So close now :driver:
Faust is now due in Melbourne at 13:00. Does anyone know how to capture images from a webcam that updates every 6 seconds but doesn't auto refresh the screen? Could use this Web Camera 2 - Point Lonsdale Lighthouse to capture an image of it going into Port Phillip. Once docked it will be in the area between cam 3 and cam 4 from the shipping management centre.
The webcam is simply h t t p://www.portofmelbourne.com/webmedia/loncam2.jpg on the web server, so you just need to save that every ~6 seconds as a sequential image. There are many programs or scripts which would do that for you.Quote:

Faust departs Melb tomorrow morn at 8am for Port Kembla. According to the freindly supervisor lady from 'POAGS' (we talked thru the fence) who was counting - ALL cars will be made compliant, checked for dings and issued with books on site. They will all leave the unloading area within max. 48hours to go to the dealerships (not a holding yard, as I assumed)....Interesting to see when we all get ours??? I've got great pics, but dont know how to upload! We can all sleep easy, FAUST is here... PS: I'm going back at circa 11am tomorrow morn to hopefully get a pic of my car! Surely she's easy to pick out of 1,400??? Anyone care to join me?

Thanks so much for the great news on the 48 hour turnaround but if that's true (and of course I have no reason to doubt it) I wonder what happens to them for the balance of the "2-3 weeks" we all keep getting told we have to wait? I don't really mind as what's a few more days after 5 months and I still have my GTI to belt around in but just curious. And my dealer at Camberwell has been great to deal with again so I am sure I will have it as soon as they can make it possible. But 48 hours to the dealer... wow...
