I thought it would be in a container, bit hard to see being unloaded.
Hey canberravRS, if I'm down Canberra way around Christmas time, any chance i can come check out your Superb?? Or at least i expect photo's on here soon after you pick it up

hmmm. Mine was built week 35. I wonder if its on the same ship? The dealer is away until next week so I suppose I'll just have to wait and see. BTW what was the date of week 35? Does anyone know?

Thats keen!

i'd actually say "desperate to see it"!! hehehehe
i hate waiting games.
plus, tis a good excuse to c my folks while i'm up in sydney.

nope - they get driven on to, and then off a massive floating car park (the ship), on to the port docks. ours, & possibly urs too, is in one of these ships (otello) at the moment.

BTW what was the date of week 35? Does anyone know?

wk 35 = mon 30th aug to sun 5th sep
mine was built on day 5 of wk 35 - turns out to b fri 3rd sep.

Just rang my dealer but VIN still not in their system. They are going to follow up with Skoda this morning. Fingers crossed.

I hope to be putting up some good pics, and doing regular reviews as i did with the Octavia.. if your keen to see a Sporty Lowered Elegance V6 in Storm Blue with body kit and Luxons then around XMAS then your most welcome to... Just leave me a message closer to time.

Seems like half the people waiting for their cars are on the same boat (no pun intended)!

After calling my dealer yet again, managed to find out that my car was built on the 1st of September & even got the VIN number... Love how helpful they have been since I handed over my deposit... 2 weeks ago my dealer said it wasn't even on the build schedule yet. Useless.

Anyway, it's on its way!

that's good news!!

interesting to note though, the ETA you have is "01-11-2010". The ETA i have, probably had now, was "31-10-2010".
its only a day apart.
i'm guessing the mouse isn't pedalling the ship's propeller as fast as it should be!! hehehhe

The suckiest thing is once its arrived you will then have to wait 36hrs for customs to clear the car, then a day for transport if it comes straight here or goes to Syd first and then joins other cars coming to Canberra.. then you have to wait till the car is delivered to Lennock, PD'd, detailed etc and then registered.. Boom its yours and thats mid November.
Im not expecting my Superb till at least the week of the 15th of Nov.. one day that week it will happen if all goes to plan.

For those folks who have their car on the Otello, which is on its slow way over here, here's a link to keep you up to speed on where your wheels are in the world...

Thanks for that - i knew someone would remember how to track the ship.
Looking now as i have been away for a week and had no access to a computer.
