How about I rub it in a bit more!!! Pick up time for me is 2.00 pm. All confirmed that my Tungsten Silver Alltrack will be all ready to go..

3 weeks the dealer tells me it will take from undocking (which was on 21-04) to our pick up. Of which only 5 days is dealer prep. 16 days the guvmint (customs and what not) need to pull their fingers out long enough handwave the car through.

In the meantime the vehicle sits in the healthy salty air of Melbourne port. I hope it has a thick layer of protective coating all over.

Argh!

Ok. My all track is safely parked in the garage. That was a bit nerve wracking with all the parking sensors going off at one. The car was immaculately presented and I had a full run down from sales and service staff. I must have been overwhelmed - missed how to adjust the mirrors and the manual is less than helpful. Any suggestions anyone?

The knob in front of the window switches - twist to select L or R: then use like a joystick

Thanks for that . It didn't click to use the knob as a joystick.

Just got an email from Leaseplan. Due to "delays in holding yard" delivery delayed to May 15.

WTF? What are those government drones doing? Doing some wheelies and burn outs? It's a blimmin' car from Germany not a load of highly suspect hollow statues form the Golden Triange!

Seriously, how did all your dealers manage to get the car from the docks to you in a few days, while I have to wait weeks?!

ARGH!

Not sure what happened. Car was landed in Melbourne on 6th of April. Was a the dealers in Hobart on the 19th and picked up by me on the 26th. I could have had it earlier but it suited me to pick it up when I did.

20 days when it even had to cross to Tassie!

Be nice if some customs drones would use some of my tax money to pull their fingers out.
