Truck unloaded and cars stored in yard. Overnight someone jumps the fence and steals the wheels.Next day, cars found on blocks.Delay as new wheels are ordered & delivered and under body inspection to check car.All this even before it gets to the dealer.

(SIXTH TIME IT HAS BEEN DELAYED!!!!! anyone heard of "Managing Customer Expectations"?????)Farkin 'ell.... :(Although to be fair, how do you manage the expectations from somehting like THAT? You're boned if you tell the customer that their car has been up on blocks with no wheels, you're equally boned if you don't tell them and are found out later...Where did this rumour surface?Who was the security people for the mitchell yard?
