Still waiting for 5b!  It's been a week nearly since 5a.  Maybe it got lost somewhere between Wolfsburg and Emden.  :undecided:

It must be quite random how they generate these build stage notifications. Some people seem to miss 4 and some don't.

Maybe they just noticed it is an English car so they've sent the YTS lad to rummage at the back of the storeroom for the last few sets of Bridgestones?

P Seems despite the cars being built, things continue to be slow.  No change there then!  Hope we aren't going to encounter the backlog at Emden problems there were earlier this year!!

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if you get a call from your dealer to say it has arrived. That tracker is just an instrument of torture that we constantly pin all our hopes on and it craps on us at every turn !!
Sooner they bin it the better  :laugh:

Couldn't have put it better myself JB.  :laugh:

I'm going to email my dealer in the morning.  I have to anyway, to set out in black and white the 'what not to do' instructions for my car.:grin:  Gently peel transport stickers ONLY. PDI it.  No washing of ANY kind. 

He's going to love me.  :laugh:

... leaving 4 black rubber streaks as it's drifted between shipping containers, splashing through salty water puddles en-route to the boat.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Great news Booth... I will follow your progress with great interest as my R (like yours) went to 5b this very morning.

Dealer was expecting mid October delivery so it seems like everything is on track.
