TurboCrazy Member 70 Member For: 21y 9m 23d Location: Cairns FNQ Posted 02/09/03 11:45 PM Share Posted 02/09/03 11:45 PM GentsApparently my car is on the production line at the moment. I have been given my SIDO number (6 digits) and have been looking at the ford website waiting to see some pictures.Does anyone know how long it takes until you get these pictures? The site keeps on telling me that they are not available until the car is "Retailed".Does anyone have any ideas? :idea: Thanks in advance.

After I sent the request on the website I was emailed the photos about 20 minutes later. Don't lose any sleep over the photos they're nothing special, but it's nice to have them. A mate of mine even insisted on keeping all the delivery stickers that come on the car when the dealer gets it, I guess some people like to keep everything.

Or am I one of the only unlucky ones who only had the cameras rolling for a few seconds?

Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 11m 9d Location: Adelaide Posted 03/09/03 04:37 AM Share Posted 03/09/03 04:37 AM Yeah, I find the implementation this good idea of Ford's rather strange!If they made available high-res, well-exposed photos on the net to people who could show they had that car on order, it would be great!!! (Anyway, who'd be going to the trouble of getting build photos of someone else's car and, if they did, what would it matter?)Instead, the photos, which are pretty ordinary in quality (Ford needs advice on digital cameras) are only available after the owner has taken delivery and has the beast "in the metal". They lose a lot of impact then!So, a potentially great idea, that delivers much less than it could due to half-hearted execution. Pity really!But then, maybe I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth! zeke Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5972-my-car-being-built/#findComment-47827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PhilH Guests Posted 03/09/03 11:32 AM Share Posted 03/09/03 11:32 AM alxr6t said: What is the fourth photo of?My 4 photos arrived within 15 minutes. The one missed off the above list was "The Main Framing Line", prior to panels being added and prior to painting.Agreed with the comments above, really neat idea by Ford, but the super low quality of the photos makes the exercise a waste of time. 4 decent quality digital cameras would add little cost, and vast improvements. Perhaps users could get a resolution choice (I.e. low for modem, high for DSL connections etc).
