Just wondered who else has one due for delivery or indeed already built or am I one of the the first ones in the UK to get my hands on the Mk7 GTD? :smiley:

My dad's is either in the UK now, or will be tomorrow (depending on which ship it caught to the port of Tyne - should be on the road by the end of the week.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Am I right yours was ready Thursday last week as well?  I hope mines on the same ship but not heard anything from the dealer yet.  I want to know if it's got the sound actuator is fitted as I can't find out anything concrete yet.  I don't even know of any UK demonstators anywhere either.

Will you be really disappointed if it hasn't got it? I don't think i would.

Paul: Yes last Thurs. I think yours is more likely to be on a Sheerness bound ship than port of Tyne, unless it stopped off in both ports. If they put the sound actuator on my 170TDI Scirocco and the MK6 GTD, i'm sure it will be on the MK7  GTD too.
My TDI sounds better internally than the natural sound of the 2.0TSI 210PS, but of course it is completely artificial.

No GTD demos in any of the Tyne and Wear dealerships yet, and they were amongst the first to get GTI demos in.

I think I would be but don't think it would be worth waiting for!!!

If it's in transit I think you'll be easily getting it within 2 weeks.
