yeah but don't the roc's come from south africa or somewhere fun?  Thats understandable the speed shipping takes, takes long nough to hop accross from Emden to Grimsby or Sheerness and that's just the width of a lake in some parts, how I wish they made better use of the chunnel!  Anybody ever looked into how much FedEx might charge for a parcel the size of a Golf plus packaging?

That's not long. Ordered mine mid November 2010 and took delivery mid-July last year; a wait of exactly 8 months. My experience was pretty typical of waiting times in 2010 / first half of 2011. You guys are really lucky with your 'short' waiting times!

I ordered a new Golf Match 2.0 140 with a load of extras 2 friday's ago and have yet to have a call from the deal regarding a build date, does it take a while to simply be given a build date ?

Not really, you should be given one provisionally after a few days (whenever it is accepted by the factory) assuming the dealer has allocation. I'd call & ask as it's probably not something they let people know straight away in case it changes

Still havnt heard a thing from them. I placed the order on Friday 24th of February, it will be 3 weeks this friday, the guy said 8-12 weeks but more towards the 8 week mark, meaning 5 weeks left on Friday but i havnt even been given a build date, hmmmmm

Mine was ordered on 19th Sept 2009 and I picked up 27th Jan 2010 after a 1 month delay which was phoned in Nov  :cry:. This 8 months wait is a not worth having  :angry:.
