pickles, you have had some serious metal, did you get so interested in the car pre delivery?

Well done. I hope that Keswick one isn't mine. Its supposed to still be on board, making its way round to Brisbane.
The closer it gets the worse the wait becomes. At least yours is on dry land now so can't be too much longer.
Mine was born on 3/12/15 so they are nearly twins. At least neither of us got a Friday car.
Cheers,
Jon
Absolutely we were interested in it, right from the time of order, to 6 months later when it arrived at the Dealers, went through the P.D. with them,...they actually invited us in to see how we wanted things done.Quote:

It's an intriguing story, and one that I'm sure you'll become engrossed in as you learn all about yours.
Wifey & I have been lucky enough to have a few good cars,..Gracie ain't the "BEST" (C63 takes that prize, by a LLOONNGG way!) one, but she is most definitely the one that we most look forward to drive, & the one in which we have had the most fun,......and all this is in front of you!!
Regards, Pickles.
NB: ONE THING. Ring your dealer IMMEDIATELY & have him retain the broadcast/build sheet for you, and also retain all the stickers they pull off the car/windows etc, & get 'em to place them on a sheet of plastic.
Well done Andrew,some great pictures there. When my Hugh arrived the Asian King was over a day late, so the closest I got to it was about 1500 ft on the climb out & right hand turn over Fremantle on the way to KL. The wait will be well worthwhile.
This is Land Rover Tragics Anonymous isn't it?Quote:

Well, how you look at them is up to you. I wouldn't say that "normal" people think of these things, but then again, I'm not "normal"!!. If you look at any old/classic cars, particularly American Muscle / Mustangs etc etc, many of them have "production documentation" etc, which is the stuff I'm referring to.Quote:

Similarly with the window stickers,..no they are not "official" stuff, but they are part of the factory build process pertaining to my car,...so of value to me!!

Great pictures Andrew, your Defender really stands out from the crowd.
Great pictures mate, I could only take photos of the ship from fare away when it was unloading my defender.Quote:

Looks terrific - what a bonus getting some decent pics - I've no chance of getting that close when the ship arrives in Melbourne - I could always wait & stalk the car transporter as my 90 makes its way to Geelong:cool:Quote:
