The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

My car got off the boat yesterday in Melbourne. So now it needs to clear customs and VWA and then make the trip to Sydney for PD. I am actually driving to Melbourne the week after next and will probably drive past it either going down or coming back.

I am confused. If your dealer is in Sydney, the car would get off the boat at Port Kembla, not Melbourne.

You'd think so wouldnt you? Apparently thats not the case. I didnt order the car - the dealer found one in stock so I guess it is being done by stock swap with either VWA before they send it to a dealer or with a VIC dealer. I suspect my dealer is playing ducks and drakes at the moment (see my earlier posts) but now I have a VIN and their loan car which I am driving so they can take their time. Especially seeing as though the loaner is diesel and fuel prices are so high currently. I will monitor this car and if no movement within a couple of weeks I think I will cancel my order and start again with something I can touch in stock.

It's not by any chance a Candy White Golf GTI DSG?

in fact it is.... why do you ask>/

It could be the order that my friend cancelled. We ordered the same time, unfortunately he ran into some difficulty and had to cancel his order early February. He was utterly upset that he had to lose this order having already waiting the same time as I did since November. I was tracking his VIN, since we ordered the same time, it got off the Morning Conductor on Sunday together with my GTI.

I hope you got a good deal for the car.

Are the last few digits of his VIN 199932?

I cannot remember his VIN but if you're curious, send me a private message with your specification and I'll confirm if it's the same.

I ordered a 118 TSI in December 2010 (just after xmas). But my order is still "unscheduled"... and now told maybe June?!?! Yep this waiting game is oh so fun...
