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 only just saying the same thing.

65 Weeks since ordered - bloody ridiculous - seems we get past one hurdle and then we are faced with another - that will teach me for thinking we were getting close and on the home stretch when it arrived in Emden.

Wonder if its actually secretly in the UK and I will get one of those BTW its here updates......
Exactly. Every time you think things are starting to move/speed up nothing actually happens.

That's what I'm hoping too, considering how unreliable the tracker is.

Bank holidays or any other day the trucks will still be moving the cars, logistics is a 24/7 business, I know because I will see them as I too will be running from the north down to the south east (Clacton, Chelmsford, Colchester or Ipswich) and back in a truck, roughly 4hrs each way every day

Hi, long time lurker here and this is my first post.
Ordered my GTI in June last year, had build week 04.03.19 and know my car was on the Glovis Spring recently. I had the app updates like others and email/text notifications but nothing since 5b.
Messaged my dealer today and he’s confirmed the car is now in the UK and expects it at the dealership within a week. I expected it to still be in Emden so maybe some hope for others who have waited longer than me, your car might have made it to UK with mine?!
