Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[Frostee]

So Joe what's your projection? Do you think Toreador is still a candidate? If not, what's next?

[GTI JOE]

Hard to predict Frostee, things may be clearer in the next few days. According to the schedule below, if we miss out on the Toreador, possibilities may be the Texas and the Taiko? Still hoping for the Toreador though....fingers crossed

Texas would seem to be a closer fit to the arrival outlook in my NDCON summary last time I looked. May be something in this?

[GTI JOE]

I wouldn't put too much reliance on the NADCON as the dates after production and arrival at port generally are in flux and can change dramatically, as has happened to Gav and I. The Texas's next port is Zeebrugge, getting closer now. I am reasonably sure we will know in the next few days.

If I went with what the NADCON said, then Gav and I's cars will be at the port terminal until 8/5/11, over a month? hard to believe

[payno]

The Toreador docks in Bremerhaven on the 28th and leaves on the 29th. Taking into account the time difference we will know if our cars on that ship by the 30th (Wednesday).

I'm confident Frostee and I will be on there. Just have to wait and see.

[Frostee]

Hey Payno, I like your confidence. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Toreador just leaving Antwerp, next stop and ETA.....BREMERHAVEN on 27/3/2011 at 17:00
Sounds like it's arriving one day earlier than expected
As Captain Picard would say.....MAKE IT SO!!!!!!!

[Frostee]

As I do every day I'll check the shipping website when I get home this afternoon and see if my VIN registers. Fingers crossed!!!

Ha ha, if I believed what head office in sydney is saying, my car won't be built for another 4 weeks!

Don't think so.

Starting to get excited again! Really want to see some action.
