« on: 22 May 2013, 15:11 »
Has anyone got a GTD build date? I have been told mine is week 27.

According to VW UK today, mine is Week 26 and my dad ordered 3 days later but his is a week sooner at 25. I suspect mine was bumped down a few weeks because of a change in colour I made about 2 weeks after ordering, my dad made no changes to his and they're both without options added.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

What's your spec and when did you get an order placed (if you don't miind my asking)?

I have a theory that certain options may be delaying the build week quite significantly. We might be able to test that theory when we get some more info.

monkeyhanger, Bill The Bear is doing a spreadsheet/analysis as we speak - we can all fill it in and then it should show us trends of what is holding up certain orders.

I'm almost there.  Hoping the website I am using isn't going to try to charge me to post the form but it seems like it won't!
