Default Got my VIN, now what?

The supplier has given my vin number, but is there anything I can do with it? Can I check the order or build progress? Sort of hope I can!

About all you can do is keep a note of it and check that it is the same as the car that is delivered

Oh, and meantime read the manual cover to cover (at least twice seems to be the norm), that way you will have nothing exciting to discover when the car eventually arrives

Mmm, don't actually intend to do any of that! I'll save all the fun until it arrives! Shame I can't do anything exciting with it :-)

Sensible man, I often feel sorry for the people that know everything before the car is delivered, must be a disappointing to find it does exactly what it says in the book - much more fun to find it out bit by bit using trial and error on the real thing

Or a dissapointment to fund out it didn't! Hopefully not though!
