The GT-R was not on the MC though, no drama. Looks like we have a winner! That's a good turnaround. Looking like mid next week for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepoint8 Posted 30January, 2019 Report Share Posted 30January, 2019 Transport and Main Roads has it logged as shuffling from Point Cartwright to POB (Fisherman Is 1) from 1pm-4:30pm tomorrow and then heading off again at 6pm. Still plenty of time for the ghosts of the Australian car industry to whip up a tidal wave or a plague of brown marmorated locusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Hamburg dock apparently with a huge backlog of cars for MB & VW brands waiting for available ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I didn't think about the knock-on effect back in Europe of 4 large vehicle carriers having up to an 8 week delay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that sucks. Sorry to hear it. And we thought we had it tough... It'll be interesting to see how the shipping companies and car manufacturers respond to this issue.

And we'll all soon have ours after such an ordeal. We all know about Stink Bug now don't we, and people who don't know about them are interested when you tell them the drama-filled story. My wife was going to call her car 'lucky' at one stage, as in Lucky if it gets here before friggin Easter! Now it'll probably be Stinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleak Posted 30January, 2019 Report Share Posted 30January, 2019 As a newcomer to the forum and a latecomer to the discussion, but following the saga closely, hearty congrats to those of you about to get your new toys. Mine is the car referred to earlier by Orange, offloaded in Port Kembla but now quarantined by DAWR. Frustrating. Coulld be worse, I’m told the stink bugs smell like coriander when crushed!

Bleak Posted 30January, 2019 Report Share Posted 30January, 2019 Nothing from dealer, PCA or Patrick Autocare. Anyone know if there’s somewhere in DAWR I can check this out? I reckon they’re a little preoccupied with fish kills just ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you can track it via prixcar website. If the website doesn't show anything, I can make some calls tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gojaria Posted 30January, 2019 Report Share Posted 30January, 2019 MC is still at anchor outside of Sunshine Coast. Not sure what is happening. It is a bit disappointing as they changed the ETA but still not in dock yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very generous of you to offer assistance 🙏 Will let you know Hi Bleak, Once you get your VIN, contact Prixcar and get Entry Number for DAWR. This should be a nine digit number starts with A or Z. Once you get that, call 1800 900 090 and press option 1 then 2 and then 1. That would be the document assessment team and they can tell you status of the car. If this is too difficult, please PM me your VIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
