Same as me. Lets hope we are both on the ship that's arriving at Sheerness at 6pm today ! Think I may be in for a much longer wait as your car was finished about 3 weeks before mine.Sheerness

Think that will probably be the case. Might need to get to Emden and slip the guys at the port a few quid to bump me up the queue!!I think Shiggy was BW10 and you were BW12? I am also BW12. Last I heard just over a week ago was that the car was in transport from factory to port.
I was told around 4-6 weeks from build to dealers/delivery. Let's hope we are all on the Elbe but I'll not be holding too much hope!
I contacted my dealer for an update in hopes my build might have come forward following other members builds moving around, but I am still looking at November 23 for delivery (prompting me to look at alternative options, as I wasn't expecting to be in my current car for so long...)
Result I am of the opinion that the emails sent by Audi are probably about a week behind as the input of details is probably uploaded in batches and not in real time. There have been some vessels over the past week or so at Sheerness from Emden so you were probably on one of them. Not long to wait now !!very odd.
Audi email saying the car is now on the boat for transport.
Dealer called just after email from Audi recieved to say the car is now in the UK and approx 2 weeks away from handover..
I had the ‘it’s at the dealers’ a week after I’d taken delivery, so you maybe surprised. I also asked my dealer when it left Emdem And tracked the boat/ ship and saw it land two days before the ‘its in the UK’ email. The system is a bit behind.Result I am of the opinion that the emails sent by Audi are probably about a week behind as the input of details is probably uploaded in batches and not in real time.

Yes, it gives you the hope that the car will be here a bit sooner that anticipated !!I had the ‘it’s at the dealers’ a week after I’d taken delivery, so you maybe surprised.

same with my VS, been at Emden since the 6th. Been lots of boats going to Newcastle, but it hasn’t been on there.i received the 'our work here is complete' over a month ago and no further and no futher movement…
my VS has also been at Emden since the 6th …. still waiting to come to the port of Tyne.Hi RSO3??? Just to confirm, my order is a Carbon not Vorsprung. Just had another update from Listers that it is still stuck at Emden waiting for a boat. It has been there since 6th March which isn't ideal.
Lol nope I think at this point people (like my self) would end up anticipating it earlier and kill our selves with impatience lolYes, it gives you the hope that the car will be here a bit sooner that anticipated !!
Email alerts are hit & miss.very odd.

Quite a few cars are bing built - good news.
Couple of Vorsprung for @Apache007, @WestyRS and may be @DarrenFFC's are stuck at Emden, stinks of awaiting final parts at the port before it can be fitted and shipped. (we witnessed this in 2021, hope its not a repeat of it, again)

Thanks, not too bad as its a consolidation of updates from members, summarised.Hi @RS03???, your weekly update must be like writing War and Peace at the moment !!! Good to see more cars coming through and thanks for keeping everyone updated. Still no further news on mine but there was a ship that left Emden and docked at Sheerness yesterday evening so hoping my car may have been on this and is not stuck at the port awaiting parts.
The only option I added was side airbags for the rear so it would be interesting to know whether the others waiting at port ordered these too or if there is a delay on vorsprungs due to the extra kit on them. That said @TooThick's vorsprung was on the same production run as me and has now arrived in the UK so perhaps shipment is allocated to a number of slots for each dealer per vessel, so the more orders (on all models) they have waiting at port, the longer the wait.
That said, I do not want my car sitting at port for 6 weeks or more as it cannot be good for it with the salt breeze in uncovered compounds.
I have the side airbags on my carbon so hopefully yours is not waiting for any parts and will be on the UK soonHi @RS03???, your weekly update must be like writing War and Peace at the moment !!!

Thanks, Will Update,Sorry for the confusion, but mine is not in build. I have an unconfirmed build week 20. I do indeed wish that it was though.
I note that you received your final checks email on 25th March. I received mine on 29th March.Just had a call from my dealer confirming my car has been shipped (think it is arriving at port either today or tomorrow as there are two ships due in to Sheerness one today an one tomorrow). Dealer then advised that it will be a further week once landed before it is received at the dealers. So hopefully will arrange collection w/c 24th April
Fingers crossed. Hopefully those waiting at Emden going to Sheerness will all get on as that will be 4 ships in the last 3 weeks so hopefully clearing the backlog. Give your dealer a call to find out.I note that you received your final checks email on 25th March. I received mine on 29th March.
Therefore, hopefully my ship will be sailing in a few days!
