Ships, boats, schooners...all the same to me! Wink

I guess the dealer will keep me posted in true Japanese service style.

News from Japan

For Europe they use the Hull area not sure what they use for the rest of the world.

Somewhere in the North Sea.

Rest of the world cars are shipped out of Southampton

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: News from Japan

IIRC LR ships USA cars destined to eastern owners into Baltimore then they get distributed from there, not sure how your car will get from there to Ohio though possibly by rail.

Yes Baltimore I knew about from emailing with dealer waiting for them to get a 2014 for my test drive. Rail or truck are both possible I think. Thanks again!

RE: News from Japan

With delivery a few weeks away, it's time to plan the road trip. One of the few places I haven't visited in Japan is the island of Shikoku, and apparently going via the small islands interconnected by bridges is pretty cool. Should be a good mpg/lpk test!

The next question is which speed camera/radar detector to install. Mmmmm.

One that can be mounted in the gap where a smart reader for tolls can be mounted or one that can work through a heated front screen as it appears that some makes don't like heated front screens
