Thanks for that.

Don't know about anyone on else here who's awaiting delivery but I can't believe the amount of time I'm spending reading GTI reviews, watching GTI vids on YouTube and reading the Golf brochure cover to cover again & again... and again!  d'ya think maybe I'm excited? Ah well, the day'll be here soon and then I'll have a nice shiny Ed35 of my very own!  :smiley: :cool: :grin:

Yep, that's exactly what ive been doing for past 4 months....does your head in after a while lol...

But your right your turn will be here soon enough!

 :grin: Yup, been a couple of weeks of that so far! Not sure how sustainable it is....

I'm the same.  Cant wait.  Here an update on how my new GTD is getting on.  The build was finished two weeks ago.  For the last two weeks it has been waiting to be shipped.  The last news (today) is it is 'at the port of exit and released to go on ship' according to the dealer.  It seems to be stuck along with many others at the port of exit.    :cry:

I am also frustrated there is not an 'online' tracking option or a 'factory collection' option like Porsche do.  You can watch your car being built in the factory and then drive it home!   :angry:

Steve and a few others from the forum have suggested I get onto VW customer services and complain about the long wait at the port.  I am going to do this on Monday.  However, I've not waited as long as some others e.g. I only ordered the car at Christmas....   :rolleyes:

I have decided to 'retro fit' Cruise control before delivery via the dealer.  £188 for the retrofit is a lot cheaper than the factory option and comes with a three year warrantee!   :smug:  However, this should really be standard on a car of this price (e.g. its standard on the Golf Match). 

Will it get here soon????:undecided:
