Ah but all they need is a netbook and VCDS and there is a little button that allows you to activate/deactivate the mode. I was tempted to test it on the missus Polo and let he go for a drive....

Anyone know how long does the whole process of docking, clearing customs, etc & etc take?

My cargo ship is due to dock in Melb on 21/12/10. Any chance of me getting it before Christmas??

Mate - you are dreaming. It takes on average about 2 - 3 weeks from Docking to delivery to you depending on dealer workload, pre delivery delays, Aust Compliance process by Patricks etc. It will take around 4 days to even have it delivered to the Compliance company from the day it docks and you've got Christmas in that too. So, without trying to put a dampener on it, I reckon you're talking mid January.

That's life

Would you rather get your "Built 2010" car in January 2010, or wait until June to get your "Built 2011" car?

point taken... still. I talked to my dealer, he's still saying 2 weeks max.

hehhe another GT5 fan! I will be down the local comp store with bells on Thursday for it lol! My mate has a racing cockpit with Logitech GT25 steering wheel and pedals setup.Lucky bastard! Geez that game looks amazing! 1000 cars, day/night, weather effects etc. The only slight downside is no Golf R or Mk VI GTI

Wonder if they can add them as a patch later??
