Build Date Confirmed!!

[Restlessnative]

It's pleasing to see a bit of movement here at last.
Maybe the factory are doing a bit of a right hand drive run at the moment(?).

I was speaking to the manager of a hire company during the week and they're expecting 21 R's within the next month (all from one dealer from what I could tell. He wasn't sure if it was Inchcape or Blade.

Could be.I can imagine if they were going to do anything in as large a batch as possible,it would be RHD.
They must have to do quite a bit of machine re-setting to do it.

My BW 38 confirmed build date(w/c 14 Sep) has just changed to.'Your car has been built and has left the factory'!.I guess they must have been doing overtime this weekend or something!.Good times!.

Definitely on overtime - I was at stage 3 on Monday with confirmed build week beginning 7th Sept - received 5a on Tuesday and got stage 7 notifications by text and email at 8.30 this morning - could be beating the dealers anticipated early October delivery at this rate

What was your timeframe for each stage?

Ordered 4th July - heard nothing until 18th Aug when I got build week confirmation (week beginning 7th by text and week beginning 14th on the email)??

Got 5a left the factory/in transit on the 8th Sept and stage 7 this morning - missed a couple of stages along the way but happy enough.

Yeah my email had the same thing, mine's still waiting to get on the boat i imagine, haven't heard anything since 5B, but apart from that my dates are pretty much identical to yours

Probably a different boat - I'm in Northern Ireland - not sure what route that would be

Such a common car now, not sure I want it anymore

In all seriousness it is refreshing to see the movement on here after things remaining static for so long for many.  Despite my epic wait I do not begrudge anyone getting their car in as short a time as possible.

There should be lots of nice arrival pics in a few weeks time.  Looking forward to seeing them, and hearing everyone's thoughts on their new motors, be it GTD/GTI or R.

Greerso it will be interesting to see how long yours takes to arrive at dealers from being built?? Mine is due to be built week 41 so would give me an idea on timeframe.

You with Agnews Mallusk?
