Ahhhh great news mate.

I havent been so luck (yet) still waiting for the 5c notification but mines is going into Sheerness so guess differnt vessels...

Be interested to see what your turn around from UK to receiving your car will be.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you mate. Hopefully something could come through very soon, seems like things are moving again.

Yeah mine is heading to Grimsby. From what some of the guys on here have said I can see it being stuck there for a while. :(

Mine has been sat in Zeebrugge since 1am this morning.
There was an update to its schedule which said that it was next heading for Emden and due in there at 7am tomorrow.
Now it shows that it's expected at 6:30am on the 19th.
Then it will be a waiting game getting it to Sheerness.

two months ago I was given a provisional date of 27/4. My car has been in Emden for two weeks and no sign of a ship being assigned. I will add another month to the original date and hope to get it by 1st June. The dealer has given me a price for my part ex so every month that goes by he's the one who is taking the loss not me

Lovely looking car, glad you finally have it and are pleased with it.

Going on the time scales for you getting your in transit notification and taking delivery I should have my car in the next 8-10 days!! (I know I wont but I can hope LOL) :mrgreen:

Same here. Build was 4/3/19 but built week earlier. Sitting on 5b since 5th April. Going I think to Tyne so who knows when it will ever get there.
But then I've only waited 66 weeks so far so. Will contact dealer today but I don't expect a response anytime soon.

It was not so bad for wait as my Audi was written off in January and ordered my car in February this year. As I contacted a dealer and they had a look on the system for me and there was one in the same spec that I wanted already had ordered with factory so paid my deposit for it.

EMS Highway going from Emden to Grimsby. Fingers crossed, but seems a bit soon since a trip from Emden to Grimsby was only done the other day.
