Also, this was a poor job on hiding the number plate, just FYI...

I'd also have thought it'd gone through PDI if it has plates, as the dealer puts them on (and the last thing they'd do is get a salesman to make/fit them!*)


*or, in reality, the last thing a salesman would offer to do!

I held out a small hope that mine might be ready by the weekend, but as far as I know it's not even at the dealers yet. Also had no sight of any of the documents to complete, so I'm expecting another week or so at the earliest. Half expecting I'll get it and then we'll go into a lockdown and I'll no...

Looking at the spreadsheet, some of you have had estimated build weeks back (May/June 2022) which are of similar time to my order - 26/10/21. Will i really have to wait a year to take delivery :cry: :cry: Given the data thus far I'd have expected somewhere between May and August as a reasonable del...

Mine's now confirmed to be in the UK and en-route somewhat, so fingers crossed

Except my Tour!

Your Tour is the Hodor helping everyone else's BW40 get through 2021

Is this confirmed? I just thought they didn't bother putting lights behind them.

No, it's not happening. Plenty of people still living in fantasy land it seems.

Neckar Highway has just left Grimsby Port and Weser Highway is just entering to take its place in the dock. Hopefully means good news impending for a few people. And hopefully early Christmas presents of sorts. Apparently VW are in a bit of a mad rush to get their CO2 fleet stuff by the end of the y...

I can see then on eBay for £160 + delivery, but would rather get them direct from VW.

Only your dealer could tell you, but I expect not far off the same

It's quite interesting how the ships work. Neckar Highway is due to dock in Grimsby tonight, but it's still on approach (ETA 9pm). Weser Highway was originally due Monday, but it's been sat anchored up offshore near Grimsby for a short while, and it isn't due into port until tomorrow. Must have made...

So I'm wasting my time watching the ships going to Tyne?....or lack of ships going to Tyne.....one is in Grimsby just now with another two going there at the moment!

Apparently.

Had an update this morning to say my BW40 is now showing as being shipped and left Germany. Dealer claims that all ID.3s are shipped to Grimsby at the moment, with it implied that Sheerness etc are other vehicles. With that in mind, assuming mine would be on the Weser Highway which is currently en-r...

Small update:

Danube Highway unloaded and left Sheerness last night and is now in Belgium.
Parana has now left Emden and is en-route to Sheerness; expected to arrive this evening.

Small update for the interested among us... (or, indeed, those expecting deliveries to Southern dealers) Parana is due to arrive at Sheerness on Saturday, as expected: image_2021-12-09_085959.png Danube Highway is due to arrive at Sheerness (or, apparently 'Sherness') this morning (in 2 hours) imag...

Not fully sure what we'll talk about once they start fulfilling orders

With WFH measures being reintroduced, does anybody know how this will effect vehicle deliveries? I’d assume ports will be allowed to carry on as normal, but what about dealers? Not being able to collect my car due to COVID will be just the kick in the pants I’ve come to expect at this point! :lol: ...

Keep your eye on the Danube Highway, its possibly heading for Sheerness. If not Sheerness I would guess Dublin. I'd discounted it based on the fact that it appears to be doing hops between Scandinavia and germany, whereas Parana have previously done the Sheerness hop. Both will probably be docked u...

Involving myself slightly in the 'vessel tracking' game, 'Parana' arrived in Emden just after midnight https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/PARANA-IMO-9427964-MMSI-218562000 It has previously done a vehicle drop in Sheerness before, on the 26th, which was some 4 days after it had arrived in Emden.

There's definitely at least one other (2.4), as per viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1607

Its a nightmare....but pretty much every manufacturer is the same. The problem with the ID3 and the ID4 is that they are selling in massive numbers that VW cant keep up with. Outside the chip crisis it would be a struggle but the chip crisis is just making it ten time worse. Definitely. Even if you...
