Actually as I typed that does that sound like a reasonable amount of time to go from starting production to being delivered to Australia?

Hmm, that is poor news sorry to hear it. Nine months is ages. Mine has taken 6 months almost to the day. Why the extra three I wonder.

Mine started build on May 10th and in Sydney docks on July 21st so your timeframes are just about correct. Once you have a confirmed Build date its clockwork....

Interesting, could be your problem, they haven't been producing any 3 door R's since MY12 kicked in. Wasn't it discontinued cos the Rocco is coming?

Hmmm

Yeah they were discontinued not long after I ordered mine, basically I was told they are doing one run of MY12 3 doors for Australia then thats it. I've seen the order in NADCOM so I'm happy that it should still go through, I just think VW can't make up their mind when they are going to do them.

Well then. Astoundingly my six month long wait from order to delivery ends tomorrow when i pick up the R. Thanks to you all for making the wait easier. I can confirm that the time does indeed pass.

You little ripper!! Your excitement is going to sky rocket as soon as you drive it away from the dealership. I giggled like a kid when nearing home and gave it a bit of a squirt or two. lol
