And then say max a few days for transporting down.
Provided that transportation has been arranged. Just ask th dealership when they well be sending your car down. They might be wanting to do a handful of cars a once, if so, you might wait a bit longer.
Geez, I've got to stop checking the tracker so much... what's with the Don Quijote - estimates into Melb have slipped by 2 days already :(
Damn, you're right! :(Quote:

Your lucky, Toba likes to be in "stealth mode" and only turns his signal on in heavy traffic, which there isn't on the coast of Africa. Probably will not see him until he hits Freo - and then that will be on webcams, I hope.Quote:

Mine is set for Late may, ship docks 5 May so I have to wait for 3 weeks while it sits litterally 10km away.
I've never seen a more beautiful ship... As long as they drive our cars safely off the ship and park it well, then that is all i ask for... now the 3wk wait.
Just called the dealer yesterday and he wouldn't give me a firm date 4 delivery, instead insisted on the car being not at the dealership yet and he can't say for sure... He also told me that the car only got off the boat on the 31st instead of the 23rd as shown on the tracking site?? It is friday already and I'm still waiting 4 that call... >_<Quote:
