The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[JordanNaumov]

Thanks for all the kind words and congratulations. I'm looking forward to meeting you all soon at the next dubber meet!

[JordanNaumov]

Congrats Jordan, and Hcvo1.

God what is killing me is that my membership card for the corp discount wont be in till prob late next week and i can't get it till then!
God its even worse knowing the car is waiting for you but you cant get it cos of some paperwork!!!

Ahh my baby will soon be with me!

That really sucks! I've noticed that since my car is only weeks away the wait is so much harder then when it was months away. And i can imagine how much worse it would be considering its there ready to go with only paper work in the way.

You need to add sunroof to your specs now!
Congratulations!

Done and done!

[JordanNaumov]

Black is sexy!

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed although there is so much more work needed to maintain them. I was strongly considering black one but i was too worried about spider web scratches.

Apart from that... well maintained black cars = win

[JordanNaumov]

Hey congrats on getting your car finally! If you dont mind me asking, which dealer did you go to?

Thanks

Sure...

Norris at Kedron

6 days to go...

It WAS a 2009 build !
I say "was" because I got a phone call an hour before pick-up to inform me that somewhere between storage and showroom the car had been involved in an accident ! I sh*t you not, on the day of delivery !
I've re-ordered one and now will need to wait a couple of months now.
Oh well, worse things could happen I guess and no-one was hurt, it's just a bad situation for all involved, the dealership, me, the plonker who stacked it and my poor wife who thought she was driving a new car home today.
On the plus side, the dealer has gone out of their way to look after us, we have another car we can use (Mini Cooper S) and it will be a 2010 (gotta look on the bright side I guess).

Great news, my wife finally got to drive home in her new toy on Friday !
i must admit i was very impressed with the delivery person, Amalia, at Austral (I know I know, "Austral" and "impressed" in the same sentence, go figure) she showed a real genuine interest in ensuring my wife knew everything about the car and made it a nice experience for her - much deserved after the drama in purchasing this car - so, all's good so far and a dramatic turnaround from this Dealer compared to last year.
i have no idea what it's like to drive as I haven't had time but I'll take it up to Nebo during the week when all the Ken Block wannabes go back to work. For now i can say that it makes my R36 look a bit "old" and "dated" ( to quote a family member) and I really really want that steering wheel !!!!

Sounds like ours will be boat buddies. Another Member, Beaker, should also be on the same boat.

Yep dealer called, its been build (finished 20th April) should be sharing a bunk with yours.

Delivery early - mid July which suits me down to a tee, with the current lease.

God, just did my bank cheque. Just makes you realise how much money it actually is when you see your bank balance fall dramatically!!

Beaker, have you been given a VIN number? My TSI 118 was build 21st April. Wonder if mine is on the same boat?
