Ineos have such a sense of humour.
I received an email advising my vehicle has left the factory and could I make my first payment............of the total amount.
They assure me it will be quick and easy............sounds like something you might hear in prison.

Thread update @DaveB? Telephoto lens out? Enjoying your new hobby?

DaveB said:

I recommend you stop asking.
Who cares which ship it is on?
I have owned over 20 cars in the last 50+ years and I can't recall ever knowing which ship they have arrived in Australia on.

Still sitting at anchor and the Morning Cherry (who comes up with these names???) just docked at the car terminal. I guess it will be at least 2-3 days more.

Have you worn a deep path pacing back and forth like an expectant father? Except your grenny has the gestation period of an elephant.

It's been 2 months since Dave started this thread. Did they ship it on pontoon boat?

@DaveB,

you're really a master of marketing. This thread is currently the one I'm most interested in.
