I'm placing a bet that mine is last!

Maybe - dArk5HaD0w is in Canberra as well so it could be photo for last LOL

Howling southerly here today, your new cars are getting covered in salt spray.

Yes but my Towbar and Prep, bodykit, Window Tinting, Luxon wheel swap, bluetooth fitment etc will drag it out a day or so more I'm thinking.

Before you guys start worrying about dealer variables you still have to negotiate the vagaries of the Aust Customs service and Patricks Stevedores. From what I have seen in the last 18 months or so there appears to be no logical explanation to the way either of those organisations work.

Im not worried if i have to wait another week or so.. Ive been waiting since end of APR already.

i've looked here there everywhere, but i can't seem to find a proper confirmation that the ship has actually docked.
yes its in port kembla - according to marrinetraffic. however it still refers to "MELBOURNE" as the last known port.
the port kembla shipping movements website indicates 5am today. however, that's been the case since yesterday. it doesn't say wat the actual arrival time was.
sailwx.info seems to be stuck on 29th oct!! - Othello
track & trace - still shows the current status as "loaded on vessel"

i can't seem to find any webcams for port kembla either.



as for the race to the owner, here r my tips:-
1. ausspace87
2. SKODA vRS147
3. dArK5HaD0w
4. CanberravRS

Nearest webcam is "City" Beach (used to be South in my day). Weather is wet and windy, so not much view out to see. There's a big lump offshore Flagstaff Hill which could be a car carrier, but as to which one?????

[dArK5HaD0w]

Inego - there 2 two car carriers coming in today...so could b either!!

According to PortArrivals, its due at 3pm this arvo!!!
