withers Posted 6January, 2016 Report Share Posted 6January, 2016 I can only say WOO HOO to this thread!Oh and damn your PFA rules, I'm coming on the SMT to celebrate this wonderful occasion! I drive past Appleton Dock Road twice a day (where TORRENS is docked now) and often see some nice candy on the back of trucks leaving the docks (new Mustangs most recently) how amazing would it be if i saw Chris GT4 on one! I better make sure i have my phone camera ready just in case! Stranger things have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to send me that link so I can use it late March So sounds like Porsches get moved very quickly to safe storage? I wonder what happens with MINIs then So you saw it come off the boat then! Oh my can't even imagine how that must have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 6January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 6January, 2016 No didn't see it actually come off but I could see all the cars lined up from a distance and a white GT4 in picture then saw trucks move them all off the dock by mid morning. Was happy to know it was safely indoors in case there was any storms around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what happens with MINIs then So you saw it come off the boat then! Oh my can't even imagine how that must have been I think minis are a similar experience, but they are more likely to sit on the docks in the open for a day or two. I remember doing this same thing for my first one 11 years ago (woah!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted 6January, 2016 Report Share Posted 6January, 2016 Haha - we are taking stalking to a new level. A mate of mine (also a 991 GT3 owner) is actually the port pilot of my ship as it comes into the bay this morning. This was taken of it cruising past Carrum about 10mins ago.

Snowman Posted 7January, 2016 Report Share Posted 7January, 2016 My mate got some pics of it too for me at the docks. It's so close now! Apparently there were a couple of GT3 RS in the shipment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-p Posted 13January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 13January, 2016 So the wait continues for us GT4 and RS waiters at the moment. It seems that the 3 boats that arrived in Australia last week had some vehicles that had dirt and leaves on them and so AQIS quarantined all the cars until a solution could be worked out. The solution is that all the vehicles have to be washed and reinspected before clearance. In Melbourne currently there is only one wash bay that can be used for this and so its a very slow process. Its not PCA's fault, its just one of those things and we just have to wait until each car is re cleaned and then cleared. Right at the moment no-one can say when our cars will be delivered. It will not be this week and may not even be next week so there is a chance no car for SMT on the 24th but hopefully it wont be that long.....

Mine was due to be delivered to the dealer this morning but Patricks have gone on strike so no deliveries today. They are on strike today from 6am until 6am tomorrow and then from 10am tomorrow until 2pm so maybe Wednesday but who knows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the wait only makes the ownership more amazing.I guess that old proverb of "good things come to those who wait" is very relevant at the moment.
