The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

They really won't have any information to give you in the first 4 weeks at all! I ordered my R on June 12th although my sales man kept me updated at least once a month, it wasn't until September 6th that they finally had the confirmed production week. I'm not sure whether TDIs and TSIs are in a backlog like the GTIs and especially Rs are, but yeah, patience

Send your dealer an email and just ask nicely if they could shoot you through an update once a month, that's enough

Yep patience is a virtue eh? lol Your a lucky bugger with yours on a boat now! Just knowing that its actually on the boat and the wait will soon be over would be exciting enough, can't imagine when you actually first sit in the beast and zoom off for the first drive!!

I've been waiting since my MKV Oettinger/APR Stage II GTI was written off by a bus in Jan 09. I thought to myself it'll be better in Jun this year when the car was ordered... nope. Then I thought it'd be better once I knew it was in production... even worse! Now that it's on the boat, I can't even get a good night's sleep! Someone shoot me already, lol

Damn that sucks about the writeoff! I was bad enough when my Skyline's front end was damaged years ago so can't imagine how annoying and gutting a writeoff would be.

Lol yeah i don't usually sleep well at the best of times so when my car is eventually on the boat I will be going nuts as well I think!

It's worse because now there won't be any updates as the boat doesn't reach next port until the end of this month!

It should be ok for the next ~20 days until it gets to East London and Durban. It most probably won't be that far off the coast of SA that it won't show up on the tracking side. But once it leaves Durban and heads to Perth, it'll basically be off the radar for 10 days! *eek!*

My VIN didn't produce anything for at least 10 days from when I received confirmation.

Haha yeah, give that ship a miss.

As much as i want it to go on a boat, i don't particularly want it on the Torino which is the next ship to leave, leaves before the Boheme but arrives 15 days later !!
