Is anyone else build week 32? I was just thinking that will be the first week after the summer factory closure. Is that a good or a bad thing uhmm....

I'd say better than the week before wouldn't you  :wink:

Yeah I'm week 32.  I highly doubt the week before or after will be of any relevance!

Friday before Shutdown they're wishing they were on holiday rather than work. Monday after shutdown they're daydreaming about the holiday they just had and wishing they were still there - you can't win!  :whistle:

It changes 4 weeks before your build week (or a bit more just now due to shutdown) so it depends when your build week is... Which you don't know until the tracker changes.

Chicken or Egg? :sad:

As above, but specifically 4 Production weeks before. If you build week is within 4 weeks of the end of the 3 week shutdown, you will hear 7 weeks before (like me on BW33) - thats 3 shutdown weeks + 4 production weeks.

Dunno about anyone else but I'm getting pretty pissed off with waiting now. My preferred car is the GTI but if I had ordered either the M135i or Focus ST I would be enjoying the car already. I ordered 30/4/2013 and still haven't moved to a confirmed build week. I've been pretty patient up to now, but am starting to get :angry: :angry: :angry:
Cancelled GTI, M135i beast mode.
