Well, it's taking a very long time for VW to throw my bloody R together. The time it's taking I expect it to have been hand crafted by Archangels.
I don't disbelieve you about the quality of the Type R, but I think many would want to see it for themselves to believe it. I hope it is as well built as you say. The Germans have become very complacent, resting on their laurels and past reputation. They need something to shake them up. Maybe this is it?
I love your turn of phrase! 
Indeed angels will need to intervene to speed up your build and make it a decent one at that. Fingers and everything relevant crossed for you.
Nothing it seems will shake those arrogant and self congratulatory Germans. They are as was for the last 100 years and will continue on their merry and hardened way at the expense of others.
I, for one, am not enamoured by them for a variety of reasons, many of which you know. .
Divine intervention is indeed required where my R is concerned. I may yet beat MH's epic wait.
I will reserve judgement on the build quality until I get it but am expecting it to be of a lower standard than the Mk6.
Only a massive slump in sales might make the Germans sit up but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Not if we keep buying them 
We can but live in hope that Honda (they are starting to), Alfa (the new Giulia and Giulietta), Renault (new Megane) and Peugeot (308 GTI) will up their game, though unfortunately it might take a long time. Here's hoping ........
It will take a long, long time. Something else to hope for!
Hope is a good thing and it all we have to look forward to in this troubled world.
