Snowman Posted 25November, 2015 Report Share Posted 25November, 2015 Mines also now on a boat - just a couple of days behind Chris and Roders.Although I'm banking on my captain making a dive under brakes as they round Cape Town. Have told the kids we are moving Xmas back a couple of weeks as a consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted 26November, 2015 Report Share Posted 26November, 2015 Once you know the VIN# you can track it on-line through shipping sites.This site tells you which ship it is on, and then what the schedule for it is.https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?frameId=144842418861124317&url=https%3A%2F%2Fatt.2wglobal.com%2Fgstattweb%2Focean.do%3Fmethod%3DgetDefaultOceanQuickSearchPage And then this site tells you where the ship is in the world!

Cheers,Geoff.Slightly misleading however in that they aren't Cayman GT4's as we are getting - or even the new Cayman GT4 CS's race cars.They are a Cayman S built to FIA GT4 (as opposed to GT3) regulations. So really they are just a Cayman S racecar as below. The new race Cayman GT4 CS's would be a LOT faster than these will be (in fact you couldn't race one here in anything sadly as they are a lot quicker than GT4 spec cars and are effectively old 997 Cup car quick).

IMOA Posted 28November, 2015 Report Share Posted 28November, 2015 Cayman GT4s and Bathurst, just a wonderful combinationThe wait is worth it, they are magnificent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted 29November, 2015 Report Share Posted 29November, 2015 ^^ That looks mega. I contemplated getting a second set of rims in the palladium until I saw the $12.5K without rubber price tag!Hopefully I'll take mine to Bathurst in April - presuming that Rennsport Australia is still going ahead. Will make a nice detour on the road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
