BW 41ers

[LJS7]

Ditto, spoke to dealership yesterday and they had the chassis number and confirmed it was at Emdem Port. Not long to go.....hopefully

Haha it could be ages. I think mine will come in the Port of Tyne. What about yourself?

They don't normally hang around Emden for long if they're going to Tyne. North East dealers generally get delivery within 4 working days ofarriving at Tyne too. If it's at Emden and headed for Tyne you're probably about 10 days from ownership.

Again i hope so mate. I saw the big red gtd on sunday i think; near asda metro centre. I'm going to assume it was you as they're so rare.

Spoke to my dealer today, waiting in Emden for a ship to Grimsby. Once it's in the UK, I should have it within days they have said.

Anyone else with a car being shipped to Grimsby?

Mine will be going to Grimsby.... hopefully end of November or early December providing there are no delays

Excellent!

Any ideas how I go about this 'ship tracking' lark?

Some great info on boat tracking in this thread: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=258683.0

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 4 weeks.. it's on it's way to Emden...

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 3 weeks.. it's at Emden waiting for a boat...

If the tracker says "In transit" blah... 10 days.. it's on a boat!

Looking at this - I may be wrong here, but anyone with a car current in Emden that's due to be shipped to Grimsby the relevant ship can be tracked here:-

The vessel at time of writing it current in Grimsby and due to be in Emden again on Friday. Going on a 2 day turn-around, we should be moving to the UK from Emden again on Sunday/Monday.

Some other ships to keep an eye on are Weser Highway (currently in dock at Emden and due to sail to Grimsby), Neckar Highway (currently on way back from Grimsby to Emden) and Autorunner (seems to call in at Grimsby amongst other stops).

Great Info! Thanks Neil_MK!

No probs - my BW40 has been at the 'In Transit/3 weeks' stage for the past week, so I've become a bit of a ship spotting nerd

Mine also, but I was B/W 41. Hoping for some movement in the next few days. However, reading some reports on the forum, some people have had their cars sitting at Emden for over 3 weeks before there is space on a ship! :-(

Had a voicemail today from the dealer. My car came into the Port of Tyne at some point today, probably on the City of Amsterdam, so hopefully i should have it soon. Excited.
