The other is the Panama to Grimsby, which is on the loading quay at the moment. I'll have to put my thinking cap on to see if I can discover which it would be  :smiley:

If you go to www.marinetraffic.com and search for Vessel 'AUTOPRESTIGE' you can see it currently waiting in the port at Emden. :smiley: (I may have become slightly obsessed)

Mine is going to the port of Grimsby, where the vessel 'PANAMA' has just left port, due to arrive at 3pm tomorrow.  Wonder if my car is on that one, given it was on the way to port last Monday, and still shows as in transit?  No rush  :grin:

This is the point where the tracker went a bit wonky for me. The car sat in transit for just over three weeks and remained that way even after the car had been delivered to the dealer  :huh:

Feel like a big kid  :smiley: mine isn't at Emden yet so hoping the boat doesn't leave before it gets there

Very true, and it's nice to be back into happy thought territory!  Properly looking forward to it now, as I'm sure almost everybody will be regardless of how rocky the road might have been :)

Exactly! Sounds like the next few months will see an explosion of GTI's arriving on these shores. They are definitely beginning to come through now  :smiley:

You probably won't know which ship your car will get on. From waiting at Emden, 3 ships came to Emden and went to Port of Tyne in about a week before my dad's GTD got on the fourth ship.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
