I still cant believe the website says on sale in June when no one in the uk will drive a gti or gtd before July... probably. I was told i'd have the car in June by customer services so if it arrives in August or September I wont be happy. The bloody summer (if we get one) will be gone by then  :grin:

My thoughts exactly!! I was hoping to get some 'summer' driving in, but with the way things are going it'll probably arrive the same time as the Snow starts to set in.

Woohooo!!! Just got a call from my dealer this afternoon.  Finally, got an order number & a build date.

It's looking like Week 27 (1st week of July) with expected delivery for the end of July (this is for a White 5 door GTi with PP, ACC/DCC & 19" Santiago's - order placed on 29.03.13).

Progress at last!!! :smiley:

Thanks Bud. This was straight from the 'Procurement Managers' mouth so I'm optimistic!!

Apparently when my dealer checked my order two weeks ago it was showing  provisional Week 43... which was why he didn't want to give me an order number. Apparently when orders are first placed on the system they will all show 43??  (Don't know if that's true or not)

But not before time! Here's hoping the flood gates open... Dealer also confirmed that their demo should be arriving sometime in June (as predicted)...

Sorry I forgot to mention... He indicated that their "demo" won't have the Performance Pack but will be basically plain 'Vanilla' spec.. That's all I know unfortunately. I will get first drive once it arrives apparently  :smiley:
