My new GTS is due for collection on Friday morning, with the RR Sport gone and a temporary loan car going back on Thursday evening, its looking good for my short break to Scotland next week. Only its not. I had a call from the dealer today, apparently storm Brian means that it didn't get shipped, so thats somewhat ruined the plans!

Has anyone else heard of similar issues? Apparently the dealer has 5 cars affected by Brian. :( :( :(

Not recently, but my son’s new Polo was badly damaged in a hail storm at Emden 3 years ago.....delayed for 3 months while they built another one........you can’t legislate for the weather ☹️

True, you can’t legislate for the weather. Just damned annoying when you have waited for months and have been counting down the days.

:idea: You could always ask your OPC if they can let you have a demonstrator to use for the bonnie wee trip, especially as you have your holiday pre-booked. ;) :(

Good grief, I hope it’s wasn’t on one of those. I had just presumed that they hadn’t sailed.

I doubt it - just a bit of old footage to show what can happen (thankfully very rarely) on the open seas.
I expect the crew were all safely tucked up in an Emden bar somewhere waiting for the wind to drop👍 Yours will be here soon enough (but I do recall the wait!)

It’s like being a kid waiting for Christmas again!

You've got every sympathy from me. My GTS was stuck on the ship that was hijacked by Greenpeace last month. My OPC loaned me a Cayenne for a few days to tide me over (forgive the pun).

I'm off up to Scotland this weekend too, but in my GTS. Sorry to rub it in :lol:
