Going to get an early night tonight as flying to Adelaide tomorrow. Got lots to do next week, i.e. find a rental house, activate bank account, get tax file numbers, buy a banger car to get about in untill the VW's are ready/road legal and go and see the shipping agents about our stuff.
So busy week for us!

Hi Gavin, thanks for offer mate, really appreciated. We have bought a Holden Belina 3.8 V6 to boot about in untill the cars are sorted. Container has arrived. We are off to see the agents today and get the rego sorted on the Holden. We are sorting Oz mobiles out today, so I will give you a call once we are done. You have kindly given me your mobile number allready mate. We are staying in Happy Valley at the moment with friend, so we are only just down the road from you!

Cheers

Cheers Jarred, yeah exiting but scary!!
Tried to get some sense out of the shipping agents today. They are trying to put me onto a broker to arrange the cars once out of Quarrantine and Customs, but neither side seems to know what to do!!! They were asking me queastions as if I had done this sort of thing before???
Been on to TNT as the broker recommended by the shipping agents. I am trying to get info over to them to proceed, but as long as the cars are out of container and in the bonded store in one bit I will feel 100% better about it all.

[joshyd-mk2gti]

hot enough over there for ya???

got everything sorted out yet?

[VR6 STORM]

Hi, yeah warm enough allright!!
We have got a rental now in Woodcroft, got all our household stuff, bought a Holden Commodore Berlina as a run about, got Oz driving liscences, etc etc.
Still have not got the cars from Customs and Quarantine!! They are in the bonded store at our agents waiting for customs inspections!!!
We have got the compliance paperwork now after lodging the import approvals at regency park. Just got to work out what we need to do to make them comply (obvious one is the rear child seat restraints, dunno why they should be so different in Australia?)
The cars will have seriously flat batteries by now!
