Seeing these quick builds of 12 days into the UK makes me very optimistic. I am hoping mine follows a similar time line, will be in the UK 17th December then

If yourAudi is to be believed (some of the dates are a bit weird on mine), mine's less than 12 days, so there's more hope for you guys Maybe there's a pre-end-of-quarter ramp up in production? Mine was scheduled for build week 48, but according to the below got produced at the end of week 47, put on the African Highway ship on the Saturday, which arrived on the Sunday morning.

Welcome @DrMal
Plenty of fellow Scots on here.
Friendly forum with a good bit banter thrown in.
More info about your car would be good.
That's some first drive, must be one of the furthest for owners in the U.K.
Just a pity you've got a long wait, but it'll definitely be worth it.
Check out Pages 5 & 94 where there's some good helpful posts.
Basically log on to yourAudi, open another browser and click on the link on the pages above and it'll give you reams of data including your status codes and the full spec of the car.

Yours is exactly the same as mine. I spoke to my dealer today and they can't give me a date yet. Any news on your delivery date? Cheera
Thanks Audi Bairn. Yes, it's a good 400-ish miles back from where my folks live in Suffolk back to Edinburgh, but it'll be a good opportunity to run it in and get used to driving it. I used online brokers to find a couple of dealerships who were clearly looking to hit their sales targets in September, then played one off against the other. It was a fluke that the best price was from Kings Lynn, but with delivery in December it actually works out pretty well.Welcome @DrMal

You asked about specs. Well, when I worked in automotive I was head of system and software safety for one of Bosch's competitors, so I have a healthy suspicion for driver aids! In fact, Volvo did some research that showed that some of the assistance systems make a driver less attentive. Anyway, as a result, the options are a bit limited. On 23rd we'll be collecting:
3-door S-Tronic in Navarre blue
Without model designation
Auto-dim RVM+Light/Rain Sensor
Technology pack advanced (mainly for the virtual cockpit)
High-beam assist
Audi Parking System Plus
Auto-dimming rear-view mirror
Door mirrors- Heated/Dimming/Folding
Planning on getting it detailed at Mint Car Care when I get back. Had hoped to get it done before the journey back, but it's too close to Christmas to get it sorted.
Good man, Navarra......... it's awesome!
I also went for the Tech Pack advanced for the VC too and its great.
Will be good to hear how your order is progressing and how you get on with the road trip.
African Highway is about to dock! The dealer almost seemed concerned about the info I had on the logistics, so thank you all that have contributed. He tells me it should be ready for collection end of next week (he's a personal friend so I'm hoping I'm not being fed sales schpeil"

Just as an FYI, any of you guys waiting for your car to be delivered, my guy just told me that Audi UK sent out a memo to say that any cars that make their way to U.K. Port from now until Christmas will be delivered to dealer in no more than 7 days. So get onto your dealers guys and hassle!!

nice one @Muhammad_Bradley good bit of inside info and reassurance for the guys who do actually have their car expected to arrive in the next 3 weeks!
The only thing I can see holding mine up then is the shipping from Germany to UK, I really do hope I will get my car before the new year, that would be just fantastic for me
That ties-in with what my dealer told me today. They're expecting delivery next week, at which point the two weeks I'm going to have to wait until we collect the car is going to be painful. At least the complimentary five day Audi insurance is arranged which will get me past Boxing Day.
We're buying this initially on a PCP (although we'll probably keep the car after three years). Anyone recommend a provider of GAP insurance? Do you arrange it before delivery, or just afterwards?

The shipping was the bit that "slowed" mine down. Seemed to take about 14 days for it to get on the boat. Fingers crossed for you all
Yeh if that happens to mine then no chance of me getting it this year, so just major fingers crossed if it goes to panel tomorrow!!
To give you an idea, here's my timeline.

Like any insurance, you want to be covered from the day you collect.
Many insurers will replace new for old in year one if written off but you want the GAP to cover the balance of any finance to return the invoice value.
Signed for the car today and retained my plate! Dealership has said the retention must go on the new one within 3days but considering the car is still at port it isnt great news from that side! Soon as the car hits newport prep itl be here within 24 hours so im hopeful for a monday pickup, if not monday looking at end of next week!!
Uk Ports! Why its sat there since 22nd! That could be the only hold up for you guys looking forward to a xmas delivery ! Good luck all!

Phone call this morning, paperwork at lunchtime, collection tomorrow. 
Order on the 19th September so about 10 weeks in all. Longest bit (or perhaps more the bit I was the most impatient during!) transport from Germany to the dealer.

Nice one mate.
Why must h plate go on within 3 days? I don't understand this. If you've registered the new car with its "normal" plate and your private plate is on retention then you have up to a year before applying it to a car or renewing the retention.
Looking good mate. Sure it will have been worth the wait.
FYI
I'm sure the salesman gets notified every time the video is watched! A citnow video was posted over on BabyBMW sure the OP said the salesman got hundreds of notifications lol.
Also ordered 19th september, they haven't even started building it yet! LolPhone call this morning, paperwork at lunchtime, collection tomorrow.

No need to renew retention now, pay the £80 to take plate off and it can stay on retention for 10yrs.

Sarcasm is hard on a forum ;)
Regarding GAP, go for Gap123 or ALA and I'd recommend a replacement car policy rather than return to invoice as you'll be covered for price increases. Plenty GAP threads though, search is your friend

How come?
I ordered mine 10th Sept and have had my car almost 2 weeks
I guess I am just unlucky lol didn't spec anything crazy either.
Went to status 21 this morning though, so progress is being made
Same as me mate
hopefully Billy is too for the Hatrick!!Mines was ordered in the 16th September. This could explain different delivery times despite when the cars were ordered.
How can I get quicker delivery?
Delivery times can vary between dealers. Each dealer will be allocated a certain amount of factory build slots which can occasionally be amended. For example, your local Audi dealer may have ordered an Audi A3 Sportback they were planning to use as a demonstrator – they could offer to sacrifice its build slot for you so you can modify their planned specification and get your car ahead of schedule.

Hi All,
Placed my order 29 October and was given the 27th Feb build date.
It has now moved forward by one week when is the usual cut off point for it to stop having any chance of moving forward?
Cheers
