Deanh Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Link wonder how long they will take to come from Turkey, I've had one in the order banks since 2/12/09.......they started building it 6/6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 wonder how long they will take to come from Turkey, I've had one in the order banks since 2/12/09.......they started building it 6/6 I imagine they'd arrive at an east coast port so it'll have to be offloaded and then shipped across the country. Several weeks at the minimum would be a rough guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only image I could find from the "Cheers" Thanksgiving episode with the "pop thingy". It's a good one though: Our one and only full frontal view of Vera, Norm Peterson's wife.

NickF1011 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) trivia..."Cliff" has a role/ voice over in EVERY Pixar movie.... He was also in "The Empire Strikes Back" :yup: And Cliff Clavin was originally supposed to be a security guard, but they switched it to postman so as to give him a device (reading everyone's mail) to explain how he accumulated so much random, albeit usually wrong, knowledge.

Deanh Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I really love this little truck, just a cheeky honesty to it, once they upgrade the powertrain to a more consumer friendly unit ( 2.5 w 6 speed trans ) I think the customer base will expand ten fold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember to take out the bag. I didn't even know there was a bag in there. Mmmmm! melted plastic infused turkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azulejost Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 wonder how long they will take to come from Turkey, I've had one in the order banks since 2/12/09.......they started building it 6/6 It seems LLN has left out a reasonable chunk of info regarding the details on shipping. Automotive News reports the Connects are shipping from a Baltimore port now to the dealers, not that the shipping has begun from Turkey (Link). Hate to spoil the Thanksgiving jokes, but it sounds like they'll start showing up before the month is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah...not if you want anything left of that vinyl interior. You must not have a 3 year old boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the late 1960s, my dad was a Foreman road tester with Metro Ford in Brisbane Australia. He had a car come in where two little boys decided to play with the cigarette lighter, they made lovely zero marks all over the vinyl trim, seats, backs, door cards, dash.......oh boy....
