She certainly wasn t docked at 1500, I was down at Pt. Kembla at 1600 and she was still waiting out at sea for a dock.

Sorry Guys... all wrong.. she docked about 7am and was heading to Bris by 1400...
Mate of mine works for PortKembla Ports, and they got Otello in and out before that nasty weather hit. Should be getting some pics of the Skoda offload today to post im hoping.

Pretty much turns out unless there's a hurricane or 5meter swells nothing stops the shipping of that size any more. Seems the IT/Tracking of the ships lacks a bit to be desired for accuracy thats all.

Touch wood there are no late scratchings!

I'm jealous of course, especially of CanberravRS...but they are all nice cars.

Thanks for that Gaz i did have a little chuckle when i read your post.

No scratches allowed on this Melbourne Cup we hope.

My dealer called today - mainly about securing the finance before all the interest rates go up next week...

He couldn't give me an answer on when it will be loaded onto a truck. He said the current status of the vehicle is still 'unloading.' Have my doubts about getting it before next weekend as they originally thought.

I'm surprised to hear that. I would have thought car finance interest rates would have factored in this weeks rise some time ago. Just do a little checking to make sure that you aren't getting conned.
