It looks like my dad's GTD will be out on the road today. The salesman at Pulman Sunderland has been negotiating with all sorts of people at VWUK and the port of Tyne authority to try and get the car sooner than is normally possible and cutting through teh red tape that VWUK put up to delay transport from the docks by up to 2 days after the port authority has given the all clear. The salesman is supposed to be off on holiday all this week, but he has delayed his holiday by a day to make things happen.
The rush is that my dad lives down south now and was up for my uncle's 50th party this weekend. It would be a bit inconvenient to have to come back up for the car in about a weeks time. so the salesman has rushed the deplivery process.
He's taking my dad down the docks today to pick the car up on a flatbed and get it back to the dealership for PDI and sort out the final bits of paperwork before he can drive it away. It seemed that VW UK were a bigger hurdle than the port authority in making this happen quickly, but he's worked a way around it.
Will be getting it washed and then treated with G-Techniq C2V3 and the upholstery treatment. I'll take plenty of pics and confirm the fitment of the "Soundaktor".
