Indeed! I think the detailing section and the main suppliers are going to get a bit busy in the coming weeks!

Won't be picking mine up until the end of June though as I think it will land at dealership while I'm out of the country!

Still waiting on 5c, City of Rome is due into Emden tomorrow and City of Paris is due in on Friday so i dont think my car will be in the UK until monday or tuesday.

Hopefully a week to the dealers after that.

How could mine have got here before yours? Pretty sure yours was sat at Emden before mine was even built!

probably went to Grimsby instead of Tyne. Monkeyhanger's R had been sitting at Emden since Adam was a boy so i havent a clue how they work it.

Just checked Port of Tyne arrivals and there are 3 ships due in the next 6 days 30th/31st/2nd so it must be on one of those.

Monkeyhanger how did you get on with Ronald yesterday?

Diehammer: He never called. Maybe he made an executive decision based on the fact that he had no news for me. I will be ringing him today. Still no stage 6, 6 days after the car landed at Tyne. Something fishy may be going on. Never in 7 cars have I had a new VW arrive at Tyne take more than 36 hours to clear customs. This period is as quiet as it gets for car shipments into the UK - right between March and Sept for the new plates.

Has it had a bump?

At least your dealer has confirmation that its there. I have been waiting a week for a 5c now but the City of Amsterdam was the last Emden to Tyne so probably just missed that (I have no idea how many cars these ships can carry, they also look like they pick up Volvo's in Sweden). I am getting impatient now because i know it is so close.

Called Ronald at 1:30pm and he was "on the other phone". A colleague of his took my name and number and said he'd call back....he didn't.

Around 3pm, I got an email from my dealer, he provided me with a screen dump of his system, showing that as of today, the car officially entered port of Tyne ("PoEn" - port of entry, must mean it has cleared customs to be officially recognised as being in the country), as you can clearly see that it shipped on the 20th of May. He said he was checking status hourly to see when it changes to being booked into the compound (compound entry field is still blank). As soon as it has done that then he can come get it with a flatbed rather than waiting for VWUK's delivery agents to send it.
