Just had a call from Dave at vweo who informs me that he had now taken 'ownership' of my 'complaint'.

He said that the car sits at Emden for 15 days before they prioritise for shipping. That does not mean that it is shipped on the 15th day. My car has been sat there from 3rd it's 15 days expire on wed 18 it is at this point that vw will prioritise for shipping until then it just sits there.

He has said that rather than wait until next wed he has asked for it to be prioritised now and put on a ship asap.

So now we find out they leave cars sitting for the 15 when they think o crap it's been here for 15 days lets get it a shipping slot. All rather amature to me. Dave has promised to call me on tues with an updating.  That being said he hopes for it to ship before then.

Have you seen the place on Google maps!!?? The amount of cars is nuts!!

Woah.  Thats a lot of cars.  I haven't found mine yet but I plan to spend the rest of the work day looking for it. :wink:

Seems to be some wind turbines too:

Just had the exact same phone call with the very same David - see my other thread!  Hopefully we'll both be on ships Mon/Tues.

That'll be the transport covers though I guess.

I spent a while looking for the "red lot" too before it occurred to me.  Actually if you look again near the north of the port there seems to be a batch of red ones.  You can see the sides where there are no covers from the angle the photo is taken.

Look just north west of this: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/preview?hl=en#!q=Kanadische+Stra%C3%9Fe+10%2C+26723+Emden%2C+Germany&data=!1m4!1m3!1d1356!2d7.1818522!3d53.3435613!2m1!1e3!4m10!1m9!4m8!1m3!1d66!2d7.1807724!3d53.3444052!3m2!1i1488!2i527!4f35&fid=7

Their is a flaw in your image logic!

Google Maps satellite images are not updated in real time, but rather they are several months or years old.

My Hertfordshire dealer has informed me that mine is on its way.
Yippee should have it within a couple of weeks.
Me or Mark first?
