After our Gti was built I was told by VW “help” line that our car was on one of two ships( maybe half on each?), so I spent a while following their progress on a ship watcher only to be told later that it was on a completely different one.
Also I was told that when it arrived at Emden they would know more accurately when it would leave for the uk.
Never was told any of that or where it may land. First notification was from my excited salesman to say it had arrived and he did a walkround video as well. He was more excited than me I think after nearly nine months of “Find the VW” .
And I never got the letter about the seat belt problem recall.
“ It ain’t over till the Fat German Lady farts” ??? :D

There are more than enough football finals coming up over the next few weeks that should keep everyone distracted from ship watching :D :D

Tbh I'd rather watch the ships but that's a whole new discussion. [emoji6]

You try and help members get hold of a brand new, just off the boat GTI or GTI+. (I think their in blue), and somebody rather wait another 8 months for their boat to come in??

Still I suppose you must be waiting for a "69" plate?

My stage 7 came through this morning, which is about right as my car was due at the dealership yesterday.

Let's forget that I never received a 5B, 5C or 6 notification!
