Well, at least you're in a better position than me!

Tracker still says Scheduled for production week commencing 18/05.

Hopefully it will jump to Stage 5, but with the dodgy e-mail from my dealer I sense something is up!

It drops to a week when you get your 5c.

The City of Sunderland is doing the rounds again on the 26th of May - fingers crossed for that one.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

It is 5 on the tracker, but if you signed up for text or email alerts on the tracker page with your mobile number/email address, you get your stage 5 broken down into specifics:-

5a – left Wolfsburg for Emden
5b – arrived at Emden, waiting to get booked on a ship (usually a day after 5a)
5c –Has gotten onto a ship (could be 7-25 days after 5b, you’ll likely get it the morning after the ship set off with your car)

Noticed that the African Highway is in Emden just now but i dont think Northern cars will go there, also looking at expected date of arrival in Grimsby 30th May  :shocked: I would be better being on the next one to Tyne

Tyne only for anything North of North Yorkshire, your car won't be on it.

Excellent your car is now on its way to the Emden car park to join mine. I usually get my updates by 9am so it looks like i missed the City of Amsterdam.

I have seen people say that they have went from 5b to 6 though so i am waiting to hear if Monkeyhanger got his stage 6 today as his R was on that ship, don't know if you get this as soon as it clears customs or if it will be the next again day. Do they even send updates on a Saturday?
