We ordered our Mk4 from Factory Five at the end of July and were given a completion date of September 11, 2010. Lola was completed on time and shipped on September 17, 2010, causing her to arrive from Massachusetts on September 21, 2010 . . . Jim's birthday. She arrived around 12:15 via Stewart Transport. Because our community had a very small entranceway, the truck had to back into a side street across the street from our house, causing us to have to roll all of the boxes and the car across a major road to get to our house. I can't help but wonder what the passing motorists must have thought about seeing the body of a car being wheeled across the street!
After getting everything across the street, the car was set up on jacks and the boxes were placed inside to be inventoried. It looked like Christmas in our house because of all the boxes, and for us, it was.
