G'day,
My name is Ken.
I am the proud owner of a new Mustang that is currently on its pacific cruise.
I have found this site to be a wealth of knowledge and information. Thanks heaps.
I ordered my race red 2.3l fastback (SBMB9B1) on the 23 May this year, naturally expecting about a years + wait.
on 18 June the dealer rang me in the morning and asked if i wanted it early as they had some movement in their orders, didn't take too much thought, i said yes.
From that point on i started trying to track the vehicle. I managed to get the NSC number and from that i got the VIN and so on.
this other mustang site healped a lot
http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37055on the bill of loading it indicated 16 vehicles. Im not say they are all Mustangs, but they might be for those waiting.
Attached is the bill of loading, and a map of the route being taken by the ship (named Tamesis).
The Tamisis is currently sailing between Panama and French Polynesia, expected to get there about 7 July.
The other ports it is stopping at are:
Auckland (14 July)
Brisbane (18 July)
Port Kembla (21 July)
Melbourne (24 July)
aftre that I dont care, but just for info Fremantle (29 July)
After this is the 7-10 days ports/customs the 3-5 days dealership.
I'll be one happy person in August!! only after a 3 month wait.
Regards
Ken
