Well fork me.... the car is on a ship!!!!!!! It updated at 1:04am
OH MY GOD
One ship just got to Grimsby, one is on the way!
You are definitely ahead of me now. I guess that mine is heading for a different port.
What dealer is yours coming from?
Well the ship left early hours, perhaps it’s just coincidence that yours got scanned on later than mine.. too late for the midnight update?
Will have to see how yours updates tonight.
I was at my dealer today (Bury St. Edmunds) as my S3 was in for its MOT and my RS3 is definitely still in Emden.
I was also told that things will get pushed if the car is there for 15 days.

Interesting, keep me updated!
Yes yours is miles away from Grimsby so will likely end up in Sheerness.
Well I got mine back from the detailer today and have spent a good couple of hours and half a tank terrorising the locals. I came from an S3 which was fast, this thing is a nutcase! I love it!!!
Unfortunately it was dark when I collected so not got any photo's yet, but the detailer got some when he'd finished. Once I have them I'll post them up.
I've noticed 3 things. First, it draws a hell of a lot more attention than my S3. Not all of it was approval mind, but that might have something to do with the way I was driving and the thunderous racket coming out the back. Am I childish for having the back windows constantly open?
Second is it's inability to stick to 30mph speed limits. Had no problem with the S3, but the RS3 refuses to behave itself, no matter how hard I try. I had to resort to cruise control in the end, and even then, the temptation to push the loud pedal sometimes got the better of me.
One thing that did surprise me was the fuel economy. 35mpg average on the motorway back from the detailer. It's no worse than my S3 was when it was new. S3 did improve quite a lot in the 2 years I had it, if the RS3 does the same I'll be happy. Not that I bought it for it's fuel efficiency like, but it's good to know if you do take it steady it's really not that bad.
All in all, I'm like a kid in a sweetshop. Very, very happy

Just looked on the tracker and mine is in assembley .. week earlier than the tracker was saying
As discussed above, it’s normal that all go into build the Thursday before the build date. The tracker is an automated process and not a true reflection of where your car is until it leaves the factory, then it is valid.
The ship has left Grimsby with mine on and is on its way to Tyne, woohoo!! So fingers crossed at midnight, mine I’ll update to arrived.
Audi UK said it can take 24 hours to unload (done), then up to a week to be assigned transport and be dispatched. They said 3-5 days to be at the dealer from when it leaves the port, don’t know where they get that idea from.

3-5 days for them to toe around in it!
Probably
Considering it’s at the port now, I’m hoping it will be at the dealer midweek and if it is.. it will be at the detailer Friday, ahead of schedule
Exciting times.Got the iPhone X now to take photos of it too, awesome bit of kit it is......

Yep, this is best the best and worst thing about the car.
Best is the noise and drama and feeling that you are trying to tame a wild beast.
Worst is the way we will end up in a lot of trouble.
Congrats on the car. Another happy customer. Wicked.

So I now have an order number and a build date of 22nd January (Week 4).
I will most likely ask them to keep the car until April (I expect it will arrive end of February/start March.)
But I can finally track it at least!!

It will update to Status 38, if you check the JSON data behind the yourAudi page. Your dealer can also see this status.
Have you asked your dealer about it? It’s 2 weeks now since you’ve been there, aroundabout?
Mine has been at the port since Saturday. I’ve got a week off work to be ready to go and see it and I’m going out of my mind here
I'm in no great rush. It will get here eventually.
I quite like the anticipation phase.

RS3 Limosine.. What's all that about. I can't think that an RS can ever be called a Limo!!
It is.
I tried one last time to nag the dealer today into doing something but had no luck and ended up getting ignored last going off. Apparently they can’t collect cars from the port until the end of the month? Odd!
So now I’m sitting back and waiting, I doubt I will see it this week now :’(
It’s a nightmare because it’s going to their compound first an hour away. So even once it’s dispatched, it still isn’t to the right place. It doesn’t need to be at the compound because it’s having a PDI on-site, it’s just a case of that where the trucks go. Not to mention a third transporter required to take it to the detailer for a week or so. I asked if I can see it at their compound and that question has been ignored 3 times.
The tracker just updated to Status 60... WHAT!! :O
Little confused as just a matter of hours ago the dealer said it was at the port with no departure date. Perhaps it’s an automatic status? Perhaps it will leave today?
If it leaves today I don’t think I’m going to be able to accept no as an answer to seeing it in the compound........
F***.

Dealer confirmed mine is at Status 60! Now is the dead end battle to go and see it at the compound today.....

Lol your surprised the dealer didn’t know what was happening?
My S3 went from 46 to 70 in an hour because the transport company told Audi it would deliver the car the same day and the tracker was updated immediately.
When you get your video please share it on here

Me too, fishy.
I lost my battle and will be seeing the car Monday when it gets to the dealer.

It's ok, their compound is just around the corner from me so I'll pop in and see it!

@AudiNutta , do a video walkaround for us but please leave out the dribbling and salivating.
I say 'walkaround' but one would suspect you will be unable to walk in a state of high arousal

That made me chuckle! I will do my best.
I advise all of you who have a car waiting at the port to call your dealer and make sure there is a "transport order" on the car. Mine has been sitting at Sheeness for 9 days and only after I phone Audi UK did I find that the reason was there was no transport order on it, only a "call off" for delivery. The car now has a transport order on it but I'm 7-10 days set back now.

Managed to get in there briefly. Looks stunning mate and really glows under a light! although good job you're getting it detailed. Somehow they've managed to get some bad swirl marks in the paint. I don't know how they can be so poor.
