Well, some good news today. My 5dr DSG indium grey GIT arrived at port of Tyne on Saturday evening, after a bit of a delay I got a stage 6 'your car is now in the UK and awaiting transportation' notification on Tuesday so called my dealer and spoke to VWCS who said it would take around 10-14 days to get my car to the dealers, happy days as, like everyone else the wait has been killing me.
This morning, I spoke to VWCS to ask for an update, to my absolute astonishment they said my car had just arrived at the dealership!! Wow, that was fast, picking her up on Friday, cannot wait
That's just over 6 weeks from ordering to delivery, it was an amended dealer specified car, but I'm still very impressed.
