Splashing out & treating myself to a R, 3dr, black, manual. Ordered it without having even seen one, but since ordering managed to get a drive in one, fantastic.

Doesn't seem many 3dr DBP cars around, I've not seen one in the flesh, all the cars around my way seem to be red, saw 4 of them in the space of an hour on Friday!

Looking forward to seeing a black R with those rear clusters so I know what they'll look like on mine if I decide to upgrade!

On the R forum, there are 16 that have ordered black, Lapiz being most popular colour.

Hi Guys,

I recieved an email this morning saying that the car is on the final stage of the journey to the UK. I gave the dealers a call and apparently it went on the ship yesterday.... Cant wait!!

Does anyone know how to find out which ship the car will be on so that i can track it?

Regards
dBrian

I had similar email this morning as well, probably on  same ship. Cars are normally shipped from Emden, http://www.marinetraffic.com/ website is the one to watch, I had a look yesterday, but could not see anything that appeared to be likely.

City of Sunderland docked at Grimsby earlier today, travelled from Emden and listed as a vehicle carrier. Could be our ship?

Mick,


I think (hope) this was the ship... I see  its now back underway to the Port of Tyne.
Not had another email though.

Hi, just received another e mail update:

Step 6 of 7: Your car has now arrived in the UK and will be delivered to your local Volkswagen Retailer shortly. This normally takes 7 days.

I hope it didn't catch this morning's frost :huh:

Sorry ffrank for overtaking you - didn't you notice when I indicated? I'll get the dealer to look at this under warranty :laugh:

Anyone else had an update or new message from thier dealer?

One of the problems getting the car earlier than expected is paying for it! Does anyone know if dealers talke credit cards and if so, what percetage of the total they let you pay by card?
