Just chased my delivery up. Having been on the Tarago and current in Zeebrugge (since the 6th) I thought it may have been on the same boat as [MENTION=21573]twiggy[/MENTION] 's as I'd been told last week that it had cleared customs and would be on 'this weeks vessel'. Now been told that it might be on Monday's sailing, more than a fortnight in Zeebrugge. Obviously space isn't a a premium in these compounds? I thought things might be a bit more organised once in Europe. After a 7 week wait in Baltimore, a quick turnaround at Zeebrugge would have been appreciated especially as I am now without a car at all! By the time I get the car, it will have exceeded the the stated 12 weeks delivery. I wonder if Ford will offer a Domino's Pizza style refund?

I was on the Tarago too and am also not scheduled on a sailing to the UK. I think it's [MENTION=18440]stiggy[/MENTION] that's on the boat rather than [MENTION=21573]twiggy[/MENTION].

Time to sell my old car! Anyone want an immaculate 2011 limited edition corsa, offers open. Decent daily or first car for any of your kids!
I'll give you the tidy sum of ÂŁ1.50 for it. ;)

I was told 14 days from arrival in Zeebrugge to Southampton. Mine arrived in Belgium on Monday this week. I wonder if I will the 2 cars will end up on the same transporter to Leeds?

2 weeks is the general going shout. 2016 hasn't been too bad seen most clearing in 7-9 days.

Yes, I think you're right. My mistake!

Hopefully not if yours is to be another week in Zeebrugge!

It cleared customs pretty quickly (max 4 days) and so will have been another 11 days by Monday - so more than 2 weeks. This Friday will mark 12 weeks from the factory. I wouldn't be that bothered if my current car was still alive. Not worth buying another for the sake of a couple of weeks.

Yes, I see your point. I was hoping mine might not take as long as yours (you do seem to be taking a long time at each stage). And I dont know how often transporters are sent to the dealers. But as we British are good at queuing yoy should get yours before me considering when it was made!

Out of interest when did you order?

It seems the bulk of the Tarago cars have taken longer than 9 days (as we're on 10 now...) pushing your average up.

I've had an email from Karen to say they're in contact with the Zeebrugge plant to find out which cars are in the next batch of Mustangs to sail to Southampton.

Fingers crossed - It seems ages since mine left the factory (11/Jan build)

Looks like there are 20 Tarago cars 'delivered from' Zeebrugge (i.e. in Southampton) at about 15:50 today. Anyone on Tarago should check. Mine isn't one of them.

Yours will probably get on first boat out of Zeebrugge, with mine following a week or two later if past experience is anything to go by.

How can you check - on WWL or something different?
