Brand new Gti ordered. Whoops!

[Booth11]

Very nice spec   bet you can't wait, and only a couple weeks to go.

Can't wait, only seen 1 R around this area so will be nice being a bit exclusive. Hope its a worthwhile change from the GTI

I'm sure it will be. 

Seem to be scarce around my way too, I've only seen one white R so far despite them being sold in reasonable numbers at the expense of the GTI.  But then there's never been many GTI's round here either, mk6 or mk7s which does make it feel a little more exclusive.  MK7 GTDs are a more common sight.

We've been discussing it on another thread.  Not all dealers do it though.  Some people think it adds to the excitement of getting a new car, and others aren't bothered about it.  I prefer low key handover but I can see how some would enjoy it, especially if it's your first new car, or maybe for your kids benefit

God no, not my thing at all. I'm with you on the low key handover!

I wouldn't be wincing at a slightly higher key handover, but I wouldn't expect it or be disappointed if I didn't get it.

Pulman have always been pretty low key with me, pick-up outside with all the used cars (but have prepared all cars to a good standard), but Scotswood Road branch of Benfield used to push the boat out a bit.

I was invited to drive my car out of the showroom, which I did. Just for a second I wanted to scream out of there, smashing through the plate glass window (as in Roger Moore 007 in "the man with the golden gun" borrowing a new Hornet to give chase to Scaramanga's car/plane")....but then I thought about the damage that would cause.  So I drove it like a nun, much to the relief of the saleswoman, no doubt.

My Scirocco was an outside job. My Mk7 GTI PP was inside the handover building with the "I'm Ready To Go Home" cover on it.
My R was inside but the salesman refused to put the cover on it in case it left any marks on the paintwork.
All were great handovers all by the same salesman and all cars were in tip top condition when I picked them up. No complaints or preferences from me.
