The CS-S delivery thread

[12-R]

Just spoke to the dealer. The css is on a ship and is due into Tyne docks today at some point.
Should have better idea i'm informed by friday, on a delivery date to the dealers.
So hopefully anybody else from Scotland or the North of England waiting might be in luck as well.

I can't see any car carrying ship heading from Tyne from Emden right now.
The Neckar Highway is Emden and just leaving for Grimsby.

I think VW are a bit flexible about which port your car lands at, my friends CS came to the Midlands via Sheerness

Never in 8 new VWs have I had a car supplied at a Tyne and Wear dealership that didn't come through Tyne port, everything Teesside and North of it should be coming into Tyne as a general rule.

I can see the ships coming in from my living room window, usually averages 5 ships a fortnight (a rotation of 3 "city of [insert city here]" ships) bringing VWs from Emden and picking up Nissans made at Sunderland.

TOMORROW....TOMORROW....TOMORROW

Collection day 

Viper - Did you get it - whats it like ... "anticipation" 

No of course not

If anything was gonna go wrong it will

Load of old crap but my dealer called me first thing this morning to report that the transporter had issues because of the cold weather and probably wont be delivered to them until end of today.

That's no good to me now because it's booked in all day tomorrow for PPF ready for me to spray it's underside with ACF50 friday morn and off to Silverstone PM for track day at Silverstone Saturday

So I said that's NFG and I might as well not take it until new year

Viper - I don't think VW will be going down this low volume limited edition route for some time ... they are obviously more used to high volume cars ... You must be so annoyed !!

That's only 8 cars out of hundreds of thousands sold in your area over that period so doesn't really prove that some cars might come from Grimsby.
Is it possible the ship goes to Grimsby first then Tyne?

From what I've observed, they all seem to dock at Emden in the morning, fill up during the day then sail over night, unloading on the following day and returning to Emden overnight again.

The Tyne ships unload at Tyne from Emden, pick up Nissans, drop them up in Helsinki, back to Tyne, pick up more Nissans, drop them in Amsterdam and then head back to Emden for more VAGs. When waiting 8.5 months for my R, I spent a fair bit of time looking up marine traffic. 

The shipping process is as efficient as it can be, they will do their utmost not to send a Tyne-Tees or Scottish VW over from Hull or Sheerness.

There is a high risk that we will all experience the frustration caused by the marketeers selling us a car on how special it is but then being treated from delivery onwards (and seemingly before then) just like every other punter and it's made worse by having paid full whack unlike nearly every other car they've sold.

Hopefully it wont happen...
