!!! =D

Conincidentally I have to go to Freo today for the first time in months! Will keep an eye out for the big ass red ship! haha.

So excited. Hoping for delivery Saturday after next. Am I too optimistic?

Well done Payno, you lucky guy! I don't reckon you're overly optimistic. When I was at Camberwell VW yesterday mention was made that Polo's seem to get off the wharf pretty quickly. From all my discussions you're looking at a worst case of two weeks - all being good I reckon you might have an opportunity to collect it before Saturday after next.

Can you believe they've almost arrived? I have been so accustomed to talking about delays in delivery it's somewhat surreal to realise they're so close.

On a side point I haven't sold my MINI. I've learned 2 lessons for the future. 1. don't hang on to a car for so long unless you have to (car is just turned 6 years old), 2. if you have a converti9ble, sell at a sunny time of year. I don't have anything to support this but reckon open air driving is bottom of mind when it's cold and rainy.

Anyway, my updated trade-in price is acceptable and is my fallback option.

Now to return to the subject - Payno, please keep us posted. After all, we're sort of related!

Saw the ship briefly on my drive past. Our cars are definitely in good company. Plenty of Aston Martin's, Audi's, Porsche's etc and caught a glimpse of a few Golfs.

Can't believe it either.. my first brand new car is almost here

.

Hope you're right.. Saturday suits me best for pickup anyway so if I get a call before that I'll probably just hold off.

Tombarra undocked from Freo. ON the way to Melb

**Frostee** · 16-05-2011, 06:45 AM

Tombarra has left Fremantle - next stop Melbourne. Current ETA is early hours Friday morning.

It's going to be close to the line selling the MINI. I did get another call yesterday from someone who sounds pretty keen and they're taking a look at it on Wednesday. Fingers crossed!
