Scirocco Central

You people who have been waiting months arn't going to have much sympathy with me!

I ordered my Rocco on the 13th this month, dealer found a stock car which was sat in the VW delivery port in Emden, Germany (see below)

Problem is I checked with the dealer today and it is still sat in the port awaiting shipping to the UK any idea how long I will have to wait and what the procedure is once its here it UK? I am guessing it will need to go to a UK distribution center then off to the dealer, then once the dealer has it how long will I have to wait?

Sorry I just can't wait to get behind the wheel!

So long has the insurance they can turn a car around in a day.

Have they said what the hold up is.

No reason given. Looking at the picture of the port maybe they are looking for the keys, or waiting for all the cars around it to sell - that would be just my luck

Hope its wrapped up well!

Think I will give it till friday then start making a pain of myself! Poor dealer will be fed up with me

Should go to Immingham Port near to Grimsby and then loaded onto a delivery lorry to your dealer. I am surprised it is still at Emden though.

Just chased the dealer, its STILL sat in the port

The computer system isn't showing any ETA date either

They are going to chase VW on it.................

Why is this taking so long, the wait is killing me like slow torture!

tell em you will pay for a 1 way ticket from Rotterdam to Hull if they move it own for you....lol

Seriously though, the wait will be a distant memory once you get down the road from the dealers and start to get those admiring glances. Its amazing how many people stare at the car.

If its not here this week, I will be flying over I think

get you dinghy out

Wahey, its "on ship" apparently and should have the reg and pickup time in a day or so - its going to be a long week.....

weather forecast for the north sea sounded a bit dodgy this week

It's a pity you can't redirect a German dealership to do the PDI, fly over, collect it and drive back. It'll be run in by the time you get home

Yep apparently the north sea is going to freeze over tomorrow

Not really,

Forecast is only only peaking at 2.7m Hs in the souther sector, and about 20knots W / NW.

We'd still be working offshore in that, no probs for a cargo vessel transiting.


I'm waiting for an update on mine tomorrow, last i heard mine was still in Emden port aswell.

wind em up watch em go, the wait killed me guys, worth it though you will not be disappointed, its the sort of car you pop out for a paper down the road and come back an hour later with a massive grin having forgotten the paper, dealer phoned my up and asked if the tyres were still in tact, bring on a trip to wolfsburg via the ring

I'm waiting for an update on mine tomorrow, last i heard mine was still in Emden port aswell.

Would be funny if they were on the same ship....

This waiting is sheer hell!

I am sure it will be worth it though

Dealer now says the car dosn't get to dock until Saturday

Looks like another week of waiting
