Well, well, well!!  Just got stage 3 notification.  :shocked: :shocked:

Email says BW38 - confirmed for production week commencing 14/9/15, and tracker says BW37 - week commencing 7/9/15.  Typical VW consistency!!   :rolleyes:

But who cares, it's finally confirmed!   I'll light my sparkler now!  :laugh:

Fan-bloody-tastic news!!! Bout time too. :cool:

You definitely win the award for the most patient member of the forum, I hope your dealer has got some decent goodies planned?! :whistle:

Anddd, roughly how long is it from building to being at my dealer (newcastle). I'm getting too impatient now


Someone on here was 10 days from build start to at the dealers but it must have been lucky getting the train out to Emden then straight on a ferry.

Anything from 2 - 4 weeks is more realistic.

My dealer has just confirmed it is BW37 - wc 7/9/15, so tracker is the correct one.  Website still showing as BW38.  :rolleyes:

Congratulations! The dealers are now taking preorders for the MK8, better get your name down now!  :laugh:

There's nothing like tropical rain on holiday - as long as they don't run out of booze, that's the main thing.

Haha!  Maybe I will.  :tongue:

I love tropical rain, but this is pushing it!!   :angry:  Booze - I can take it or leave it.  I'm not one of those Brits who suddenly has to drink everything in sight because it's holiday time!!  :tongue:

There's no "suddenly" about it, it's just easier on the pocket when abroad.  :cool:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

You mean you drink like that normally  :wink: :tongue:

Actually Americans are the worst.  Not here (it's too far for them, fortunately), but in the Caribbean, they fill up their oversized 'sports cups' with booze, and get VERY loud!!!  :laugh:

Cheers JB.  :smiley:  It's been a long time coming and my patience was definitely starting to fray at the edges!  Any longer and toys would have been strewn all over the place.  :laugh:

Cheers BSG.  :smiley:  Everyone deserves their new cars, and as Rhyso said a few posts back, it is a silly amount of time to wait for a Golf.  If anything else had taken my fancy, I might have abandoned it.  Now I am looking forward to getting it and hope it lives up to expectation.

Thank you to everyone for your lovely words...... :cool:  :kiss:

And so good to be able to legitimately post in this thread!   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:  :cool:

It's really seemed to cheer you up Memsahib B which is great news in itself.
Hopefully now you'll really enjoy your holiday with an extra spring in your step.
Not even an occasional drop of tropical rain will dampen your spirits now!

Time to get the GTI advertised and shifted when you get back and count down the days knowing it will still be a mk7 after all and even on a 65 plate too!!!

The car will definitely live up to expectations, it's a really great bit of kit.
