GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

[Gryzor]

It can't be the camera, as I ordered early/mid April, and I've already got a confirmed BW32.  It could be the Performance Pack maybe?

[SF-GTD]

It's probably difficult to directly compare GTI and GTD orders.  My dealer had always said week 32, then I saw the issue with the camera and ended up delayed by three weeks, so that kind of makes sense.  The delays other people are facing don't really make sense at all.

PP won't affect delayed GTD orders, maybe you got a confirmed build just before they decided they had a camera shortage (supplier let them down after stock was allocated to your order perhaps?

Mate... they put you back 2 months! 

Gordor...........I've given up caring (and admitted defeat) it will be here when the dealer phones me.
The best things come to those who wait!

Just found out that my car should be in Port of Tyne tomorrow.    Anyone know which ship this might be?  Also, are cars usually lying a while before transporter comes?  Getting excited now!!

Can't see anything arriving direct from Emden to Tyne before the 20th (City of Barcelona - callsign MRDP6).

Strange.. .the good lady from VW said it would be there tomorrow.  How did you find that out?

Actually, It may have arrived today. The "City of Sunderland" arrived from Emden this evening, I saw it come in (I overlook the mouth of the Tyne at the end of my street), assumed it was a Nissan ship. You can look up Port of Tyne arrivals/expected arrivals on their website and each ship has an origin. It probably won't be on it's way to your dealers for a day or 2 after today - my dad's GTD was specially collected by the supplying dealer from the dockside, bypassing the usual VW UK red tape once it had cleared customs. He had to hurry it becuase if he didn't collect it when he did, he'd have to wait a few weeks for it.

Got an estimated BW of 42 from my dealer last night but when checking the website it says that it's processing order (first option). Is that normal?

[mcmaddy]

yes it wont change to the 2nd stage until 4 weeks before
