Received my VIN over the weekend from my dealer. Now comes the daily check-up to see when it pops up on the Track & Trace website!

Hi DJB86, how long was it between deposit taken and vin received ?

At long last my MY2015 manual Golf R, which I ordered in April, built in July, has been loaded onto the Tongala at Zeebrugge, Belgium, and due to arrive in Melbourne on 30/09/14. I'm curious why my car didn't board the ship at Bremerhaven, Germany, where it originated from, which is much closer to the production plant in Wolfsburg. Anybody know?

Perhaps there are nice driving roads between Wolfsburg and Zeebrugge ?

Hey Mikey1, as I suspected my R's also coming on the Tongala Don't know why they're boarding our R's at Zeebruggge, pretty sure when I tracked my MK6 GTI it loaded at Bremerhaven.

Picked up my Lapiz Blue Golf R 2014 MY15 optioned with DSG, leather, sunroof & Tints at Gerald Slaven VW today. Ordered early May, car left Bremerhaven on the Tortugas on 26/6/14 and arrived at Port Kembla on 9/8/14 via Fremantle and Melbourne. Felt a bit sad for my Mk6 GTi though which I have to sell.

Ordered Golf R fully optioned in Lapiz blue. Estimated delivery December 2014. Dealt with Kurt at McGraths Sutherland, a genuine guy who gave me a top deal.

Hi jacs, if you don't mind me asking what sort of deal did you get from sutherland? I'm seeing them tomorrow.
