I have found you gents a new Desktop Background to help soothe your angst:

Nice one Drew....My whining is nothing compared to the anger coming from the missus.....although I have managed to drag the car out as a Christmas present for two years now...I might get stabbed if I have to try it on again next year.

Awwww...thanks Drew, but I already have a race red Mustang as a desktop background and I think the "red bullshit" might clash with it!!

That picture gives me an idea on why some cars may be delayed. Look how they are boxed in. So the cars on the outside would typically get moved first and the ones stuck in the middle would be... literally, for a lack of a better word "stuck".

Not much happening. A few more ships added for later in the year, numbers on boats as far as the Talisman are all updated.

Hi All,
There are 167 cars booked on the Endurance, 2 seemed to have fallen off the Salome! Everything else the same.
Cheers, David

Update: 30 Jan 2016
The Endurance is on the move, and has 34 Mustangs more loaded than previously indicated.
Cars on the Talisman that are destined for Port Kembla and Brisbane will be transferred on the Morning Calypso.
General updates to ship names and dates of departure and arrival.

For all of the cars arriving, I've only seen the arse end of one RR GT convertible on the road. The weather was fine and the roof was down!

Finally have my own promised build date of Apr 16 from FordAU on Facebook, with delivery 90 days later. (I know, promises, promises). Interestingly, my dealer suggested an original delivery month when ordering of Sep 16. I've enquired twice since and both times the dealer said it has been brought forward to Jun 16, even though they had no "official" notification from FordAU. So, surprisingly, the dealer has been on the money! I guess I'll keep this spreadsheet updated for a little while longer!

I have had a search but can't find it being checked for sure and since we are getting the lower grilles that are used for ACC, I wanted to ask any of the new owners, if we do in fact get the Adaptive Cruise Control?


Edit: Nevermind, I can see that EU and UK cars also get the same lower grille and no ACC on theirs.

Update 6 Feb 2016

Well, as though on the Faust know, another batch has been added, so a total of 252 Mustangs on that boat. That is the largest number on a single boat so far.

This is how I have been tracking what's going where. I don't understand why the booking numbers and bill of lading numbers change mid-route - surely they would want to park all the cars getting off in Melbourne next to each other. Really is odd that boats stop at Brisbane and Port Kembla but almost always unload at Melbourne, and then cars are either trucked or shipped back on another boat. Not efficient and must be less profit (and more chance of damage if being unloaded, stored and reloaded).

And here's the latest chart.

Congrats to all those enjoying their Mustangs (extremely jealous), those on boats (very jealous) and those with VINs, being manufactured or sitting on the docks (reasonably jealous). As someone else said, I think mine is still ore in Western Australia :frusty:

Update: 13 Mar 2013

Not much happening, just a few extra on the Fidelio, 39 to Brisbane, 43 to Port Kembla, 81 to Melbourne, for a total of 163 on the boat.

Not really worth a new chart.
