looks like there was a hold up at Savannah. Running a day late into Auckland now with an ETA of 2nd June

That seems to have translated to two days at Port Kembla, moving from the 6th to the 8th. Maybe it's laden down with our Mustangs and not making enough speed ;)

How do you work out the car numbers?

Given the [lack of] interest in this thread I wouldn't have expected a large number of Aussie cars.

I have to admit to be surprised at how quickly I made it onto a boat, (based on previous indication from the forum). I placed my order with the dealer Jan 11, got the NSC Jan 20 and built on 6th April. (Dealer indicated August-September delivery).

Internally I'm hoping for a delivery by end of June.:)

[MENTION=29917]auj4[/MENTION] - the dealer you ordered from would have had that car coming hence the short turn around. All they would have had to do is change it to your specs before it became 'frozen' around early Feb.

I ordered mine 22/1/17 and was built same date as you.

Cool :headbang: I'm not complaining. It's way better than the 14 months a friend waited for his Ruby Red '16.

I went through all the cars listed as boarding this vessel on the 2W web site and could only find 4 for Auckland.

Wow - I ordered my car mid August last year. It's been a long wait for me ! I guess some have waited longer though previously

Got my "Your Mustang has set sail" email today.

Satellite AIS placed the Tugela at approximately 15 45.7S 124 7.3W (A few thousand Km east of Papa'ete). NFI on how accurate that actually is, since the most recent update is still saying 18th May which is when it would have been closer to Panama.

Getting to the pointy end of mod expenses too. (Bigworm stripes arrived yesterday and are now stored flat underneath my bed).

no e-mail sent to me, but i can see the ship will be late into Auckland, was the 1st then the 2nd now possibly the 3rd June depending on where you look. 2W site says the 3rd but Ports of Auckland site says 2nd. its only in Auckland for a day then heading over the ditch.

just checked the POA site again, its due in Auckland 0500hrs on the 3rd June departing 2200hrs so a bit behind schedule, I think it was longer in Savannah and then missed its slot at the Panama Canal so expect a bit of a delay in getting to Aussie

I also got my email yesterday - almost here! Now its time to get serious on a plan for all the mods! You gentleman would not know of a place that can paint my side scoops, purchase and install front parking sensors and install springs I have already purchased?
