Slightly miffed.

Question for the NI members on here. GB residents (nor anywhere else) need not apply.
I’m a bit pissed off this evening.
On my last visit to Belfast, I distinctly expressed an interest to my SA (RG) on attending the Taycan launch as I’m really interested in a full BEV Macan when they’re launched. I really would like a drive in one to see what they’re like on the road, weight, performance etc. At the launch events, Belfast OPC normally take your details and arrange a test drive.
Now recently, invitations have been issued from various nationwide OPCs for customers to attend launch events. I didn’t get one. When I mentioned that on here, a very kind member forwarded on his invitation to me to accept as it did not explicitly state who the invitee was.
I didn’t take up this kind offer, as I felt a bit miffed as not having received my own personal invitation.
Today I received an email from the sales manager advising me of the launch of the new 4.0 GTS Boxster. I politely replied saying that I had expressed an interest in the Taycan launch but RG hadn’t replied. About three minutes after sending, I got a phone call from Belfast which I couldn’t take as I was in a meeting.
I subsequently received an email reply from RG indicating that invitations were being sent out in waves and that I would be on the next wave. Is this complete and utter bullshit or has anyone else not received their invitation yet. I smell a rat and in the background I’m hearing a lot of back-pedalling.
I drive two Porkers and would consider myself a decent customer of Belfast. All our servicing is done there and, unfortunately, I can’t shop around as they have a monopoly in NI.
Am I alone in this, or are Belfast telling the truth?
