So the wait goes on and on and on
« on: 10 January 2011, 20:17 »
Greetings all, thought I'd sign-up, say hello and see if anyone else has been waiting 7 months for a GTI?  Ordered in early June 2010 and now have a build week of 17 so by the time its delivered in May a staggering 11 months will have past!

Can anyone beat this?  :sad:

Welcome and lots of sympathy. :smiley:

I think that's how long it may take for an elephant to give birth. Hope you don't get one of them.
Surely it should be comforting to know that you're most probably at the top of the waiting list by now. :cool:

It's good to break records, but positively not this one!


Whoops! You'll have to fight p3eps to get to the top! Fortunately, he did not get an elephant so there is hope for you yet! :grin:

Point of deposit doesn't actually mean point of order on cars like these which have very limited allocation. Especially when the car can't even be ordered yet p3eps? : )

Placed my order in August 2009, it arrived 8 moths later in May, well worth the wait though. Try to put it to the back of your mind, its easier that way...assuming you like your music, you'll love the dyaudio, i do.

All good things.. and all that.....

Holy S**t!  Mine was ordered Mid Sept, for a supposed delivery in May, but not confirmed yet.  What is it with the whole Volkswagen/Audi group?  My mate ordered an A3 S-Line back in May 2010 and is still waiting, last confirmed as build week 4.  Then on the other two hand two colleagues ordered GTD's in Sept 2010, one delivered end of Nov 2010, the other last week.  Doesn't make sense.

The two GTD's sure did make me want mine all the more!  Just try to get some things booked in between to try and make the time fly, it's bloody awful counting down the days tho..
