Welcome, sweet. Wow that's a long time? Did you use MacArthur Ford? And I hope your not on my boat because I doubt you will get it on the 19th, you might be on the one due to dock anytime now. My ship is supposed to dock on the 11th but currently it's docked at Belgium next stop UK, so I can't see it docking in Sydney on the 11th.

I didn't go to MacArthur I went to Harrigans in Wollongong. I found out today that my ship is actually due on the 15th August so I won't get mine till the end of August. I'm so pissed off! I'm left without a vehicle now for 2 months.

If you don't mind me asking, how are you tracking these ships?

I sold my car too so I'm stuck, although my dealer did offer me a vehicle until the FiST arrives. I brought mine at Harrigan Ford on the South Coast. Ford told me the ship the car is booked on and I track it via marinetraffic.com. But the dates Ford gave me didn't add up so I did some investigative work myself through the shipping company and found out the ship is due in Sydney on the 15th August not July. So that means I won't get the car until end of August, so I will probably hit the dealer up for a vehicle because I can't go that long without one.

Type in marine traffic into google then if you know what your ships name is you type it in and you can see where it is. Sorry to here both you guys getting stuffed around.

Yours is on the same boat as mine, Figaro. According to the shipping company it's due to dock at Port Kembla on the 15th August. When I spoke to my dealer he was surprised I knew more than Ford, gotta love the internet. If I believed Ford I'd be up shit creek completely. I don't mind waiting, I hate to be stuffed around.
