Re: Another... Who is sill waiting? roll call

Yes I have to say, I understand the wait is aggravating and it really, really is. But you have only been waiting since March, that really isn't to bad. I literally picked up mine last week and ordered on the 1st of November. Even worse is poor Ladyroc who ordered end of october and still has not eve...

Re: PICKED UP MY BEASTLY BLACK R TODAY!!

Thanks guys, I am loving it.

Peters - Its a completely different ball game. The power is insane and it feels like it has so much more presence than the GT.

I got my GT when they first came out and it got so many looks and comments. Then that died off. Now with the R its started all over again :)

Scirocco R Protection

Hey Guys

I am collecting her on Friday. Just wondering whether to get the Autoglm done or not, and is it really up to standard or should I get something done elsewhere, I dont really know the ins and outs of detailing.

But I know I want it protected.

Anywhere in London?

Thanks

Re: Fifth Gear - Roc R v Megane RS v Focus RS

Hey spamdog

As you know I had the GT before like you and mine is finally being built next week. Just wondering, you have had a fair bit of time with your R now. Was it worth the swap and the money?? Thanks

Re: An Update on Build Weeks and Delays

Yes I really did give them hell, both to my dealer and customer services. But it was pot luck that the women who took my case on, was able to get my slotted into a priority build week. I have also emailed the customer services in Germany to give them a piece of my mind.

Brownbear I am really happy that yours is finally turning up. Atleast one of us is getting somewhere. Don't believe the bullshit VW feed you because that's all it is. Right from the point of ordering I have been spoonfed bullshit. They act like they are Aston martin. It's really sucked everything ou...
