Hey Griffo, welcome to the forum dude. Week 11 build week, that's not too far away.

Where are you buying your car from? Bought mine from Sincairs in Neyland so assume you're the same. Looks like you're buying the same spec as mine. Great stuff you won't be disappointed.

I'm often down in Pembs so will have to look out for you unless you see me first!

[Griffo]

Yeah ordered with Sinclairs. Did they look after you alright. Seem to be pretty good up till now. But then they would be to get my hard earned cash. Not too many Roccos around this way at the moment. Can't wait to get mine now. First time I saw 1 I just stood there staring mouth open and started drooling. Can't wait to see others do the same as I drive past

[jonc]

Sincairs were fine with me. Are you having any dearler fit options when it arrives in the UK? I had cruise fitted at the dealer and they managed to get my steering wheel on skew so didn't line up straight in dead ahead position. So the car was back in the workshop 12 hours after picking it up! Fair dos, they did sort it there and then. I only mention this in case you are having something done, just check it thoroughly before driving off.

Who are you dealing with in the dearlership?

The Scirocco certainly brings in a few admiring stares which I just love! Had one teenage girl and her boyfriend ask me what car it was when I parked up at Tescos one time. I told her and she said it was 'lush'! Mind you it did cross my mind as to whether it was still there when I finished in Tescos!!

Well if you see me down West Wales - Pembroke town in particular and sometimes H'west - give me a shout or flash your lights. Would be happy to give you the low-down. Planning to be there from friday this week for the weekend.

[Griffo]

Will be keeping an eye out for you. If you see a black mk iv golf chasin after you you know who it is

[Griffo]

Been told today that probable pick up date is now 24th April instead of 28th May what a result

[jonc]

Wow, that's great news. Defo a great result....and just in time to enjoy it as the weather improves.

Didn't see you down in Pembs last weekend. Next trip likely to be Easter.

[Griffo]

Were you in Hweston sat morning bout 10 saw a White Scirocco but couldn't keep up with it cause of traf lights

[jonc]

Yes we were were. Came in to Hwest via Cleddau Bridge and parked in leisure Centre cos we go to the gym there. Could well have been me you saw. Pity I didn't realise you might have been about.

[Griffo]

If your down over easter Jonc I will look out for you. Should be picking mine up either thursday or friday
