Scirocco R available now!

[windyzz]

Seeing as they are manufactured in Portugal I am pretty sure they come out of Setubal... I wonder if they go the long way around the Cape or via the Suez Canal?

I am not able to track mine yet as it is scheduled to leave port on the 10th November.

me 2... Week 42 and still unable to track it..

When i try to see the all the scheduled by port on portugal Setubal, I'm getting one of this error:

The sailing schedule and ports of call are subject to change without notice.
No records found.
For more information contact your local Wallenius Wilhelmsen Customer Service Representative.


I'm using the "http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/cargoTrack.do". Is this the correct logistics ?

When you have a good look at their routes they don't show anything coming from Portugal. Having a close look at the pictures VWA put up of the first batch arriving on our shores shows it to be a Wallenius Wilhelmsen ship out of Southampton... and that is certainly on their route.
I would guess they are sent to Southampton and then go onto a ship to bring them to Australia.. just a guess but it appears to line up with the info I have from my Dealer.

My info says ships from Port of Shipment 10/11/11 and departure last port of transit 2/12/11 which matches a ship on the WW line called TAIKO which leaves Southampton on the 2nd Dec and arrives Port Kembla on 13th Jan 12.

Unfortunately the schedule don't match with my ETA given by my dealer:

Things are happening. I have seen a few more Scirocco R's around in Botany over the last week. Maybe VGA's press cars have landed?

That would fit with the post below.... Demo vehicles are due into Dealerships in December... Motor Magazine December issue has it as the 8th Dec in their "AGENDA" towards the back... as well as a good comparison on Scirocco v GTi v Golf R (Scirocco is a Scuderia Imports vehicle but identical apart from 18" wheels).

Received this today from VWA, so some have definitely landed NOW...
The Scirocco R.
...two years late, but landed nonetheless.

Hi All,
First of all this will be my first VW.. And what a great forum here...

I was at the Mascot dealership last week and if ask they will take to VW head office just down the road and you can have a look at it. I was unlucky the two black roccos weren't there. I don't have time to go for a couple of weeks... But if anyone is interested.

Cheers

I would love to check it out... But since I can't take time off during the week anymore ( retial ). but if you go there ask for Sam. The guy must be on speed, he has so much energy if not fun. But very helpful and informative.

A quick question.... When I orderd my Scirocco, the papers stated 'Pure White' not 'Candy White'. When I enquired they said its the same.. is that true.

Anyway... can't wait till Jan/Feb to put my gruby hands all over it...lol
