Tracking Progress on your Polo and Polo GTI

[Frostee]

That's correct. I got my VIN on 4th March then nothing changed for a while. Next update was 10th March when everything was filled out.

My last update on 10th March shows it departing Port of shipment 18th March, but as of today nothing registers with the VIN on the shipping search website. I'm hoping Payno is correct about the Don Pasquale with ETA Melbourne on 30/4, however does seem too early given NADCON shows my arrival as 24th May??

Exit Production Plant 9/03/11
Arrival Port of Shipment 11/03/11
Departure Port of Shipment 18/03/11
Departure last Port of Transit 12/04/11
Arrival at Port of Destination 23/05/11
Departure from Port of Destination 23/05/11
Arrival at final Destination 24/05/11


Gav's on other thing. I note in your description of your spec you say you have "audio pack with MDI." I'm correct I think when I say that the audio pack by default comes with the MDI?

[gavs]

Yeah, I think you're right
Fingers crossed that by this time next week they're on their way to the boat, or even better, on the boat!

[GTI JOE]

Yeah thanks Frostee,

I thought that might be the case (fields filing in all in one hit), my spider sense tells me that Gav and I may have our VIN next week
Yep, MDI is part of the Audio Pack!

Asked for the NADCON screenshots the other day, haven't heard a reply. Think I'll just trust the dealer on that it's arriving in September since a lot of other people's are arriving around there. What upgrades are you planning to get?

i've been keeping an eye on the development of a front mount intercooler, also interested by an exhaust and definitely looking at an ECU flash. which will push my car towards 40k all up i imagine >.<

Keen to learn about anything you're considering. Costs and benefits and possible risks re warranty.

Frostee I've lost hope we were on that ship...

Next one to leave is the Toreador.. not until the 29/3 though.
GTI Joe and Gav... you guys have some time to catch up!

It arrives Freo 01/05 and the rest of Aus shortly after that. Surely we will be on that one!

Early January I decided to purchase a Polo GTI, was told by all dealers in Brisbane and virtually South East Queensland the dozen so cars allocated were all sold and supply was not available till July this year.

The same story was repeated with every phone call, however I new dealership was granted in Brisbane and they were allocated one Polo GTI.

Expecting delivery early April.

That's great news for you. What is the spec of the vehicle?

Woah, payno, you might be correct! Maybe, just maybe GTI Joe and I will both be on that boat too seeing as we (well, I know mine is but all other stages have been together) are in production now!

[GTI JOE]

Fingers crossed dude....just maybe, this week!!!!

[gavs]

Tell me about it!! I have even downloaded all the shipping schedules from Bremerhaven to melbourne!

[Ralfi]

Good luck guys. Would be cool if you were all in the same boat.

/pun.

I've heard of Train Spotters and Plane Spotters, but Ship Spotters? Is there an Anorak in your wardrobe

[gavs]

Ha! I dont think I will go to the extreme of watching the boat unload at the port tho
