Click on "Auto Cargo" and put in your VIN just in case. If your car does show up, click on the numbers in the Voyage field and you should be able to find even more information.

Thanks for even more invaluable info! Yeah, I guess being in the motor trade might have a bit of pull towards getting that VIN and engine number info bright and early. It's still a bloody long wait though...

Well, our GTI is built and well and truly on the way! Left Bremerhaven on 27/2, expected arrival at Brisbane 9/4 with stopovers in Belgium, France, UK, Seth Efrika, Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney. Damn, it will travel more than we ever will in our lifetimes!

Hopefully after compliancing and all the usual mucking around through customs, we should see it late April/early May!!!

Thanks again minigolf for the link to Wallenius Wilhelmsen's website!

No worries. It kinda helps make the days go by. There's nothing more exciting than seeing another red destination on the tracking screen!

Been talking to a dealer today, he thinks he's found the one I want, just trying to see if he can get his hands on it...

Woo hoo!!! The boat with our 3dr GTI aboard from Germany stopped in at South Africa this week (no doubt to pick up those inferior built South African Golfs... j/k) and is now sailing to Australia. On a countdown now...

I think my car is on that boat as well, a quote from the dealer "it's on water at the moment."

Ask the dealer if you can have the VIN, they should have it on record, and punch it into that site that minigolf mentioned back up. Makes it more interesting to see where it is!

I'm itching to get the VIN, rang the dealer again today, apparently there is still a chance that I may get one thats already in Aus. Starting to get the feeling that I was being given the ring around so I kindly reminded him about the fact that my dad is in the market for an R32 for my old gal, and a polo GTI for my little bro...

Hopefully that will refresh his motivation, he seemed to spark up a bit..
