Re: New GTI + delivery

Never thought buying a car would be this much hassle. For my first buying experience it's been horrible. From the sound of things and bank holidays coming up I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be another month of waiting. It would be quicker to drive to Germany and pick the bloody thing up. Ha, I was...

Re: New GTI + delivery

Wonder if there's any chance that our cars are in the UK but the app just hasn't updated...

Wishful thinking?

Re: New GTI + delivery

Glovis Crown has docked at Vigo. How long do they tend to hang around before leaving for their next destination? Also, has anybody looked at Vigo or Emden on Google maps and zoomed in? So many many many cars. The Glovis Spring was in Vigo for around 9 hours before heading to Emden. https://www.mysh...

‘Your car is still in Germany awaiting a ship to the UK’
So 9 days waiting for a boat.
No update this morning. Mine has been in Emden since last Saturday.

Got a feeling it'll be stuck at Grimsby for a while as well, when it eventually arrives. :roll:

Been told by my dealer mine is getting off at Grimsby, hope it was on that ship.

The tracker updated last Saturday so hopeful it could do the same tomorrow...

Re: New GTI + delivery

Same as you Chris.

My tracker updated on the 6th to 'Your vehicle is on the next stage of its journey to the UK'. No idea if it's been put on a ship though.

Mine was on the Glovis Spring.

Re: New GTI + delivery

Just found out that mine is on the Glovis Crown which is due into Emden on the 14th April. Yawn....some more waiting. Looked a bit closer at the details of the Glovis Crown and it is heading for Vigo in Spain. Seems a little unusual. The Glovis Spring did the same. It went to Emden after Vigo which...

Does anyone know why Glovis spring is now heading to Bremerhaven from Emden. I am just guessing it is carrying cars ? I thought from Emden it was straight over to UK ??
Car gets off at Emden and then put onto another ship bound for the UK.

Re: New GTI + delivery

Spoken to my dealer and he seems to think my car headed for a ship around the 13th March but was unable to say which one. Has anybody else been given a similar "to ship" date that might know which ships were leaving SA around that date? Edit: Don't worry, I might have found the answer mys...

Re: Still waiting for build week for new GTI?

As a reference, I ordered in July 2018 and got a build week of 04/03/2019. Not sure if things are speeding up now though so your wait might not be as long. Woah, that's some wait. I got a limited edition Alpina BMW faster. Shocking isn't it? Mine isn't even that bad to be honest, johnpolo2 has been...
