jellyB:
Yes. It seems odd, to say the least, that some orders fly though the processing phase, yet others, as described on this forum take weeks. No apparent reason, one way or the other.
As I indicated to the dealer that I would prefer delivery for 14 plate, is it possible that the dealer, when putting through the order, specified a "go slow" in some way?
Anyway, I'm cool on delivery, 14 plate or otherwise. I am just interested in the logistics of the whole "screwed up VW operation".
