I remember having the same issue when I sat in a demonstrator ...

Re: Last FE delivery date

29th October for me.

Delayed from mid September to mid October with a three day slippage in delivery to the U.K. (15th). This was further compounded by my absence to take delivery until I returned from holiday.....!
