Build Date Confirmed!!

....says the man chatting on a car forum in the dark of the night.   

Waiting to pick my daughter up from town. What else is there to do

Ah, I've got all that to look forward to!  Might have received the R by the time my girl is of clubbing age.

Rebecca:

The wait is ridiculous and unacceptable.

Perhaps your car has given birth to premature triplets who are now on life support and their mother is unfortunately dead. 

Threaten them with cancellation and see if they react with alacrity and favourably.

Have you been at the whisky again Asker?   

In that surreal scenario, I get 3 baby R-lings in place of one full sized one.  Sounds like a lot of hard work, just think of all the constant detailing.    I'm too old for all that 

I mooted cancelling to my dealer last Friday, but I really don't think they care.  They do so many broker deals that my little order is probably quite insignificant. 

It won't be so bad if I get a confirmed BW, this week or next, but I have little faith in the system.  It's a shame that BMW's don't rock my boat, otherwise there'd be a dust trail from the VW dealership to the BMW dealership '(and I'm not joking or being sarky when I say that).

Or just get an S3 Hearse  or even better an RS3 Mega Hearse. They are both rather tasty IMO.

Not been on the Scotch for a couple of days or had any alcohol. Boring Adam's Ale for me!

No hearse, normal or mega, for me, you know how blinkered I am over Golf's, it's an affliction. 

But your post has made me realise where I'm going wrong.  I need alcohol, and in abundance!!!  I'm not much of a drinker these days and it's been about a month since I last had a 'drink', but, if I get p!ssed I'm pretty sure I'll care a whole lot less about this R palaver.  So that's the answer!  Well, from Thursday onwards I will be dosed up on Maldivian cocktails so help is at hand.   

Thanks Asker, you are a genius my sweet

Genius and insanity are two sides of the same coin! I am neither, I hope. But if you say so, I concur.

By the time you get your car, it being one of the triplets, it could be a Mk8!

Well my little genius, there may be some encouraging news.  A member on vwroc in the same situation as me, has just informed me that he's had a communication today from VWCS, which states that all delayed cars have now been prioritised.  This backs up what I was told about my car last week, and which saw my BW jump forwards from BW4 to BW37.  However, the factory is shut this week (until 17th August) (lazy German workforce!), so will have to wait for further update.  I'm good at waiting. 

So it might yet still be a Mk7.

I could harness some of that genius or even the insanity.

I knew this was going too well. My car is here. I saw it at the dealers this morning still largely wrapped in its transport stuff. Cue me being excited. Asked dealer when can I have it - Friday. Then he dropped something of a bombshell. I've done a pre-reg deal, and I know most dealers need to keep the car for 3 months before selling. Mine has (I thought) come to some sort of arrangement as I'm picking the car up on Friday. Right?

Right. Only I can't have the V5 for 3 months. That's the bombshell. I'm not pleased on the basis that when the car transfers to me, I'd like the V5 please. Not as a matter of principle, but because its, kind of, like the law...

What I thought (had been widely told) was a reputable dealer, has gone down in my estimation slightly. And the deal on Friday is somewhat in jeopardy as I'm now waiting on a conversation with the Partner.

And this is first time your dealer has mentioned this?

Where would that affect you getting insurance.  Would you be able to get insurance if you are not the registered owner for the first 3 months? 

[battleshipgray]

Yes Rebecca - first time it's been mentioned.

I'd had a Google about insurance implications and discovered that if you're not the registered keeper, of their spouse/ partner. some companies will have diffs over insurance. Not sure what my current company's view is, but don't want to have conversation on spec until I know what the score is on Friday.

But slightly pissed (actually majorly pissed) that the V5 issue wasn't pointed out till this morning.
