GTD build dates (estimated or confirmed)

I'm beginning to wonder if BW36 is the GTI/GTD equivalent of a mirage.......

Or that the second wave of allocation has come up and a whole group of right hand drive production is being prepared. (I know this is total conjecture, but we can only hope!)

Just got back from birmingham Volkswagen, test drive on the GTD, it's the dogs b*******s

What a drive. Mrs wasn't too impressed but what does she know about cars. Been told that my GTD goes to build in build week 34 (19 August) pushed back a week was initially told BW 33. Assured that the car will be here with me mid sept.

Anyone else driven it.

I'm currently sat at BW33, and have been quite a while (initially BW26). Dealer rang yesterday to say i'm still BW33, so haven't slipped. Was in a GTD DSG for a 90 min test drive on my own - everything great except my strong dislike of the DSG box.

I was initially BW26 too, then I was pushed back to BW33 now BW 34 iv waited this long what's one week. Birmingham VW don't allow a test drive on your own I had like half hour. I ask for a line test drive they said no because of too many accidents.

The DSG is what I ordered seemed capable in this one, but I can see why people dislike them.

I like to keep control of my gear changes, the DSG seems to have 2 modes - sedate (very early change ups) and manic. I did give the paddles a go, but the box still wants to change up when it wants to rather than when I want to - could understand if my preferred changes would mean frigging the car, but that wasn't the case. It was very smooth though. A few times I went to change up and it went up twice because it had literally just changed when I was asking it to. If you like auto, you'll like DSG.

Dealer was fine letting me out on my own as it's my 2nd car with him and my dad bought a car off him too.

This is my second dsg and is way more refined then previous models but I can see the draw to the manual. Just looked its obviously cheaper to buy but also 100 a year less on the tax (every little helps)

Brum volkswagen would let me have a courtesy car until this one arrives 'we don't have the capability'.
