Hi!
Three months? You lucky one <g>. I live in germany, where you cannot find any dodge
dealers ... so I ordered my Dak Sport 4x4 5,2 in Canada. I had to wait for nearly 7 months...
As I placed the order in June 1997 a maximum of 12 weeks was promised to me ... but (how
wonderful) someone forgot the factory order and I had to wait for the production of the 98.
Dakota was delivered two weeks ago :o) You are absolutely right: It was worth the wait <smile>
Well, the regulations for cars here in germany are quite different compared to the US ... If you want
to drive the car not just in your backyard but on the street, you have to make some really strange
modifications.
A little example: The exhaust has to be BEND(!) to the back of the car... THAT HURTS <g> But it
was the only way to get a licence plate.
