Not every dealer is the same and some are quicker off the mark than others. As soon as Clubsport S info was requested from VW we phoned everyone on our database who we thought would be interested and put their details through to VW. This enabled us to get allocation of 4 units in the customer's colour choice. I have heard of dealers which don't do this, or just take details of customers and then wait around until the cars are available for order in the hope that they end up with allocation. These were not standard allocation so without being so proactive we would not have had the cars. Most cars are allocated to dealers via build slots and therefore its up to the dealer what they do with their allocation. There is no reason for 2 dealers to hold the same policy.

Lets be honest though, for most dealers it makes sense to sell allocation prioritising existing customers.

Yes, JJ - that makes sense ... when i went into my local VW dealership after reading the PH nurburgring record article, they had no idea about the car and had to create a Clubsport order just to take my deposit, before official launch - I was the first deposit and by the looks of it; another member on here has also done the same thing after me. They took my deposit then gave my details for verification to VW/HQ and created my build slot and allocation. You are obviously way more on the ball than those guys ...  :wink:

Yep Match Boy ... We should have our own car club or YouTube site ... Haha  :grin: The Lambo is the best by far, its a Limited edition one so i gather, as I'm not a Lambo aficionado  :roll eyes: Its Matt Black and Grey with Carbon Fibre everywhere, he also has the 458 Speciale which he just leaves out on the drive ...  :cry: The McLaren makes the best noise, you can hear it start up in the garage and wait for it to come past the house, we live on a cul-de-sac so anything in has to come out so great for viewing the cars ... I am the Poor relation with the GT4 ...  :smug:
I also forgot, one guy is building his own TR6 from scratch so that should awesome when finally built  :whistle:

I don't think I'd ever leave the road, I'd just be driving up and down looking at all the cars all day  :grin:  I've never driven a Lambo, but from what I hear they are an absolute pig to drive; I'm not a Ferrari fan (other than that noise!) as the interior is just not all that IMO, and I've been told the McLaren (I forget which one) is just too clinical a drive - but again, that noise!  So out of all of those I'd have the GT4, best of both worlds!  In conclusion, you have the best motor of the lot!  :smiley:
