Got my 5b Shipping text this morning. I assume as it is a bit behind the real timing that my car is on the Weser Highway ship that left Emden yesterday afternoon. Sad really....
Cool!Edited by Jefferson Steelflex on Friday 20th May 08:47
I am spending too much time thinking about this Seems I had same build week as you and Chas88 but my car is still in Emden Wonder why that is.
Mine is still at the docks in Emden
Been there since the 12th May - allocation of space to vehicles appears to be a bit random? But this is Germany, so I am sure there will be a reason - probably forgot to put a towel in my spot
Will have to wait for a few more weeks then, VW chat said it could be around 15 days to get allocated a space once it arrives at the port.

We are in the same boat. Literally and not literally.Been there since the 12th May - allocation of space to vehicles appears to be a bit random? But this is Germany, so I am sure there will be a reason - probably forgot to put a towel in my spot

Is it sad that I'm looking forward to next week purely to get an update as I'm build w/c 23/5 LOL
As others have said I've done no ID checks yet, and simply paid £500 towards the initial once the order form was signed (VW Main Dealer).
My build week next week too. I'm practically foaming at the mouth.As others have said I've done no ID checks yet, and simply paid £500 towards the initial once the order form was signed (VW Main Dealer).

Not at all. I'm probably the most sad. I have a spreadsheet called 'Golf R Countdown'...As others have said I've done no ID checks yet, and simply paid £500 towards the initial once the order form was signed (VW Main Dealer).
It has all the dates that things have happened on, and my predictions on when it will arrive.
This is quite interesting - huge volumes of cars waiting to be loaded and from what I can see around 800 cars on a ship... might take a while to get from the back of the queue to the front..

I think getting to 'north-west East Frisia' would get a bit confusing if you were lost...http://www.volkswagen-karriere.de/en/what_we_do/lo...

Haha yes that's pretty sad! It has all the dates that things have happened on, and my predictions on when it will arrive.
Mine has gone to 5a in transit this morning, probably going to be on holiday when it arrives ☹️
Hey guys how you finding a more specific info on where you car is? Ordered an R estate build week was 9/5 and is in transit. (Your car is on the next stage of its journey to the UK. On average it takes 3 weeks for this model to reach your local Volkswagen Retailer.)
Planing on taking it to Le Mans on the 15th July.
Any chance of getting it in time?
