Not heard from mine yet, and I think ours was on the ship before yours.
Anyhow, not much longer now for us all...finally.
It's been an experience.

What colours did you both go for @kayakerpaul and @andygti?

Reef Blue R-line (for my son)

Nice, look forward to seeing pictures of them both.

Dealer just rung, car is at the uk port, expected with them next week, so we`re having it on September the 1st.

Just chatted with my dealer again, as far as he can see it's supposedly still waiting to get on a ship in SA after being at the port for over a month. I'm just really hoping that VW status hasn't updated properly and it's actually nearly here

Yes, planning the whole photo shoot gallery

That's why I was asking you which colour you went for and when you said Reef Blue, I said good choice

There does seem to be a lot of people going for Reef Blue and I thought I would be in a small group with that colour, but it does seem popular

I was about to respond and I thought, oh I'll just check my emails...Boom! just come in. "Good News you car is at the docks in the UK" There was a ship which arrived this morning (early hours), so looks like it was on this one and not the one on Tuesday from Emden.

So I think I'll have a 72 Reg and they also want me to register for We Connect too. So now I need to email then with all my requirements, no washing, I'll collect direct and 72 Reg. etc

Hopefully yours will be over soon. There is s ship leaving for Grimsby today I think.
