myred911 Posted 1April, 2011 Report Share Posted 1April, 2011 Hi every one, Have create a new thread tracking Rob's 3.2 from the UK to OZ. Track its progress here. I expect everyone to keep an eye on his baby for him. (That white container still looks a tad unstable ) Bon Voyage! rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocs Posted 2April, 2011 Report Share Posted 2April, 2011 Hi every one, Have create a new thread tracking Rob's 3.2 from the UK to OZ. Track its progress here. I expect everyone to keep an eye on his baby for him. (That white container still looks a tad unstable ) Bon Voyage! rEd Thanks rEd - so the ship's currently in Le Havre... With nearly 9,000 containers on the ship I hope I get the right one! Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myred911 Posted 2April, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 2April, 2011 Hi Rob, All credit to the ship's Captain navigating across the channel as the volume of traffic is immense. That is a clever website. Cheer rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocs Posted 6April, 2011 Report Share Posted 6April, 2011 Now off the coast of Portugal, and into the Med tomorrow... Rgds Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocs Posted 22April, 2011 Report Share Posted 22April, 2011 Well it passed through the canal on the 13th, but has lost time across the Indian Ocean, and now is 3 days late getting into Singapore (now expected on the 26th of April). This means it misses its orignal connection to Sydney, and now is a week later than expected. It should be here on the 14th of May. I'm worse than a kid at Christmas!!

Slocs Posted 18May, 2011 Report Share Posted 18May, 2011 "I'm worse than a kid at Christmas!!" It's now Christmas eve as the car is at Port Botany awaiting Customs and AQIS clearance - only a few days more!! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocs Posted 25May, 2011 Report Share Posted 25May, 2011 Well, it's arrived. However the attached picture sums my first driving experience up. First time in 28 years of driving that I've run out of petrol, and only 4kms from the container depot!!! Combined with a flat battery, the NRMA seemed to be the easy way home...

myred911 Posted 25May, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 25May, 2011 Rob, Congratulations on the delivery. Another another treasure saved from the dampness of the UK. May you enjoy her to the fullest and eventually pass her to another enthusiast. Forum rules apply - plenty of pix please and any updates. rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slocs Posted 26May, 2011 Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Thanks for the support guys, and don't worry there will be plenty of pics! I've already started compiling my list of spares and miscellaneous parts that I need - it appears either Pelican Parts, Automotion, or Auto Atlanta are the go. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks again, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vas930 Posted 26May, 2011 Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Hard to beat Pelican Rob,great prices and quick. Just had another good experience with them. Be sure to have a payment system worked out first if you have not ordered with them before. If not it can be frustrating. Iv found the PayPal system the best. If something has to be perfect and you have concerns, the Porsche dealerships are great. Good Luck Rob ,hope to see you and your 911 in Vic some day. Vas.

Slocs Posted 26May, 2011 Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Thanks Vas. Don't worry, it'll visit Vic - my family are from just west of Hamilton, and there are some great roads to be explored! Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myred911 Posted 26May, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Agree with you Vas about PP. Their service is hard to beat, responses to queries timely, delivery to OZ is generally fairly quick. Have discovered that it is more economical to accumulate parts to your PP wishlist thus spreading the postage cost rather than order items more frequently. I have tested this recently. I needed a few small parts for my SC, the parts cost about UD$16 and the postage was a minimum of US$32 so the wishlist sat there for a few months (waiting for the US$ to plummet) and while I scoured the cars for bits to add. It didn't happen so I ordered these parts through PAP Parts yesterday with postage US$15. This thread will give you a head-up on suppliers. Keep in mind there are several many good suppliers here in OZ who will be keep for your business. Cheers, rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocs Posted 26May, 2011 Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Thansk guys. I got home from work a little early this afternoon and snapped some pics - sorry the car is a little dirty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myred911 Posted 26May, 2011 Author Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Rob, How good she looks against the background - almost British. Are you sure she has left the UK? And those plates? Is that the new NSW style. Thanks for the pix. rEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 26May, 2011 Report Share Posted 26May, 2011 Hi Rob, I am sure that behind the camera is a guy with a grin from ear to ear. Looks great, love the piping details on the seats. I guess the rear fog lights are a UK delivery add-on. I also like the new avatar. Yours is bigger than mine Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
