After a long road ordering this thing, car has finally been built and we have a VIN.

Looks like it's been on and off a ship in Southampton so far, but now absolutely glued to WWL tracking site to follow its 6 weeks at sea.

How could it be this exciting? :)

You're a more patient man than I, who thankfully was able to find one that ticked almost every box rather than having to wait!

One thing is for sure, it will be worth the wait....

It's cool tracking the ship, I know I drove my missus up the wall with updates about ours. Although with ours, once the ship passed through the Panama Canal, the radar tracking didn't update for well over a week & when it did it was 1 day from Brisbane.

The hardest bit was knowing once it had been off loaded at Port Kembla, it took another 2 weeks for it to get to the dealers, but trust me....it will be so worth the wait, that smell of leather etc the first time you open the door is worth every cent you pay.

Good to hear Jimlr. After just over four months, mine should be ready for pick up in 2 weeks... and Mum always said I lacked patience?
