I have had three texts and three emails confirming build week , they seem to be repeating themselves for some reason. Buils week is 26th October, any bets when I will pick up the car ?

Ordered mine beginning of September and I pick it up on Friday....yeah!!!
When I ordered I was told it would be Feb / Mar next year, but then the day I ordered someone rang in cancelling their order so I was given the option of taking their order / slot. The car was the same colour, same options with the additional benefit of DSG (I originally ordered Manual)...the best thing was it was being built that week.
So in summary, instead of 6 months I've waited 6 weeks.
Exactly the same happened when I purchased my GTI. Got a cancellation with the same spec and colour but this time got the additional bonus of the PP thrown in for a great discounted rate.
So my advice is always ask the garage if they have any cancellations :)

Good advice, I expect dealers get a few people pull out for various reasons so worth asking
