Mike737 Posted 3January, 2016 Report Share Posted 3January, 2016 Have you received an official pick up day? Or died that only happen once they've unloaded and inspected it.I think the SMT will be a day that goes down in PFA history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 3January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 3January, 2016 Hi Mike, it's pencilled in for Friday the 15th at this stage. They wanted the 16th but we have our daughter home that day so she comes before the car. So it may well be Monday the 18th if there is a delay for whatever reason. Then it's going in to have protective film on the front half of the car...certainly going to be a mega SMT. A few of us got together yesterday to have a chat about it actually....

BAFE Posted 3January, 2016 Report Share Posted 3January, 2016 there is no way i could go and watch the boat being unloaded.What if you saw something you did't like? ignorance is bliss sometimes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 3January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 3January, 2016 Nah, they cannot do burn outs or anything like that as they have a predelivery ecu fitted which only allows they car to be driven at 15kmh. More worried about thunder storms forecast for tomorrow. Better not be any hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted 3January, 2016 Report Share Posted 3January, 2016 Mine's not too far behind either Chris.Ship has left Freo and is somewhere crossing The Bite now. Due in dock on Thursday so in theory I should also be getting mine sometime around the 18-20th as well. I'll pop down to PCB later in the week and see if they have a better idea on a pick-up date but it looks like I should definitely be right for the SMT.

Chris-p Posted 4January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 4January, 2016 Yes it's there now Mike and I am watching it via webcam courtesy of the port authority. Amazing technology, can zoom in and currently it's sister ship is being loaded ready to depart during the early morning. So 10 months after I placed the order it's really here. Won't sleep tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
