damn. lucky. quite jealous.
32km's does raise a question mark but like you said. You got the car now.
Be sure to take a before and after pic for the Opti-Coat job.

Not really... They drive the cars from the port to kewdale holding yard then onto the dealerships from there.... Expect to have atleast 25km minimum on the dash before u take delivery...

oh really? i thought they'd be delivered by truck from the port to Kewdale then trucked again to dealer unless the dealer was closeby. Guess not.
Drove a Black Manual GTS in Wangara and only had 20km's on it.

Driven to kewdale, then trucked if the dealership is more than 10km away.

You would expect so wouldn't ya. Multiple cars off the same boat all being individually driven to Kewdale?

Can we just get our cars from the port? Haha.

It's all about money, and time (because time is money - apparently...

)

It's quicker (and cheaper) for them to get a bunch of employees and take a fleet of say 10 or more cars, put $10 of fuel in the cars (probs less) and drive back instead of having to pay a truck driver to make a couple of trips...

I mean who wouldn't want this guy in your car :P

Don't worry too much the day your car got put on a boat it would have been thrashed. when you car is taken off a boat it would of been thrashed as well.

Happens to all unless its a supercar. I saw it with my own eye one night while fishing on the harbour.

They had to get the cars off the boat and they were not driving slow put it that way.

FT-86GOD · 06-25-2012, 11:08 AM

Thats why we make sure they keep the plastic seat protectors on lol.. I wish we could pick up from the port!!!!!

Tell us what u seen CATCHA???

sirus · 06-25-2012, 04:48 PM

As far as I know the car was trucked to New Town. Apparently on the 6am run..?

As for swirls etc etc I checked the car out under lihts in their showroom because it was parked by reception. I asked that they only washed the car and NOT polish it (it makes it easier for Mark to apply the Opti-coat because he doesn't have to remove the dealers polish etc)
So far haven't noticed any belmishes, just an ultra small bit of gooey stuff that I picked off. Oh and the New Town sticker on the back. That had to go.

This was back in the old days 6 years ago fishing on a harbour, where ships dock in, they were unloading cars toyota hilux and hyundai excels, they were flying off the boat to get them off it.

If you were a working at a ship dock and you had deadlines to meet X amount of time to get the cars off you would be strapping them to get them off and doing
