R32 is here

Wow, that was quite fast. Mine was unloaded the same time. It's been 11 days and the dealer still hasn't gotten back to me, not sure if it's still on the docks. What could be causing the hold up?

VW dealers seem to do things at their own pace.....ring them and annoy the crap out of them, get them off their backsides!

I didn't hassle him, but I did say that I wanted to see it as it came off the truck. He also knew that I knew where it was....

Congrats, Mate. In case you haven't figured it out ... I'M GREEN WITH ENVY.

And here it is, as it came off the truck. Planning on delivery next Friday.



Blue with latte leather, DSG and sunroof. There was another one there from the same delivery, that was identical apart from the interior colour....it was grey.

I called past the docks around lunchtime and noticed a crowd of wharfies tray sliding your car with massive donuts, round & round & round...


not really

Congratulations on your new ride - really nice colour combo (I'm suppressing jealousy here!)

Should it not come wrapped to protect it from the elements while shipping or something?

I wouldn't want the dust and stuff from shipping to cause any swirl marks to a brand new car when they go to first clean it.

The paint usually has a layer of wax over it (to protect the paint) that is removed before delivery.

I think some manufacturers used to use a thick wax on cars to protect the cars finish.

I work for suzuki and in my experience that doesnt happen, at least not by the time it gets to our dealership off a truck.

When the cars arrive off the boat from Japan i can use a tracking website and it does mention if the trucking wash has been completed or not. If at any stage there is a thick wax, it would more than likely be removed there because as i mentioned, when the cars arrive to us they do not have that on there.

What they do have is plastic covering the roof, bonnet, boot, parts of the bumper etc.

Every new car is given a very good clean with various products and given a soft wax.

Well, just talking to the missus. She picked up the R32 today. I'm really jealous as I'm o/s and won't get home until the middle of next week.

Congrats on the new machine, hope you can prise your missus out of it when you return!

Hi Guys,
Ordered my R32 yesterday and told delivery of March 2008. I'm sure it's worth the wait.
