Drove to Wolfsburg a few years ago, great place.
I tried to pick up my MK5 GTI there but VWUK said it wasn't possible as it had to be brought into the UK by them  :cry:

I've had extensive looks at Toyota, Jaguar and, Multiple Volvo production lines around the globe, but still think a trip before its built is on the cards, anyone know anything good around that might entertain the Lady?

You could always drop her off at some relations for a few days and take me instead. I promise not to moan at your directions or driving and unlike the wife will happily sleep on the couch instead of hogging three quarters of the bed.
I've always wanted to visit Wolfsburg but there's no way my Missus would go.  :sad:

I'd be well up for that  :smiley:

I felt a little sorry for the last guy, "So Hanz what do you do to make a living" "I put rubber bungs in the floor of VW golfs, but the real excitement comes from none standard cars were I have to insert non standard rubber bungs" poor bugger.

I'm now 10 weeks from order and not a clue about when my car will be here. Dealer the last time I was in 2-3 weeks ago had no information at all, and I feel like I'm putting folk out when I dare ask the question. Sales guy I'm dealing with is a genuine guy (sold the wife her golf at the start of the year), but I surely would have had some indication by now about proposed build week or even order acceptance. Sales manager said "they sometimes just turn up"

So I'm heading in to see them tomorrow to see what the score is with one eye on cancelling and just getting myself a near new preowned one if there is no information two and a half months after ordering. Plenty of GTD's on autotrader at the moment, even if they are in deepest England.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't want to be hanging on with no info until it turns up, sometime in the future.

Your dealer has an online ordering system that will give you the status.
It will also show cars on allocation to all Dealers and if they are sold or stock and what spec.

Poor service in this climate is shocking, when will they learn!

or you can just ring them on 0800711811 and they will give you the status. You just need the commission number from your dealer.
