How many digits should a VIN number has??

show us some pictures when you have picked it up (in another 2-3 weeks time I guess)

As we are flying from Townsville to pick it up, we imposed an additional 3 week delay 'for contingencies' when we booked airfares mid Feb. This tied in with daughter's birthday (she lives in Melb) and we are taking 2 weeks holiday to drive home. Expect pics mid June.

I have now seen the colour in the flesh - quite a marked green in sunlight (metallics working?) but much greyer and darker in overcast / evening light. Wife and I really like it considering we had not seen it when we ordered.

I am now convinced that it really is the same colour that is called Granite Green overseas despite VW Aust telling me it is a different colour.

How long does it take you to drive from Melb to Townsville? How far away roughly?

2500Km shortest possible according to UBD (well inland - never done) or 3000Km via Newell/Oxley/Leichhardt Hwys to Rockhampton then coastal to Townsville. This is approximately the way we usually go and have done comfortably in 3.5 days towing loaded trailer but could drop the .5 day if not stopping with family along the way.

I have my VIN # and trying to track some details. The car has apparently been in OZ for over 3 wks now. When I enter the VIN # nothing comes up except "No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered". I only have 16 digits?!?
