Anyone else got a GTD due for delivery in June / July?

It's a 3 horse race at the moment and I'm whipping like there's no tomorrow!

I will be watching the "city of Amsterdam" ship come in today and i'll ask my next-door neighbour to keep an eye out for my dad's car - he's a gaffer at Tyne dock - he sees a lot of Nissans going out and a bit of everything coming in.

If he sees a black one with big wheels then it's mine!!

Has anyone got delivery of a GTI yet?

Mine is in transit, not sure if it is on the ship yet, but supposed to get it late July/ early august :-)

If it's in transit I think you'll be easily getting it within 2 weeks.

That would be great, my dealer asked me to send my retention document this week, so I am hoping that means it is close to arriving

No tracker update for my dad's yet, but not really suprising - if it was on last night's "City of Amsterdam" arrival at Tyne dock then I don't suppose there'd be any tracking update until the administrators of the tracker come into work this morning (if they even do an update on it today). Chances are it could be at the dealership before the tracker updates to "arrived in the UK".

As always, ringing up VW UK or waiting for your dealer to ring you is probably the way to go.

Hoping that my dad's GTD will be on the "City of Rome" ship loading up in Emden now, bound for port of Tyne to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

As of yesterday VW UK could confirm it was still sat dockside, thumbing a lift, but couldn't say when it would be getting shipped. Useless! The ships serving Emden to port of Tyne seem to be on an 11ish day cycle, so after "City of Rome" there'll be a week or so wait until the next ship is doing the rounds between Emden and port of Tyne.

Will they confirm it if makes the ship?

Will they confirm it if makes the ship?

I will ty them tomorrow morning - they'll have had a whole 24 hours if it did get on. VW tracking/planning is useless. Surely they have a plan for what ship it will get on, hope the y don't randomly pick it for a ship that comes in.

Agree they are useless!!!  Commercially You would have thought that they would try and get an initial amount of vehicles into countries as soon as possible to help boost sales by the new owners advertising them!!!  I'm away until the end of next week so pressures off for me but based on perfomance I don't think It will be at least another 2 weeks before I get my hands on it......still sooner than most!!!
