RedRobin Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 I wonder how our friend LeMan is getting on....He's probably had the worst waiting experience and I'm the one who recommended the dealer! Still it's not all down to the dealer it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 ************************UPDATE****************************** Just had a 45 minute converstaion with my Dealer (adam) who is actually being very good at the moment (in light of recent events.) He has a verbal guarantee from VW sales in Milton Keynes that my car will be on a boat next week (pref Tuesday), and will be rushed through Sheerness with absolute priority. Now that means (according to him) that it could be ready as soon as next weekend... if that happens i will be amazed, truely amazed! BUT, lets wait and see shall we, because that will after all, be my 3rd Guarantee! The only problem is, is that i'm flying out to LA to shoot my TV ad soon (which i really can't tell you anything about) and the dates might conflict! man that'll be a choice... Supermodel, GTI, Supermodel, GTI but when all is said and done, what it comes down to is that White Hart is fully responsible for all of this, and must be punished! -Red, bring out the flute!

RedRobin Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Which flute? - I've got 9!! Note that this one is double-barrelled! Btw, I'm not a Bush supporter! There were other flags on stage too. Fingers and everything crossed for you LeMan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 LeMan, I've said it before. If you want to stay here and have use of my car while I go and perve over supermodels for you in LA... then that's fine by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 ....But Kate Moss? Too much on the wild side for my taste. Most of them are too much of a handful. Christy Turlington and Naomi were my favourites. Anyway, LeMan deserves a trip to LA. Here's a tasteful pic of Christy taken in 1999: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTI_Boi Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 [ QUOTE ] Don't forget that in common with many car companies, VW UK are nothing to do with VW. They are effectively an importing outfit. Let's hope you get results now you've got hold of someone on "the inside" Si. [/ QUOTE ] Except that VW in Germany owns VW UK......... Also, stage 7 is the last but one stage and I think means the car is just waiting a few last minute touches before production is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] don't hold your breath mate, it really is incredibly random. Like I said, mine was at Stage 8 for 4 weeks (albiet with a problem) but you'll never know what is holding it up, and that's the frustrating part. As for VW germany owning VW UK, your right, of course. But they do treat them as completrely seperate markets and companies. VW Transport which are tasked with getting the car from the factory to you, is also a seperate company (again adding to the confusion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Red, was your DSG registered by Loders as an Auto or Manual? and what did you insure it as? ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 LeMan, it was registered by me (private plate) before actual delivery and is both registered and insured as an Automatic. Most insurance companies know what DSG is now and term it as Automatic. I asked myself exactly the same questions at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] ....Depending on what fuel you want Loders to fill it with, they don't have an account with the local (within a mile of them) Shell Optimax station, so it's best to ask for £50 cash so you can fill her up. ....For Dorchester, VW ship to Sheerness and then road transporter lorry within 3 days under strict contract. If pushed, Loders should be able to prepare your car within 2-3 days. They owe you their best service BIG TIME!!!! Keep us posted, we are all routing for ya!
