Ah, how long ago the euphoria of "Build week 37!!!" or whatever it was, of 2009, now seems!

Car just as good as ever though!

Rolfe.

The car will be nicely run in now. and everything bedded down properly.
All my slight rattles have all gone away with the miles being clocked up :smiley:

Dealer called me today to confirm build week. 3rd week in January  :laugh: heehee, getting excited.
Also to inform me that 2011 golf gti with bi-xenons now come with day light running LED's like the Audi's-Fantastic. Now match the rear LED's now standard on 2011 Golf GTI's.
Christmas is looking less important.....roll on march 2011.  :smiley:
Sure you'll love it, I remember how excited I got after 4 months wait. The anticipation makes it all the more sweeter.
Fantastic car.

Not sure about the Audi style DRLs though....

So you placed your order early September. Then the build date was confirmed at the beginning of December. So roughly 3 months just for the build date? The build date was for week 3 2011. (Is that just the build start date? How long does it take to build a GTI/GTD/R?) So roughly 7 weeks from confirmed build date? And not expecting delivery until March? :cry:

The waiting is difficult. However, I would hate to take delivery of my new car in this weather!

Didn't want delivery until march as I was buying an "11" private registration. Build wk 3, informed its built in a week.

work on a week to build as you don't know what day it starts on. Then can be a couple of weeks till you take delivery depending on how busy the port is, transport from port to dealer, dealer busy with other cars etc.

Thanks for the informed replies to my posts. That will help me with the waiting.

Order placed almost 2 months ago. Fingers crossed for a build date soon.
