Rob,
I hope that you are right but I wouldn't be holding my breath. Currently GCs are taking about 6 months from order to delivery. Mine was ordered 9th Jan and ETA to Port in Aust is 11 June.
Yes a long wait for orders is pretty common.
Dont forget unless you altered the contact of sale they have 60days after the date on the contract to get the car to you.
Bugger ...... do you want to lend me yours for a few months then ...
I promise to do a full test of suspension and other capabilities for you ... completely free of charge.
Seriously ... lease will finish on 11 July.. I have a couple of MX5's but they certainly aren't up to doing the Big Trip (not in comfort anyway).
I am going to have a stiff drink, and a good lie down ...

Well that would be enough to send most people screaming from the vehicle Shertim however, with regards to the EDR :-
It records the speed of the vehicle at time of 'incident' and also whether and how far the driver was depressing the accelerator. The manual calls this a 'non-trivial' incident by the way. (Pages 45-46 of the Operating Information Manual).
From my reading of how it works (from this forum but it was at least 6 months ago since I read), the EDR is located in the front passengers door and mostly sits 'dormant' but recording but continues to rewrite over.
However, at 'incident' time (and I believe, although I stand to be corrected) once the air bags deploy, it locks down its last 30 seconds (?) perhaps 60 seconds of data for review by accident/insurance investigators.
ETA: He says he wasn't texting nor speeding at time of incident. Well we'll have to take his word on the texting bizzo but the EDR will provide real data on the speed and acceleration of the SRT at the time.
The police would only use the EDR if there was a fatality or they cannot establish the events that led to the incident. They require a court order (or your permission) to access this data and only for serious matters.
Ok bit of a progress update.
Been running the my14 srt on United 100 Premium and it's going quite well. I'm getting about 10% more kms out of the tank but I am also alternating between 100 and 98 just.
Note premium 100 contains UP To 10% ethanol. Jeep have approved it for cars post 2002 or something like that
