Forgot to mention I called the Vw Executive office/centre.

Was on hold then got cut off. Called back some snotty basket refused to check. Fobbed me off. He said he would email ground support and come to me tomorrow.

I also forgot to mention he was t best pleased that I had the number. So I said would it help if I made s complaint to one of the directors. I told him I'm a solicitor by trade (by 6 days mind) and if a client of mine has the hump I listen and fix so far as possible. I don't fob them off.

I asked him a logical question to which a silence Was the reply.

I asked if you confirmed my BW in June/ July and the Car was allocated BW 34. All this vw can do but they can't Pre empt completion of the build and secure a shipping space why is that and I also said please don't  say delays because you knew from when the factory first closed in the summer that upon reopening you would be facing a 10 day to 2 week delay you could have booked all the cars subject to delays at the point they entered the build process.

Your system is flawed. Was my parting line.

I now look forward to a call. If my car is not on a ship to Grimsby, Tyne or sheerness then I 'advised' that there would be problems, as tomorrow will be the 9th day of sitting at Emden.

He also said he had emailed customer contact about two other people only to be told by the relevant department that they have not been allocated shipping slot yet. Complete and utter tripe.

The 'African Highway' is due in this evening at Sheerness.  This came from Emden so some of you chaps may have been on this boat.  Or like me, you probably weren't on this boat!  :laugh:

The Autorunner has just left Emden for Sheerness :smiley:

You can track it's location in realtime http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/default.aspx?mmsi=255802860&centerx=7.133517&centery=53.33245&zoom=10&type_color=7

Fingers crossed some of our trackers change to '10 days' overnight!

Sat waiting for call from dealer, according to him even though we are near to Grimsby it's not forced to be on a ship heading there.
