Owners waiting for Eos delivery

[sydeos]

You are a nasty man Peter........ you have cursed my vessel

Originally scheduled in to Sydney on the 6th of June now back to the 8th...... UGH!

Certainly sucks having to wait.

Hope that when the Tombarra passes through the eye of the cyclone, it will be able to surf on the storm waves from Durban to Brisbane (preferably bow first) in record time.

Wife saw an Eos yesterday for the first time. Up to this point she didn't know one even existed. Briefly spotted one whilst she was sitting on the back of our bike, and asked me if it was a Jetta coupe. I said it could be and ignored the topic. She said it was "sweet". Which is good.

Also saw the same one the next day. I just about fell of the bike when she pointed out from 40 mts away that it must be a hard top convertible, as she could see the roof joins.

Your 'Dear Wife' suddenly seems very well informed on all things VW Eos my friend. Is she trying to give you a subtle hint that your carefully crafted plans are not as secret as you might wish?

As to my Baby hopefully she had a good time in Durban but didn't get tempted by any South Africans with nasty designs upon her curves

Looking at the Tombarra ( http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/tombarra_2006_b_1.htm ) the decks don't look all that open to me.

Was lucky it was that stormy .......at least the waves put the fire out...... apparently.

FOR TRACKING
All you need from your dealer is your VIN #, enter info in the following site.

Regardless what your dealer tells you, the above shipping site will confirm when your car is loaded.....and on what ship....and the schedule to your delivery port in Aus.

Where would I look to track a car coming from Mexico (Puebla plant)?

Good to hear Sydeos. My dealer said that once it arrrives dealer pdi is around 2 weeks. Hopefully you will get it sooner. Mine left Bremerhaven yesterday on its world tour and arrive in oz 5 weeks later.

Well six months after being ordered and three months after being built it is finally in my hot little hands.........

Looks good Leigh. Couple of obvious production faults that i could see.

1. Long straight black thinga-me-gig sticking out of the floor in front of the centre console.
2. Exhausts pipes are exposed.

Apart from that........just perfect.

All jokes aside, congrats on a stunner. Can only imagine how it is in real life. Looks like it was well worth the wait.
