Hey mate. MY checkpoint 8 was May 17th and apparently the car is at the port.......Looks like its a waiting game till a boat can get them on, Rob R's car is also at the port waiting....So that makes three of us.
I think someone told me it can take a week after the boat loads till the tracking starts..............so we wait........
Cheers

Checkpoint 8 only means a VIN has been allocated. The car then needs to be manufactured, transported to the port (by train usually), and then it waits for the next ship, and then it's loaded on the ship. It can easily take 3 weeks from checkpoint 8 to appear on a ship... so don't stress yet

Last Friday my dealer MMS'd me a photo of my car unloading from the back of the truck!
I just took delivery of it now and my first mission..... 40km's of peak hour traffic

Finally confirmed from the dealership that I'm swapping my 6 month wait on a carbon steel 3 dr GTi for a (soon to be delivered from interstate) white 5 dr GTi with detroits, bluetooth & MDI.
Delivery date to be confirmed but hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

VW Springwood finally pulled their finger out and found me the white one interstate. I phoned Norris myself and they had a white 3 door out the front (I saw it as I went past the other day) but it had the factory default wheels. Good price though - $39k on the road. In the end the practicality of the 5 door won me over
Finance_Analyst - have you been tempted by the APR ECU upgrade? It seems to provide a lot of extra power for the money.
