny it looks so much better. Hope you get yours soon as you are in for a treat!
