How to track the car you have ordered?

Well the Tristan has left Melbourne and just passed through the heads on the way to Port Kembla!

Not long now...

So... I have an interesting week. Last weekend I went down to Port Kembla to see the Don Quijote unload and couldnt get close enough to see my car come off! (if anyone has had luck with this - I

you)

Then received a call from the dealer today and told me that Patricks doesnt reopen until the 10th, and that the dealership wont receive the car until the 19th!

The agony!

I was also on the Don Quijote which, according to marrinetraffic.com has left Brisbane and now heading North.

Hopefully my R is now on "dry" land in Brissie.

Hopefully Pickles and VW Springwood will sort it out quickly, but by the sounds of it, there my be a backlog.

The wait is nearly over

Hang in there mate. I reckon your car should be an MY11 R instead of an MY10. Good to see another Recaro owner!

I'm picking mine up in about 14hours =)

My R was on the Don Quijote and was unloaded at Port Kembla on 2nd Jan. I received an email from my dealer on Tuesday saying it would be 2 weeks for the Bond process so the 19th sound about right.

Thanks Golf_R, where did you buy yours from - perhaps we have the same dealer with the same story?
