How to track the car you have ordered?

[AdamD]

Yeah - this has me puzzled too. All Golf R's come standard with the Talladega's and there is no other option. The only way you can change your R wheel is via dealer accessories, which means they'd still have Talladega's on them at the shipping grounds.

Aren't vehicles often shipped with wheel covers/protectors fitted? If so, you'd be hard-pressed to pick the design of the rim anyway...

[Darren]

Yes you're correct (my apologies) all do come standard with Talladega's...What I should have said was the Black 19 inch - which is an option. BTW none were with wheel covers or protectors...

Dazza,
How many R's came off the boat?
10, 20, 50????????????

[Darren]

No idea.....The lady didit know....But there was 850 odd VW's..

[fergus]

Darren, can you please clarify my earlier query re what you said about "Blue GTI's"

What I said was: " So does the navy blue GTI's & GTD's." So they must have been GTD's then....

Small mercy!!

Woohoo! My R is through production and I have just been given the VIN number by my dealer. Tried the VIN number but it hasn't popped up on the ship tracking website yet so hopefully it will soon and then the beast is the way over here! As Big Kev used to say, IM EXCITED!

The Torrens is now on the website. Currently 295.5NM west of Freo....running the high seas at 17.9knots. 14hrs until docked (she's running ahead of time)

..... and the Faust is minutes away from docking in Port Kembla after going around in circles for 2 hours due to the heavy rain .....

Anyway the clocks ticking now to see when the dealers will handover.

My dealer rang me today. I'm going to buy them a t-shirt that says "it will be 2-3 weeks"! Promise long, deliver short that's what I'm hoping for...

Great news mate

+1 I'm hoping for the same, I've hired a car as I sold mine the other day and have to say that after 3 weeks in a Camry the R is going to be heaven!

The GTD is offered in the same colours as the GTI, and blue is not available.

Must've been TSIs, TDIs or Rs, but my money's on the latter - Rising Blue is the only darker blue currently available on any Golf in Australia. Unless VWA has another announcement to make soon.

[Corey_R]

Heh, yeah, so much confusion over what is and isn't at that port of Melbourne

I'd hardly call rising blue "dark" though....
I wouldn't even call the R32's blue a dark blue, and rising bue is even lighter than that!

But you're right. There are no navy blue Golf's in the MK6 lineup

[MattD]

I just got off the phone with the dealership, and they told me that the car will be ready december, possibly mid Jan! (they said that compliance company closes 20th dec)... They initially told me 30 Nov delivery... I ordered on the 9/07...

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?
