Rayza Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 To be honest have thought about the R32, but need to see it in the flesh and have a test drive. Does not look very good in the pictures though. It seems as though they rushed this a little. But can't go wrong with a V6 and 4wd. But hopefully the GTI will be enough for me (as long as Mr Sensible stays with me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Trust me Rayza, the R32 is no big deal. A well run in GTI will easily keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mu71rd Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Scott...FYI - invoice now paid, (clears tomorrow) so let's see what happens from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Nice one Murd. Got an email from Shaun today. Told me that he uses a third-party company to transport the cars and so he doesn't have much control over when they get picked up and delivered. Now that yours is paid, would not shock me to hear that they will both be on their way in the next couple of days. Never know a Monday pickup might be OK, my issue is that my diary at work fills up well in advance, so getting days off at short notice can be tricky.

mu71rd Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 wouldn't surprise me either. I was told that my car arrived at the dealer yesterday, AND they did the PDI, AND they created the invoice all before 3pm. sounds unlikely to me! let's hope they pull their thumbs out and get our cars over here soon. I sincerely hope I haven't delayed yours but I was as quick as I could be! told Shaun we'd be writing a diary of events on this forum for all the world to see, which made him laugh nervously.

Simonl Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Count yourselves lucky i phoned my dealer this morning, and guess what... still hasn't even be delivered to the port in germany yet. That's 3 weeks since the build week an it's still at the feckin factory. really starting to pis me off now. not blaming the dealer, they have been good TBH, they like me are at the mercy of the factory!!!

scotw Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well hopefully we'll be getting our cars soon Murd, no way that you delayed my car, its all down to Select to get it delivered so any delay waiting for yours is down to them. I haven't told Shaun that we'll be noting our experiences but we certainly will be ! My big prob is that due to the travel it could easily arrive and I won't be able to get to it for a week, a week during which I'll have to read your posts about how great it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotw Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Don't worry LeMan, Murd & I will send you some nice piccys of ours to keep you company while you wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mu71rd Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah well I'll try not to be too annoying if i get mine before you. I'm lucky in that a gap is developing in my work schedule of about a week and a half from the 21st, so not only do I hope I've got it by then but I might even be able to run it in during that time as well. If i go to select and you can't get there - I'll send you some piccies of yours! maybe I'll take her for a little spin to let you know how she drives too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Thats seems mad mate - can't believe our cars both had the same build week and will end up being received at the dealers about 2 - 3 weeks apart!!

mu71rd Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 does that mean it could in fact be on a ship somewhere?! scott - congratulations on 200 posts (when you reply). didn't seem long ago I was on 30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Just spoke to VW customer service. It seems that my car is officially lost. how nice. [/ QUOTE ] Its probably being used as the factory run about for a few weeks, reset the mileage and then send it over. All joking aside I can imagine why your so mad, not a good way to do things especially when you know of a car from the same build week that has arrived ok. Hope it all sorts itself out.

Simonl Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 [ QUOTE ] does that mean it could in fact be on a ship somewhere?! [/ QUOTE ] or maybe the bottom of the ocean. I'm waiting for a phone call.... "We've found your car sir, it was at the dealers all along. Anyway it's now prep'd and redy to go with a full tank of optimax. Oh, we're also very sorry but we accidently added Leather, cruise and Xenons, but have them on us for the inconvenience" ah sweet dreams!!!!!!

Simonl Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 no, spoke to VW customer service about an hour ago. They're speaking to VW sales now (not customer facing) Apparently they have a more up to date tracking system so they are hopefully going to track the fecker down and call me back. IMO it could be anywhere between the factory and Sheerness, as Red said "it's a big black hole!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
