Mine arrived in Emden on Tuesday 17th. Live chat said it could sit there for 2 weeks before getting on another boat.

Dealer is in Yorkshire so i presume it'll be dropped off up north?

I have Auto shine so i presume that'll add time on. The end is in sight!!
Almost certainly going to Grimsby if your supplying dealer is in Yorkshire.

That was a quick trip.

It is now in a compound in Grimsby as you say!

Don't hold you breath, have you looked at Grimsby dock on Google maps? that was taken about 3/4 years ago, the amount of land they have purchased in the last 3/4 years is unbelievable, and it's full to the brim, there's car transporters in and out on the A180/M180 all the time, it could be stuck in Grimsby for two weeks :cry: , before it gets on a transporter. Grimsby also takes Seat and Skoda, anyway, hope you get your car very soon
I live just outside Grimsby, this is how I know.
