Thanks Joe.

I contacted the dealer, confirmed mine doesn’t have a bw scheduled, will be a MY22, and they are still sorting those out so that’s what is generating the notifications.

I just hope Fred’a prediction  that my22 cars will have automatic speed limiters in place won’t be as obtrusive as it sounds and somehow my spec becomes no longer available

I can’t see too many spec changes being made for MY22 other than perhaps the auto speed limiter - the performance versions of the mk8 Golf haven’t been out that long, so the standard spec is still pretty fresh.

2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Word for word what I was told.

Also don't care about limiter. Like never gonna even get close to it

I thought the limiter was to stop you going over the posted speed limit for the road rather than a top speed?

Love to see how well that works. Didn't work on my Tesla!

Glad you liked it! I thought it was a good review and I broadly agreed with his views. Thing is with the CS45 is do you want to pay a premium for the exclusivity. I do but understand why most wouldn’t.

Interestingly, the akra sounded far better in that video than Andrew’s. Weird. I know that I can agitate the R the exhaust by lifting off to make it crackle. Maybe it’s the way it was driven too?

Prepare yourselves for the most boring post ever….I’ve decided to add rear view camera. You can now rest easy everyone.  :grin:

And the net result to delivery progress.... arriving sometime before the apocalypse. Same as before.

I'm on week 9 now. He said 20.
