    Hey tigtsi,
    I know exactly how you feel! Now you can spend endless hours on the marinetraffic.com website, watching your Tig inch its way to you. That's what I've just done, and yesterday, I picked up my new pride and joy. All I can say is that every second of the wait is absolutely worth it!

    regards,
    John.

      John,
      Congrats on getting your new tig! I Just have to wait until its on the ship, then can start tracking. How long did your Tig take to get to Newcastle once it was on the ship? Mine will take a little longer as it needs to go to Melbourne.

        Hi Matt,
        If your Tig takes the same route as mine, it will go Perth - Melbourne - Port Kembla - Brisbane. My Tiggy left Bremerhaven on 6th Jan, arrived Pt Kembla on 16th Feb, and was "discharged" from Pt Kembla 21st Feb. I got it yesterday, 3rd March. Some people think I'm crazy - but I actually enjoyed the wait... especially being able to track it on its journey (although the days when the ship is out of range of the tracking system are excruciating!).
        One thing for sure - no matter how painful, the wait is absolutely worth it!!

          Thanks for the info.
          I kinda agree with you about the wait. It was exciting initially choosing the Tig, then i decided i would forget about it and not even ask the dealer how it was progressing, until about 8weeks after ordering I asked and found out it was ready for shipping. Now it is exciting again as i know that I will soon be able to track it on its journey.

            I have to agree. It makes a big difference being able to get online and actually track the location of the ship.

            Kinda makes the wait easier and as you can see it inch closer. It builds the anticipation.

            Nothing like waiting on something you have no idea how long it will take or where its at.

            The tracking system makes it tangible and more "real"

            Hopefully not too long now to you get it

            Enjoy!!

              Finally the 147 has been loaded on the vessel "Manon"
              I have been getting "no records found" for the last 2 weeks, until today!!!
              ETA 1 month from now - plus add a couple of weeks or so until it is at the dealership.

                Just as a tease, its currently north of France (if this is the one)




                Love the fact you can follow these round the world

                FYI it really should only take two weeks for customs to release it and your dealer to have it ready - my wait was just short of that: 1 week, three days
