I was wondering also聽 if it may be something to do with the next phase of RDE as well as an attempt to stimulate sales? Does seem a bit odd that there are shedloads of cars sitting in stock when (allegedly) things are built to order these days and folks on here have waited 6 months or more. From my lurkings on VW Forums I see customers have waited 12 months + for some models. I don't think most Ford's are built to order.聽 Judging by the stuff I see most of, the majority of customers must just go in asking for a dull engine in the most boring spec with the cheapest colour...聽 There's an entire sea of brand new unregistered Ford's in a compound not far from me...I've never seen it half full oddly, always rammed even during September!! I wouldn't have thought most VWs were made to order either though, certainly the ones I've had have rarely had any additional options above the standard spec. I think the only way you can guarantee a new build now is to chose a rare colour or option combo.聽 As you say though, it usually means a long wait and most of us are impatient!聽聽 That's an interesting thought about a fine if they don't pre-register a few, that's definitely an incentive! 1 hour ago, iantt said: I've seen quite a few.

TomsFocus Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Saw another 69 plate Countryman today! The only double I've seen so far...and it's a car I can't understand the appeal of!聽 At least this one was in black though. Also saw a 69 Golf R today...or rather I heard it!! 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not seen it yet, but one of my mates has just bought a new car (Golf), so that's one more. This has come as quite a shock as he's been talking about replacing his Mondeo Mk 4 for ages and even though now exiled in Northumberland has fully retained his Yorkshire reluctance to part with his brass! 聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtulip8 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I saw a white 69 plate Aventador SVJ in Leicester tonight, probably a bit more exciting than a diesel Audi A3 that followed it also on a 69 plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Seen another today. Was driving on the outside lane of a dual carriageway past聽a long line of slow moving nose to tail聽traffic on the nearside, with a聽Kuga an inch from my back bumper. When I was able to safely move over in good time for my exit, he shot forward a couple of yards into the space I vacated聽and then took up the same position behind the next car. When I was able to see the p*****k's numberplate, I noted it was a 69! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I've seen several over the last 3 or 4 days so gave up posting them lol.聽 聽Think Aventador wins for the most exciting spot on here so far though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 As a lot of these reports are based on number of registrations, I wonder how many of the "sales" are in reality still聽sitting on forecourts (like the "pre-reg bargain" VWs I mentioned earlier) waiting for an actual buyer?馃榾 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Spotted four this morning, just round the corner. A Skoda Karoq and SEAT聽Leon on one drive, and a BMW聽X1 and MINI 5 door on another - hard to decide which of the last two was uglier! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I saw a 69 plate Karoq in Tesco yesterday, can't say I'd even heard of it before! 聽 I think the surprise of '69 plates for me so far has to be the Peugeot 508 GT fastback...it looked absolutely fantastic! 馃槷聽 Maybe I'll consider going back to PSA if they depreciate heavily enough! 聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I think the Karoq is meant to be聽the effective replacement for the Yeti. I always liked those, though they never seemed to offer it with the latest spec of VW group engines. I could have fancied one with, say, a Golf GTI motor. I think the Karoq looks ok, but it's just another Tiguan/Ateca clone, not something distinctive like the Yeti was. Agree on the Peugeots - they're turning out some very interesting looking cars lately. Can't get on with the instrument positioning though - you have to look over聽聽the wheel, which is tiny and down in your groin! (I believe they call it i-cockpit?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
