Traffic jams, congestion didn't bother me as it was more time I could fiddle with the controls and gadgets :D then when the dual carriage ways and ...

Re: New GTI

Re: New GTI

My status has also updated today, jumped from 3 of 7 confirmed build week to 5a of 7, in transit left factory! Excited but wasn't expecting to be that quick, need to sell my other motor now pronto!

I'm guessing still about 3-4 weeks though before collection reading other posts?
