How long after shipping did your VIN show?

SimonB - You might want to check your shipping details, unless you already have.

Oh, they are on their way!

Argh, I hate you AMJAM!

Will start a thread on this...

Oh, trust me, I know

I've been looking and tracking almost as much on the car as I have on my new MacBook Pro

I have had problems finding a tracking site using AIS that's up to date though! What site are you using? I'm going to go down to Augusta and wave to my bloody car as it sails past...

ab156 · 10-29-2013, 03:54 PM

Just using http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ - I just added Boheme to "My Fleet" and it appears ok so far. Sometime if I just try and search for it as a vessel it doesn't appear in the list but it always comes up when i tick the "My Fleet option".

Wasn't sure if your "Final Destination" was always Fremantle. Perhaps it was. I think they will ship it back to you otherwise WW wouldn't know / record this information.

SimonB · 10-29-2013, 05:33 PM

Thanks ab156. The dealer is still trying to find out what the story is, I know more than they do at the moment. Abysmal situation really. But, so be it - I'll get it eventually!

Have you received any updates recently, ab156? I bought the damned iPad app and there's been no update since the 28th of October.

I want to go down to Augusta and wave to it as it sails past! My friends have an elevated house nearby and a telescope and you can often see the car carriers sailing past

SimonB · 11-06-2013, 12:31 AM

Again, it appears that I know more than my poor dealer:

Vessel: ANIARA
Voyage: FF343-ARA
Port of Load: MELBOURNE
ETD: 16-11-2013
Port of Discharge: FREMANTLE
ETA: 21-11-2013

Maybe, just maybe, I will get it by the end of November.

Simon....

ab156 · 11-06-2013, 02:49 AM

hehehe, going to be hard to sell that as a "low milage" car, its been a few places before you even take ownership. You should have it for the last weekend in Nov. You sure you don't just want to cancel this one and get a MY15

Not getting updates on the ship anymore, out of range. My supplier did confirm dates today so it is still on track.

SimonB · 11-06-2013, 05:09 AM

Ha, don't even joke about it... I sent a screenshot off the WWL tracking site to my dealer and he sent me back a screenshot of their internal system, more detail but slightly different dates (by a day, I think). But, all good - all up

SimonB · 11-07-2013, 08:11 PM

Argh! I'm delaying myself now... My delivery is scheduled for the 1st week of Dec now. Guess what? I'm on site for the last week of Nov and the first week of Dec and there's no way I can change it!

So, 7th of Dec it appears that it is, the day after I fly back. Means I'll have to be organising and signing the finance remotely though, but that may be a good thing.

SimonB, I'm not entirely sure if I'm comfortable having your car next to mine onboard the Boheme - you appear slightly cursed - I'm expecting a message that the Boheme has sunk any day now.

Yes, sorry about that, but don't even joke, please!!

too funny

ab156 · 11-11-2013, 06:44 AM

Boheme is back in range, coming up to Port Fairy. May go for a walk tomorrow night and give her a wave....

Argh, stop teasing me, or I'll set off those limpet mines!

Kagawa26 · 11-12-2013, 06:07 PM

apparently it has docked and my car has been unloaded. waiting for delivery in the next couple of weeks!

Yeah, boat was in early yesterday... didn't get to tease SimonB with a pic as I was busy playing golf.....

Think you will be the first to get your car. Mine is locked in for the 28th.

SimonB · 11-12-2013, 07:34 PM

Yes, I was watching on webcam, so no teasing required. Apparently there are a whole bunch of Mercedes A45 AMG's on Boheme too, a mate was telling me that's bought one. The webcam was going off, with people moving it, zooming it etc, I didn't have time to wait for them to stop exciting themselves so that I could get a good look.

SimonB · 11-13-2013, 07:46 PM

"discharged Melbourne 13-11-2013 05:39:56"

SimonB · 11-21-2013, 08:18 PM

So, finally, nearly 6 months after placing the order at the dealers, a 7 week wait after Production (02/10), my baby has finally been offloaded at Fremantle:

DISCHARGED FREMANTLE 21-11-2013 21:10:06

So, now we just have to wait for customs (unless it was processed in Melbourne, but I doubt it) and then dealer prep before a scheduled collection on Sat the 7th of Dec.
