Had an email from Ford yesterday to tell me that my Mustang had been built and had just left Baltimore on the "Tamerlane RO RO Cargo". It actually left Baltimore last year and is in Brisbane pilotage waters as I type this. ETA in Melbourne is forenoon 26 Jan. Looks like Ford is a little behind the times. I should tell them that the ship is called "Tamerlane" and that RO RO Cargo simply refers to a roll on roll off cargo vessel class. Amateurs 😙

Maybe I was earlier I'll have to have a look, I'm so keen to see what the Aussie spec GT in our colour looks like it's next to impossible to find any stuff about the ones that have been delivered, nothing on YouTube or google!
I'm frothing for info/reviews haha.

Saw two Fastbacks over the weekend around Brisbane.  A dark green one (must've been in Guard colour and with the sun looked lighter) heading along the Ipswich motorway inbound around Darra on Saturday before midday; and a another in I think Magnetic driving south on Ipswich road around Annerley on Sunday around 9am. 

To be honest, could've been the same car!  Didn't get a close enough look to see if it was a GT or EcoBoost, but looked damn nice and made me want one!

Tamerlane has rounded Gabo Is with an ETA in Melbourne tomorrow. Wonder how long it will take Ford to clear the GT and have it in my dealer's hands?

That is interesting.

After an email campaign from my wife that must have bordered on stalking, Ford MEB HO called me with an update on my GT ragtop yesterday. It was apparently built on 11 Dec. got on a train on Jan 4th for a 14 day journey to Baltimore, where it takes another 20 days to give it some anti corrosion spray, a wash, and a plastic wrap, before a 35 day cruise to Parramatta.

Which raises a couple of questions.

What was it doing between Dec 11th and Jan 4th?

How does it take 14 days on a train to get to Baltimore? I suspect a fit guy could walk it faster than that.

If they are washing it there, why is my dealer charging a thousand dollars to wash it again when it gets here?

And, given the weather in Baltimore, they had better have filled the radiator with anti-freeze AND remembered to put the roof up!!

You're doing well if your dealer delivery is $1,000

Nah, that's just for the wash. I think DD was about $2k all up.

I believe there are many cars in Baltimore awaiting shipment (including mine) that were produced in early to mid December. The indication from Ford that 90 days would pass from production to delivery appears overly optimistic. But the fact that some cars from December are on the water is puzzling. No real pattern. Yep - hope the windows are up.

Mine was built on 30 Nov, sailed on 23 Dec and arrived in Melbourne 26 Jan. Expect to get car around mid Feb so 2.5 months from build to delivery . . . fingers crossed.

No photos, just computer generated images. No idea about hood indicators on the 2016 build. I expect that mine won't have them despite it being a MY16.

That's a bit mean - our dealer sent us a couple of pics when it was ready to pick up.

You will be surprised how different it looks in the flesh.

It's going to be a good day  :grin:
