I can't find out until Monday. I was just wondering if it had happened to anyone else.

I've just noticed something strange...

On the normal tracker it says: Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 24/08/2015

However, on the e-mail I received from VW and on the Owners section of the website it says: Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing 31/08/2015

 :huh:

I had that issue also, when logged on to the Owners section it was always a week further behind. I was confirmed BW30 and logged in it said BW31, in the end it was built right at the very end of BW30.

The Weser Highway is due to sail for Emden later, docking at 15.00 tomorrow.

That might be picking up cars at Emden for the return leg for anyone waiting on a 5c...

Me too.  Congrats to all those whose cars are on their way.  Look forward to seeing some pics and reading your reviews in the coming weeks.

And even though they are different cars, need something to read and look at whilst I'm waiting for mine.  :whistle:

So where are the GTI's actually built, the volkswagen website is pointless, i've seen everything from Slovakia to South Africa to Iberia.

Who knows?

I'm no expert, but I believe Wolfsburg.
