To cut a long story short, Lee (Evo1986) contacted me first thing last Monday to tell me my GTI was in port in the UK and it should have hit the dealer on Friday just gone.
Fingers crossed (and subject to a tree falling on it if the forecast hurricane arrives knowing my luck!!!) it should be ready to pick up first thing Wednesday.


So after months and months of looking forward to it arriving I now need to venture out and start getting my much loved mk6 ready once I get a break in the rain, find the paperwork and start reading up on what I need to know pre-collection.
Not sure whether I feel really happy the new one has arrived or really sad that the old one is going...

This boat has now arrived in Emden from Grimsby - let's hope it's going back again soon with our cars on!

Probably Grimsby as well then? That'd be my guess, may be worth a call to the dealer to find out.
