The problem is dealers are telling customers bullshit and they're getting annoyed!

In any case, apparently my car is on the TRANS FUTURE 5

OK Dave, if you don't know how to 'track' the ship - here is the link:
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/def...date=lastknown

Save that to your favourites and follow .. it will say at times 'out of range' but it WILL come back! The attached was 3 days ago and the ship is headed to Guam before coming south, 'The Demons' ship did the same I think, GM can confirm that one!

Gettin' close now!!:happy0180:

You're correct, mine stopped off in Guam while North Korea had missiles aiming at it!

Don't worry, It will come quick Dave! :happy0180:

I've done 400km in 4 days of driving. (April 24th, 25th, 27th, 28th).

However, it should slow down a lot considering I won't be driving it much on weekdays now.

Ive had mine 11 weeks tomorrow and it's got 1,758 on it, 600 in first 3 days so 1,150 maybe in 11 weeks!! It's NOT a 'daily' I use one of the MX5's for that so just a weekender but until 2 weeks ago we had just on 44 inches of rain and I'm NOT heading out in it with the idiot drivers that abound in my area!!

BTW, when 'The Demons' ship left Guam the Captain stood on the gas to escape possible missiles!! Once it gets away from there it's a quick trip down

Remember while there could be 1500-2000 cars or more on the ship they are of all makes, my ship also had at least Suzuki Swifts on board, they trip around Japan loading different makes at different ports

Did my first 1,600k's in the first week! (The moment I had a confirmed delivery date I booked the following weeks leave ).

Had my baby 2.5 months, and just about to hit 6,000k's. On weekends I'll drive 2 hours to have coffee with my parents then return. It's not so much that I like the coffee, or the parents for that matter, just a chance to drive!

Something like Trans Future 7 can hold up to 6,393 cars!

Yeah used the site before for another car. Though that one took like 2 months from Europe. Info overload causes more grief I think sometimes. Going back 10yrs, ordered car, dealer said 2mths, got a call, picked it up without knowing anything inbetween hehe.

Trust me, if we had the time (and nice weather) both 'Zero' and myself would have more than double the km we have now!

WHO WANTS AN 86 GTS AERO??

I know where the are TWO GTS Aero's, one 2012 demo colour red with around 1,350km and the other white and BRAND NEW!!

Both are for sale immediate, first in first served - will post pics ASAP but you can ring Jason at Wide Bay Toyota, Hervey Bay on 07 4125 9536 or Mobile 0408 407 481 or email him at: jason.platz@wbmg.com.au

This post is to assist those who have endured the long wait and still have NO satisfaction ring Jason and if you get in first, ring your current Dealer and tell him 'Get a Dog!!'

I'm having trouble attaching the pics so PM me with email and I will send

Thanks 'Demons' they look fine!!

The red one sat in their showroom from around last November and NO ONE was allowed to drive it!

I was offered it but at that time [late October] it was not avaialble until now and I had managed to score my GTS thru another Dealer

Jason is a great guy who understands the frustrations many have endured in the LONG wait!!

Thanks again for uploading them mate
