I know you have tried this one '[email protected]' but I have had a good response by starting the subject with: 'FAO: Paola - ' and then subject title. She has been very helpful to-date and even called me with information. Worth another go??
If it didn't have one I wouldn't be trying to confirm it's history? Ducati museum director who is normally very helpful with historical research got a little upset and just said 'I don't know why they released this bike' then stopped talking - so trying a different route, doesn't seem to be working though. You appear cynical, I know not why? What's a unicorn if not an early prototype horse that didn't go down well in a stampede with its fellows.
Thanks, I will try, I think maybe they are on holiday for all of August like most of Italy so I thought it best to wait until they are back - less chance of getting lost if they have a backlog of e-mails.
Mailed them again today, missed a call almost immediately and received an e-mail saying the relevant people are indeed on holiday. So, I wait with a little more expectation of an answer!
3 missed calls from Italy today while I was driving - then an e-mail stating they cannot tell me any of the info I have asked. Think they are on to me, strange she tried to call 3 times, I think she was maybe trying to find out the reason for my questions maybe. The mail also said they had checked their register of Ducati owners and I was not on it. She requests that I send all my Ducati Vin numbers so they can update their register of owners. Does this seem strange or is it just me being over excitable?
Seems like you'll soon be held captive in some strange Italian prison....or their customer service in Italy is better than expected
I said I fully understood there response regarding releasing their prototype VIN's which I had requested but asked as a compromise if I could at least be told the amount of digits in the VIN without disclosing the number or sequence. Just had a reply - No :Wideyed:
