Ok, seems like its not booked on the boat. I'll keep trying, regarding vin No.s, are all the zeros actually zeros or is there letters of "O" in there aswell? This is part of my vin No. WP0ZZZ****K19****, is it WP and the letter O or the number zero 0?

They are all the numeral zero.

Keep on trying it. Mine came out of production in the week ending 15/4, but was booked on 11/4. It then arrived at the boat on the 18/4, the same day it sailed.

James part of the reason it is not coming up is that your vin should be 17 digits long, the number you've quoted is 15.

Yes I left out the last 2 on here but did enter it, thanks.
I was late to the party as I scored someone else's configurable order in late March, so I'm guessing they're getting out all the older orders out 1st. I've been told it could be waiting for up to 3 or 4 weeks to get on the boat.

I would be surprised if it took that long to get on a boat.

Thanks for this, just checked mine as it was built 3rd of May.

Loaded onto boat on 16/05 and ETA @ Port Kembla is 27th June. So looking like an end of July delivery.

Ok, so I have 6 weeks plus waiting time to board the ship, so maybe 8 weeks for me, pass the popcorn please.........
So yours is nearly here, you must be pretty excited to say the least.

Yes, docks in Melbourne on Monday, but I can see it being another three weeks or so before I can collect it here in Tasmania.

Unfortunately it isn't a GT4 though, see my posts earlier in this thread. Still looking forward to it though.

Also the only port web cam I could find on the whole route is at Fremantle, so you can see the boat in realtime if you are keen.

Looks like you ordered the GTS, a friend has one and he's absolutely wrapped in it.

Yes it does seem that way doesn't it. As of late last week there's a new allocation at PCM as well if anyone is interested.

I still would have liked a GT4, just got the timing wrong. With cars still available, it stings, but I hope the GTS will be 70% of a 4 in the spec I have ordered.

Well done on the RS, I had a ride in one a fortnight ago and they are fantastic.
