New GTi Owner

[GT 12 WA]

Hi Guys,
Just found the site so I thought I'd introduce myself. Currently waiting on a 3dr GTi that I ordered in March. Hoping it arrives by mid June as I'm hanging out to drive it. It'll be a bog standard manual in black.

Just sold my 2001 WRX to get something more refined (and German ). Not really planning on doing anything to it as I'm sharing it and a modded 05 WRX with my girlfriend.

Look forward to adding some pics in the not to distant future.

Cheers

Yeah, wasnt too sure of black but the only other colour I liked with the Golf was the red, and our WRX is red so didnt want another one.
You'd be surprised how many black cars are here in the west anyway so it cant be that bad can it?!!

Any comments on the performance of VW air cons?! I'd expect it to be good. I know Merc ones are.

Its been 9 weeks tonight since I ordered it. When I checked at 6 weeks it had been built and was probably waiting for the ship, so I'm hoping it wont be much longer than a 12 week wait.

Welcome GT. Great choice of car for you mate. Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it, we are a friendly bunch here.
The wait for you sounds like a short one compared to most of us GTi owners here. It is well worth it though, believe me!!!!

Not you too!! im also waiting on a black GTI, Im in week 3 now and i was told end of July. its killing me the wait, well like all you GTI owners have been saying 'its worth the wait'.

Cant wait to see some pics!

Because you're new I'll cut you some slack ... but from now on, it's a capital "I" for GTI.

My wait seemed to last for ages - it was meant to be 11 weeks, but it ended up comng in early - only 8 weeks. But mine was already on a boat when I bought it.

Definittely worth the wait. 1st time in years that I went out for a drive just for the hell of it.

I just can't wait till I have a spare weekend to take it for a proper run. Something like the putty road is looking good at the moment

Please ... no one tell Floody that someone has used the dreaded lower-case "i". SSSssshhhh ... not a word.

Hi all,
I have just recieved my VIN number and have found out my car was discharged at Sydney on the 22/5, i was first told my car would arrive in august, then july and now next month.

Does anyone know how long it might take my car to arrive in melbourne to be picked up?

Im starting to really get excited!!

[angry shot]

that's odd - i am pretty sure the boat from the Fatherland comes via South Africa, Perth, Melbourne then Sydney. So it should have come off a Melbourne.

Here's the details for my R32 - it was built 1 Apr

In fact on Friday i saw a Patricks car carrying truck drive past in the city - hanging on the back were two R32s - one gray one blue. I think i said "oh come on - that's not fair to show me that"
