Maybe its cos I didnt buy a GTI

I'll give him another call after lunch. Or drop in on my way home from work.

Not sure to be honest... he said they will have it by end of next week.. they are looking for 18" to put on it however??? may delay the delivery. I assumed it would be pre-delivered with Detroits if I ordered them with it??

Mine arrived on the Tombarra in Port Kembla on the 10th May.

I just called my dealer and was told I can pick it up on the 3rd June. I was hoping to have it before the end of May, but I guess whats another 3 days after waiting 6 months. Can't wait!

If it is due in Melb end of next week, it will be the Asian Dynasty, due on 29th May. Has the dealer given you a VIN number, as they should have it. You can then track which boat it is on via https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb Check back through this thread - heaps of detail on how/where to track ships etc....

I've ordered mine with the Detroits and as far as I know, they come from the factory like that. Does anyone else know if they fit them at the dealer?

In case you want to follow your car "Live", just find the name of the vessel it's on and you'll be able to see it's live position, speed and more !

Dont forget that the AIS system only tracks within about 40 nautical miles or so. It is not a GPS tracking system, so once the ship goes out to sea, you won't see it for a while.
