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.

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 :roll:

:D :) 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.
