How to track the car you have ordered?

It then didn't appear on the tracking side until it was loaded onto the vessel on the 9/10 (although that is Europe time, so it was the morning of 10/10 for us).

There are so many variables though:
Checkpoint 8, when you receive your VIN, is BEFORE production is finished.
So there is the variable of how much longer production has to run
Then how long it needs to wait to be placed on a train and sent to the dock.
Then how long it sits at the dock before it gets loaded on the vessel.
It is only WHEN it is actually "scanned" when the warfie is driving your car onto the ramp of the vessel, that your car will appear on the W&W site.

So we're talking, a MINIMUM of 12 days, up to possibly 30 days... lets say with an "average" of around 17 days.

Get used to it!
Even when your car is on the boat, you'll have DAYS where it isn't in range for tracking (up to 11 in the one hit depending on route). Then once it arrives you'll have 14 to 21 days (10 to 15 business) for all the stuff between the docks and you. So yeah, having it appear on the tracking site hasn't made things any easier :)

Hey Prodigy, once I had my VIN, it didn't appear on the tracking website for 3 weeks.

This tracking business seriously makes it worse! I think it was better (if only slightly) before when I had no farken idea what was happening. Now I know it "exists", I just want to drive the bastard!

I reckon in about 6 weeks time, this site is going to be a "ghost town" because many of us will have our bums glued to the seats of our shiny new toys that we're frustratingly waiting on arrival on the Morning Camilla. :cool: ........ Prodigy - we'll try to drop in just to make sure you aren't too lonely :banana:
