Because that's wher the polo factory is

sorry, couldn't resist

they make the 3 door rhd polo in Pamplona and it was probably easier to just add production to one line. They ship out of Bremerhaven because it's the biggest car port in Europe and most of the euro manufacturers already send their stuff on boats out of there.

I think i get what the ETA data i got means now.
My car was built on 4/4, left spain 11/4, and left "Bremerhaven" on a boat to Aus 5/5 to arrive here 15/6.
Which would all make sense going by the amount of time everyone says these steps take.
Perhaps the tracking site doesn't update their data all the time? Do they still operate like normal on weekends i wonder?

Not sure gavs, had a quick look at the cruise thread and it seems very long! I'll keep it in mind though.. What date is it?

Tombarra arrives in Freo 1 week from today. To say I'm getting excited is an understatement.

Yeah keep rubbing it in payno.....the Morning Carol has finally reappeared in Durban and is about to head off to OZ

I'd say about 5-6 days behind the Tombarra

That's ok Joe, we all know WA isn't a real state anyway, a state that has something like 0.000001% of it's land as hospitible qualifies as a wasteland....
