Thread: 2013 D4 Information

Ive been off work and down the beach each morning. There was a car carrier in port and one sitting out in Gage Roads for three mornings when I went down for a swim. The turn around over New Year had obviously slowed right down. I was thinking "I hope there aren't any Ladies on that one. Some people will be tearing their hair out" Glad to see its come in and gone on it's way to Melbourne.

The 6 day strike at Freo Port caused a bit of a backlog too ....

Cheers,

Gordon

The Toreador was in and out the same day, however sat out off the coast for 24 hours.
Does anyone know why it takes so long to deliver a Vehicle?
The car gets to port on the 8th but delivery is the 29th.

Ahh, so that's what it was.

One side question, the other day I was driving along Leach Highway and saw many car transporters loaded up (and a lot of empty ones heading into Freo) and it got me wondering if the cars were removed from the dock asap and taken to another big warehouse for the customs to go over or do they process them completely in the harbour? Had those cars I saw been released and were heading to dealers?

I've noticed alot of transporters coming out of the ports, so I guess they're cleared on the docks.

Had to go to RCH this morning so I popped down to the port after and had a look at the shipment of Land Rovers.
Some nice D4's, White with the black pack and was happy to see, what I believe was, my D4.
Heaps of Audi's, Beamers,VW's and Mercs including a bunch of G series in Camo, both wagons and Utes.
Alot of transporters loading up cars, just not Land Rovers, but the guys there where taking numbers and going over the cars.
Now the wait for delivery, hopefully not to long since they are only 1500m, as the bird flys, from the dealer.

That must be killing you! You can see it, touch it, but you just can't drive it! If you see an orkney grey D4 with black pack, rub the seagull crap off for me, it's mine.

Toreador berths in Port Kembla this morning, so mine should be back on dry land again today. Must be about time to contact the dealer and do something about selling the D3 - I'm going to miss it.

Cheers,
