What are you doing to get through the delivery wait?

[Sword_Dude]

Yep Smacca, I hear you.

At least I've got a week 18 build so from the end of this month I can start boat watching like the guys on the tracking thread!!

I'm going slowly insane.
I ordered a 2011 77 TSI polo DSG Flash read with sports pack back in May. It was meant to arrive mid August but is now looking like September...

I sold my car the first day I advertised it so have been borrowing my sisters 2001 VW golf but I want my own car NNNOOOOWWWW (small tantrum).

Feeling your pain, but count yourself lucky..... I ordered in January and its due in September. I am going nuts but also driving everyone else insane as well. How many times a day can you check Track and Trace.............

[babs]

for me just not trying to think about it...but then my dealer called and advised me confirmed delivery by end of september. hehe not long to go

i just went onto the vw aust website to check out the e-brochure on the polo. listen to the audio.

Waiting sucks ... Sigh ...

With the amount of reading & research I'm doing to pass the time, I'll know the GTI inside out before I even get it. Thank god for the internet

Same story here. I feel as though I already know every inch of the car.

But other than looking at what mods are available for the Polo GTI here in SA, I'm Going slightly mad ! Lucky for me I ordered my car begining of June and the ETA for the ships arrival is 31/7/2011. So I should have my car by mid August.....Feels like FOREVER !!! I check the ships location like every hour or so. Even have that marine traffic app on my iphone...

Even i wasn't that bad and your's has half the distance to travel!

nuggett, you're lucky, imagne the poor people that ordered a gti in feb only to be told it will arrive in june..... the following year!

[nugget1312]

Good point Gavs, That probably would have been the end for me.....

[Smacca]

Whoa, whoa, hang on...

So people who ordered a GTI in Feb have actually been told delivery will be June 2012?

I ordered mine in mid Feb and my dealer is expecting a Feb 2012 delivery. As much as I want the car so badly, if mine is delayed till June, an 18 month wait just isn't worth it.

Wait, so you are actually waiting a year for you car? Damn, I would have walked out and buy something else or somewhere else.

[LarryRSA]

Why is it that you guys in Aus are having to wait sooooooooo Long for your cars ? 12 Months ? Geez. I was told the longest wait here would be 4 months. AT MOST !?!?!?!
