Feeling a bit ripped as I know this is crap!

Maybe it gives them the option of swapping cars around the country - who knows!

Nope.
Pretty sure I got a VIN when production commenced, which I then loaded into a tracking map to show where Gracie was on the water before she landed in Aus?

Yeah I got my VIN before production even commenced, all order slots should have a VIN allocated. I could then double check the specs on Topix to make sure they'd got it right.

You might be right about swapping vehicles around, but it'd have to be a pretty generic build spec you'd think to get away with that?

Well mine is travelling in the company of two other 110's, a 90, and two Range Rover Sports. I wonder what they are getting up to...

I'd love to see what spawns from a passionate night between a Range Rover Sport SVR and a Defender 110

I'm heading down to Fremantle tomorrow to see if I can see my little bus and make sure the Asian King didn't sink. Delivery is feeling awfully close now

So I got my VIN and plugged it into the 2W Global tracking page and I'm a little confused. In the voyage details it says the ETA for Fremantle is 16/1/16, but in the 'Status' section below it says Liner Release in Fremantle 13/1/16.

So I guess it's already here and unloaded? My car's birthday is 1/12/15

If you go to the Fremantle port's website: https://www3.fremantleports.com.au/VTMIS/ it shows the Asian King docking at 4:00am tomorrow.

I wonder how they change The VIN on the dock since its bolted to the car. I understood it tied all the details together as It rolls down the production line

My Landy has landed!

We went down to Fremantle this afternoon to see if the ship was in and sure enough the Asian King had unloaded and was preparing to leave. They're certainly efficient, having only arrived that morning.

We didn't expect to be able to see much, but went for a drive alongside the docks anyway. There were lots of BMWs, Porsches and various other makes, then we got to the Land Rovers and eventually started seeing Defenders. Sure enough, at the very end of the line of cars unloaded, was my little Corris 110 (w/black pack, contrast leather, side steps, front mud flaps all there as ordered). It absolutely made my day

There didn't seem to be many 110s on the docks. Just my car, a white one, a Keswick (I think?) and what seemed like an awful lot of handsome looking 90s.

Anyway, I jammed my camera through the gaps in the fence and snapped a few cheeky shots to keep me going while I wait for a call from the dealer to say she's ready. It'll be a long couple of weeks, but I couldn't be more excited! Naturally, I had to spend the afternoon at a bar to calm down
