Spoke to VW this morning and my car was built last Thursday and is currently aboard the Gran Canaria Car which is due to dock at Sheerness at around 01:00 tomorrow morning. VW Medway is only about 30 minutes away from Sheerness so hoping to pick up sooner rather than later!
Have you had your paperwork?I only received mine when it got to stage 6.
I received my paperwork on Friday after reaching stage 40 (on their system) and the car is being registered on the 6th June. So it's likely that you won't be about to pick it up for another 10-14 days.

Nope never spoken to the dealer and haven't heard from Horizon since April. Yeah I figured it would be a couple of weeks for collection. Pleased its progressed so quickly though as it was only built a few days ago. I only received mine when it got to stage 6.

If it progresses as quickly as mine has done since docking at Grimsby, then you might get a car registered on the 13th June, for collection on the day, or afterwards.
You lot have got so much fun ahead and it will be worth the wait.
I have been driving my new Q7 the past two weeks which is just the most quietest smoothest thing I have ever been in with lots of torque to boot, but this morning popped the garage door up and thought I would take wifeys R out for the day as I had a couple of long haul meetings. I am still grinning from ear to ear, it's like a new toy you put down for a few days only to pick back up again and realise how much fun it is.
Absolutely fantastic motors.
ENJOY

So.... I'm wc 23/5 build.... Part of the 'will it or won't it' (have nav and hot seats).....
....and I've just had a 5b (shipping) notification. Anyone else on the same build week ahead or behind this? Did the spreadsheet guru people know if this means it's actually on the ocean?
Same build week, I had the "it's in the UK" email this morning.....and I've just had a 5b (shipping) notification. Anyone else on the same build week ahead or behind this? Did the spreadsheet guru people know if this means it's actually on the ocean?

Same build week. Had my 5c text this morning (near the UK) but my car is on the Gran Canaria Car Ro-Ro ship which should be docking at Sheerness as I type this. VW Live Chat will tell you exactly where your car is and if its on a boat which one. You can then track it using marinetraffic.com....and I've just had a 5b (shipping) notification.

So it looks like I don't have my order number as the lease company have had to re-quote for the 2017 model even though I signed the contract last week and paid the deposit and fees. The price has gone up around £35 per month. I've asked if they can improve on the price as I wouldn't have gone for the sat nav and winter pack even at £35 extra.
