Does anyone know how long it is after placing an order at the dealer before the order is actually placed with VGA/VAG?

I pick up the GTI on Friday after 7 months and two weeks of waiting!
Time taken for the car to leave the boat (Port Melbourne), clear customs and have the accessories fitted will be 16 days so not too bad.
Thanks to Gavs and GTI mk6 for all the advice!!!
Roll on Friday!!!!!!!!
Hope you got that pre delivery check list from Gavs?
Hope delivery goes well, would love some feedback, along with where you end up with your run in drive.
My order has not budged from dealer spec after 5.5 mths, although still being told on track for April '12 delivery.
Look forward to your post delivery postCurrent ride..MY10 Golf MkVI GTI | 5 dr | CW | < DSG >| Leather| Dynaudio | Sensors | Tint | R tails

It seems that sometime about April-May 2011 delivery times on GTI's blew way out.

Meant to be a bit damp tomorrow mate, when you take the run through the main ridge area, she can get a bit greasy, even in the dry coz of all the farm run-off, as I found out once.....sigpic

*I've had a smile on my face for the past 24 hours!! *The car is just as much fun as I remember. Friday had perfect weather for the run in. I went around Red Hill and did the running in procedures there and it was so much fun. Sports mode is just too good!
I took run up Arthurs Seat as well and on the way down I did notice a noise / shudder as I breaking hard and took a corner. I was in Manual mode of the gearbox so I don't know if the car was just confused. Anyone experienced that?? I felt it through the brake peddle.*
The car was perfect inside and out when I picked it up although the parking sensors were all scratched up so they are going to fix it. Some other things I've noted that don't seem to be working:
- Auto locking of doors doesn't happen after 15km/h
- Optical Parking Sensors don't come up on the RCD-510 screen so they need to fix that
Other questions I had:
- Does the climate control details come up on the RCD-510? It does in the Amarok but that's the RNS-510.*
- Can the coming home lights feature be turned on?
All in all, very happy so far! *Still getting used to the DSG in Drive mode (just not as responsive off the mark) so I think the sports mode will be used for while! *
Let's hope the running in helps the oil consumption but the dealer told me to come back at any time and they will top up the oil if need be.*

Barloworld Glen Waverley has a GTI (5dr/Flash Red/Xenons/Sunroof/Leather/Comfort/Audio) available if anyone was interested?
They told me it was still available (which was surprising) when I picked mine up last Friday.MY12 6R Polo GTI 5Dr/Candy White/Bi-Xenons/Panoramic Sunroof/Comfort/Audio/Parking Sensors/Tint
