Also got my 5b yesterday too. So jumped from average 4 weeks (5a) to 3 weeks (5b) in the space of two days. Exciting! :cool:

I know I'm talking to myself here but also got my 5C today and it's due in Grimsby on Weser Highway at 2:30PM. Excited in an understatement - sold my Beetle over 8 weeks ago now and I've been driving a 1999 Polo around! :grin:

Mine was a pre-reg car and I had to wait a whole 10 days between going to see it to test drive and collecting it (as it had a specific release date by vw). Was the longest 10 days of my life :laugh: so cant imagine how frustrating waiting weeks on end for one to be built must be!

Some pics would be nice, when you pick it up!!!
Also not long now, I did wait about 2 weeks from it landing in Grimsby to getting my hands on it!!!

Trust me, the wait is worth it

Oh don't tell me that! I'm losing the will to live driving this old car. :grin:

Just had an update, the forecast build week for my Golf R with all the trimmings will be week commencing 08/08/16.  I know the actual build week date can move from this predicted date, but it is all starting to become more real now.   :smiley:

Hi,
 
A piece of interesting information. My friend has a new Golf match with a build week of this week, and I have an R on order due to be built next week.  My friend received a tracker update (and confirmed by chatting to VW) saying that his car is now built and in transit.  Apparently they are running a week early with car builds. His build tracker skipped the build process completely. I contacted VW via online chat any my car will be built this week or next.
 
It's looking good :)
