when my coupe left LA for melbourne it took 16 days.............you got the slow boat from China:smile01:

pony13 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2011, 06:55:46 pm »

I think my point was that it didnt sit on the docks for weeks and the 6 weeks is probably an absolute worst case scenario.I hope anyway.
16 days now that would be cool.

the 16 days was the actual sailing time of the vessel only which came via Auckland..........

I know how frustrating it is waiting for it to arrive......probably most of us here have been through it, good luck & I hope it turns out to be all you expected.....cheers

Just lucky i guess although he is going back in 2 weeks time to load up more containers.
Not sure how often ships leave for Melbourne but the import business has never been better i guess.
Go the aussie dollar :smile02:

Got told maybe another 3 weeks till arrival.
Man this is killing me reading how everybody elses cars are being delivered.

Pony13..

Once you know the vessel name let us know... Might actually see her cruise past my office window on her way into berth.

Igalop... I see you may have another recruit for LGC or MOCA Vic now that Paul has come back to Melb..

Cheers, Doc

Ok just an update,
Turns out the car never left the docks for 3 weeks due to a spot customs inspection but is now due to arrive 25 September.

A couple more pics.

Good things come to those who wait, i hope so anyway.

Shame about the delay Pony but it looks to be worth the wait. Very tidy!

IGALOP · « **Reply #37 on:** September 12, 2011, 04:21:21 pm »

Pony13, that absolutely looks the bees knees, congrats on such a bloody nice looking ride.

It will be worth the wait.

Nice looking engine bay!!

pony13 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 20, 2011, 07:20:32 pm »

Today i recieved the final invoice for gst and all the other money grabbing fees they can think of,but on a positive note found out the ship is at the docks and car may be unpacked from container either Thursday or Friday.
Also sent off the application to join up as a member last week, so another member for the valley crew.

Will let you know when we get the car safely home.One quick question though do you think i should drive the car home or tow on a trailer,i am confident it will make the trip but i dont want to break down on the side of the road.
Mark.

Awesome looking car Mark

ace69 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 22, 2011, 04:30:05 pm »

Pony13, If your worried about the coupe making the trip home from the docks just hire a trailer from either gunns gully BP or one of the United's in moe or traf as i have used trailers from both BP and United and have found them to good to tow and in great condition. Or spring for a tilt tray but that would be costly i'd think and good luck with the pick up, cheers Adam

P.S looking forward to seeing the coupe in the flesh

pony13 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 22, 2011, 08:11:34 pm »

Thanks guys for kind words, will drive the car home at this stage guys are unloading containers today and tomorrow so i suppose i will pick up car next week.
Keep you posted.

IGALOP · « **Reply #43 on:** September 22, 2011, 08:28:21 pm »

Good luck with the trip down to Moe. When you are settled why not come down to Sale/Longford and show us Mustangers down here your beautiful new toy?

pony13 · « **Reply #44 on:** September 22, 2011, 08:35:10 pm »

Love to go for a cruise down that way and hopefully come for a spin with the locals to the next club meeting, just waiting for a response to my application.

IGALOP · « **Reply #45 on:** September 22, 2011, 08:37:10 pm »

Keep us informed.

Car unloaded from its container today, fired right up.It goes through customs on Monday afternoon.
I have decided to drive it home which is about 140kms which technically will be its maiden voyage.
Previous owner only ever drove it up and down his sealed driveway as the main road was unsealed for 5 miles.

Nice colour. Looks like a good sleeper.
