Fantastic news!!! Very jealous here!

And as to 60 reg cars: I have friends interested in buying one of the two steel grey 60 reg 1,2 DSGs TP posted about the other day. So a fair few out there alas. BUT on here you'll be the third after macdemon and CT17 if I'm not mistaken?

Enjoy the final last bit of waiting!

Monsoon here yesterday :rain: blue sky & :sun: today in the East Riding and my lads Furby I decides it need permanent rear wiper even though it's turned off and can I find out why

TP

Sounds like it will be turning up in the nick of time, you need 4WD in this weather. My polo just spins its wheels all the time

Yes we have just had another monsoon "hello its autumn now" type weather event during the night with incredibly stormy stuff howling through the night kept my missus awake !

Is that the right ship name for our cars to the UK ?? Cos I cant find any such ship. cant even find the ISCAR HIGHWAY which is mentioned on Octavia site.

If you put the names in the vessel search on the port website it doesnt recognise them ??

Hi Pauly,

I've been told that my little Yeti now has a chassis number and that it was shipped on the 24th Sept. I don't know if that means leaving the factory or leaving Emden. I was also told that it was being imported via Grimsby so checked the "marine traffic" site and found that its the Weser Highway that sails there. The Isar Highway docks at Sheerness. I tracked the Weser H every day and its made several round trips since the 24th so don't know which one my little baby is on. Just waiting for the telephone call now!

Wow you are a slightly higher state of alert than me then - have the chassis number but no idea if it has shipped yet, I dont think it is due to leave until w/e 9th so you will get yours before me !!

Funny how yeti owners become ship spotters !!
