I've just got back from picking up my vRS. Not had much time to drive it properly, but first impressions are good (had a little play with sport mode at a set of traffic lights at a dual carriageway though )

I have spoken to the dealership this evening and they've confirmed that I can pick my car up on Wednesday (24/10/2017) at 10am

Agreed, but I'm with Richard_vrs245, meteor grey looks best

Just got off the phone with the dealership, and my car is now in Derby. Need a flip down pedal fitting before I collect it, but it's here Even got a video of my car sitting in the car park with the protective wrapping in it. Glad you've got yours and you're enjoying it

Very nice looking motor there Peter. Had much of a chance to drive it yet?

I can only speak for me, but I thought your comment was funny, so no need for explainations.

Had an update from my dealership this evening in my way home from work. They have said that the car "should" be with the at the back end of next week (hopefully ). They also that the mix up at the port was down to someone scanning the order when it arrived as status 39 (in ship heading out of port), but two days later was scanned again as status 38 (at port awaiting to be loaded), but no-one seems to know why. At least five other cars have been caught up in this from the same dealership. PS, if Greenpeace get involved and delay my car any further I'll drive to the port and personally remove them off the ship

Exactly Peter, I was told over the phone it was on the boat and would take about 5-6 days to get to the UK, and that was 10 days ago If I was told it was ready to be shipped but fairly far down the shipping order I could understand

Hi Peter, I've had some news, but it's not good. Apparently my car has not yet left Emden Not what I was told last week. Have you had any delivery dates yet?

I'm hoping as it states diesel engined cars repeatedly, I won't be affected. Mine's a petrol vRS and is currently in a boat heading to England (don't know where though)

nearly there now. mines now built and on a ship heading to good 'ol blighty. PS, meteor grey is the only way

Great looking car, the estate does look good in white

have you had the chance to get some photos?

I've just had confirmation that my car has been built and is on the way to Emden in Germany to be shipped over

There's nothing like a little bit of hijacking sorry Adam Lovely looking car, making me almost regret getting the hatch now. Was very tempted with white, looks great with the black pack plus
