Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[apples]

after missing the boat leaving durban on the marine traffic website, i just checked that the boat is about to dock in fremantle in approximately 2 hours. i've checked this website everyday for the past two weeks and now i can actually see the boat. yes i am that excited to see an arrow move an inch closer to australia. haha.

Ahhh babs, I remember those days. Even when the Boheme was in the middle of the ocean and I knew she wouldn't show up on the marine website, I still looked for her every day. And when I knew she was arriving in Port of Melbourne I was constantly checking it....even to the point of going on the live web cams. Looking back I can't believe how tragic I was

Bet none of you guys tracked the ship on live webcam as it passed through the Panama canal. WEEEEEH!

lol... bet you'd be wrong

My car didn't go via the Panama canal, but others have, and there have been screenshots...

hell, I even put a video of my boat carrying my car on this site somewhere.... lol

hehe i know pretty obsessive but at the same time it's so awesome, but compared to other people on this forum they're way more hardcore than us. well i'm off to the therapist anyhow.

If there was a Scirocco or Golf R to buy at the time, it probably would have been.

Thanks Emmanuel
Sadly I watched it on tracker when it arrived. Only 7 days till Port Kembla! Guess it comes overland from Melbourne for you?

[emmanuellives]

Yea, unfortuantly the ship goes right past Adelaide (like most things). but it is only an 10 hour truck drive from Melbourne!!! Can't wait, stupid VW dealer won't give me any times either!

Actually hold that note VW dealer said it would take 5-6 weeks from Arrival in Melbourne due to me getting the Sports Body Kit (FML). I would have thought they would have fitted that in the factory if it is a factory order!!!

thinking about my custom plates now though!!! any suggestions:
