Mine shows the following go figure!

"Your car is on the next stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 3 weeks for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer."

The question that intrigues me is now my car gets to Belfast. If my new toy has arrived in Grimsby today they must have to put the car on a transporter and drive across to the west cost of England. Then ship the transporter to Belfast...

Mine changed too during transit as it goes through the various parts of the journey.

I wonder if that means yours has just got on to the 'EMDEN' at Emden and mine is still sat there waiting. While BW32 mine wasn't built until BW33.

Seems the 4 week message means on the way to Emden, 3 weeks means @ Emden, 10 days means on the boat. There is one loading up now that normally does Sheerness then Grimsby, so fingers crossed!

I think you could be onto something there mate. Bit too much of a coincidence that I've gone from 3 weeks to 10 days on the tracker, just as a ship bound for Sheerness is loading up ('Emden'). If that is correct then its taken roughly 10 days to get from the factory... Probably only two days in reality, but been sat around on the dockside for the other 8 days (just a theory).

Well here's hoping my tracker changes to 'In the UK' by the end of the week.
