I’ve just had my first sight of mine being unwrapped, pick up next week from order date first week in April.

I’ve never seen one on the road to date and I’m up and down to Glasgow area all the time.

OU812?

Picked mine up last week and the dealer said i was lucky as they only had 1 ex-demo for sale and after that they were out. Any new orders will be a 2019 delivery. Should be a rare car for the rest of the year.

Matches my experience, I picked up mine 3 weeks ago. Dealer told me if I was placing a factory order today (31st May 2018) then it would be Dec/Jan delivery and that it would NOT be a face lifted 2019 car.
It is hypothetical for me as I ordered (factory) in March, got a build date 2 weeks later and it was delivered (end of) May but it is what the salesman told me.

Changes to the A4 platform (and probably emissions issues lol)means it may be 2019 before I get my car :audibash:

Need to go test drive one and see if its worth the wait. If there are emissions issues in there as well will it end up being a 420bhp RS4 :thumbsdown:

Hmmm, what to do now??

RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though

Well the Golf R power has been cut back - albeit only by 10bhp.
