Very geeky, but fun nevertheless. If you are waiting for your car to be shipped over, I have found two great websites that tracks the vessels.
The first is in real time and shows the location of the vessel along with a short description of the ship:
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/
The next website shows departures and arrivals:
http://www.portarrivals.com/
My dealer informed me that car is on its way from Wolfsburg to Emden to be shipped to Grimsby.
Looking at http://www.portarrivals.com/ it looks as though there are two vehicle carriers that run the gauntlet between Emden and Grimsby:
1) Main Highway
2) Isar Highway
So if you know your car is currently in the high seas, you can find out exactly where it is: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ lol
A bit of fun........... :-)

Darren
