good job I ordered the Trialmaster with the RAI

 

[Davman]

what is the Grenadiers' wading depth?

800mm or 800m?

 

[globalgregors]

mm.

Ah, I see. Don’t trust a philosopher with units of measure.

No problem, ahead full!

As soon as I hear that my car is on a ship I will start to worry!

 

[grenadierboy]

Has anyone been able to determine other ships on route to Australia from Zeebrugge (behind the Don Carlos) carrying Grenadiers?

Don Carlos left Zeebrugge on 26 February and IA said there would be a ship per fortnight to Australia.

There should be at least 2 more in transit carrying Grenadiers.

@grenadierboy "Don Carlos left Zeebrugge on 26 February and IA said there would be a ship per fortnight to Australia."
....or not..... While I certainly hope there will be a steady flow, I am 'resigned' to a "dribs and drabs" supply for the first 6m...

I don’t think it is exact as every two weeks, sometimes it is about 3 weeks, sometimes 1 week, but thats just Zeebrugge, we don’t know if they are also using Bremerhaven and Le Havre

Agree.

Back in Feb, Justin Hocevar told me that after the "92 grenadier ship", a car carrier would leave approximately every 2 weeks carrying Grenadiers to Australia

... closely followed by ships leaving approximately every 2 weeks carrying tow-balls, brake pipes, software...

IA have said lots of things- no comment
Most famously customers cars should start arriving October 2022

The Don Carlos has just sailed past the SW tip of Australia.

and a reminder … I’m still looking for a definitive answer as to whether or not we can check if our Grenadier is aboard using our VIN.

Try ringing the authorities and ask if there is any of the ice you ordered on board.

Due into Melbourne at 1600 on the 11th April so by the end of next week somebody might be very happy

I reckon it will be a fair few weeks after before anyone is driving one

Still a large quarantine inspection backlog of cars, especially sourced from Asia - likely the rest of April to get clearance, 2 weeks dealer handling -I would be thinking mid May for those lucky ones
