I'm sitting tight waiting for notification that my car has arrived in the UK - which in theory it did on Friday! So close...

The closer it gets the harder it is to wait! Haha.

I'm expecting a 10 day weight between arrival in UK and dealer, then maybe a week between that and the car getting to me...

I got the 5b text on Wednesday morning, but still no 5c text despite several boats coming into Grimbsy last week, and over the weekend - so still no idea whether my car has got to the UK or not.

Although, given the reliability of the tracker (mine missed out the build phase) there's a chance it is actually here.

Much as I'd like the car here now, I still need the DVLA to sort out my registration transfer, and it would be simpler if the car & paperwork all arrived at the same time.

It seems not many are getting a 5c notification. I'd expect yours to be somewhere between port and dealer right now.

Here's hoping...

The salesman did suggest to me that there was a chance it would be here before the end of the month. Desperately need to do some miles in my Audi though, as I stupidly filled up just before I got the 1 week early notification that my car had been built - I've only used 100 miles and I normally get 500 to a tank  :sad:

Just spoke to VW who have said that my car is showing still at Emden, but when the tracker shows 'in transit:shipping' to give them a call and they can tell me what ship it is on. Now, I got that notification Saturday morning, so I'm really hoping that their system hasn't caught up over the weekend.

Just spoken to my dealer, and my GTI is at Emden waiting on a boat - Still expected to arrive in the UK this month, but probably early April before I can take delivery.

Just had the stage 5c shipping text - near the UK. I suspect this actually means 'been put on a boat' as the journey from Emden to Grimsby takes < 24 hours as noted previously.

I'm thinking I'll probably be able to get it the weekend of 5th/6th April, which suits me fine - it's still much earlier than the original planned delivery date  :smiley:
