i hope that's not my car skoda is playing with for their crash tests!?!?!?!
hehehehhe

[SKODA vRS147]

there are 2 ships leaving next week, bound for oz, arriving 30 & 31st oct at port kembla.
fingers crossed we get a spot on either the tamesis or otello.



tamesis - via USA
otello - via south africa

the asian king left last sat on the 6th, but i highly doubt mine made it on that.
it due to arrive here on 14th oct.

SKODA vRS147 - i didn't realise how similar our cars are. looks like week 35 was "build yellow octavias" week!! lol

Yep it is certainly looking that way, should go down to the dock on arrival and see how many come off.
Gotta admit it is not the most popular colour over here - i have only seen one on the road and a few in various showroom around the country.
At least my wife will be able to spot me coming more easily when it arrives as at the moment i am driving a grey one and it blends in with all the others. LOL

Whosever it was, it made me sad to see!

I'm happy to see that.
I would rather they tested cars for crash worthiness before they sold one to me thank you very much.

[woofy]

I was wondering whether it was testing to get the proper safety rating on them. They haven't done a test since the first release of the Octy II in 2004, it would be good if they can say for sure now that they are 5 star, instead of saying they would have been if they had the same airbags as now.

By the sound of things we could do with a lot more arriving when customers are waiting weeks.
If they want to make a real impact on the market they will need to satisfy the demand........

is it coming here on the "queen sapphire"?

do u have a production build date?
i'm just curious to know how long it takes between build date & shipped off date.

[wiv1]

i dont have any info i rang the dealer at the start of the month he rang back the next day with the info, he said it arrives in fremantle
on the 24th
so id say 3months but that was with the factory shuting down or some bs.

[woofy]

Unfortunately, its not BS. The Skoda factory shuts down which is the cause of a lot of lag and low stock. If you order close to June/July etc you have to wait until the end of summer for them to fulfil, so if you want an ordered car, you want to get it in now until about Feb otherwise you will wait until Sept/Oct next year.

Last year was quieter due to the GFC, and they cut back production, so hopefully they are ramping it up again. It's also the reason why they got a few wagon superbs to take orders with, but noone really can get them until this month.

I think it's an historical thing that Skoda does, wish my company gave me summer off...

hmmm....i don't see any ships arriving on the 24th.....according to the shipping company schedules.
The next few ships due to arrive into fremantle, from bremerhaven (germany) are.....
1. Queen Sapphire - 14 sep (departed 10 aug)
2. Oberon - 28 sep (departed 05 aug)
3. Morning Cello - 28 sep (departed 23 aug)
4. Bess - 6 oct (departed 1 sep)
5. Asian King - 7 oct (departed 6 sep)

[wiv1]
