Yours has been quite fast.
I was the build week before you and I've just come out of the 5c stage to stage 6 arrived in the UK.



its always 'city of' cars that bring the VW's into the Tyne as they dock on the north side where there are car storage facitlites

the really massive hough car transporters dock on the south side of the tyne where Nissan do their storage..easy to spot on google maps!


Not sure it was the City of Barcelona that brought my car in then as it is currently docked on the south side

Ahhhh! Just logged on to the tracker and my "confirmed" build week has changed from 22nd of Feb to the 29th!
Talking to my dealer yesterday about transit times and he said, as others have, that it depends on whether the car catches the current boat, or has to wait for the next one, as they are 3 weeks apart.

My build week has also changed from the 22/02 to 29/02  :sad:

Hi MattCupra - ordered a 5 Door GTI PP the day before you and also been pushed back to w/c 29th! This wait is killing me... Did you order yours from Trust Wolverhampton?

Hi Multijim,

Yeah ordered from Wolverhampton.  Had to wait 5 months for the GTD so 2.5 months for the GTI isn't too bad.

Why does it take so long to ship a car a few miles?
That Ist March hand over was a proper pipe dream :angry:
