Yep, it's gonna be hard this last bit of the waiting Barney..... but i've already taken delivery of the Evoque rubber car matts and bootliner from Duckworth's in the UK,and my Euro number plates are ready to go aswell.

The Grand Mercury coming into the harbour this afternoon. It may not be the prettiest vehicle carrying vessel i've seen (although i do like the colours), but it does the job. Hey Evoque U, this is the ship our cars are on, but this is my stop hull buddy,and we had a great trip,but on you go to Melbourne,stay safe,and ENJOY!!!

Haha!

Benzina how long were you in Fremantle stalking your ship?

Did you manage to get a glimpse of your car? I believe it would be in the process of being discharged at the moment?

Saw on marine traffic that its docked on the opposite side to mine - can you still get a glimpse of the cars?

About 1 hour, i left when it was tieing up about 4.30pm,as i started to think about dinner, but i'll return tomorrow. Yes, it's on the opposite side of the harbour,but i think if they park the cars where i think they're going to park them,then i might get a decent view hopefully.

Well. I just passed by... Your car looks fabulous!! Its the first car in line right next to an white discovery 4 and some sort of commercial van.

About 90% confident it's yours cause it's a dynamic, has a black roof, indus and has the shadow chrome wheels.

I have a picture but it's dark so the quality is quite crap so not going to put it up. Would rather you saw it properly rather than a picture that looks partly like your car haha!

On another note I saw Q3s being offloaded. For those who don't want their wives to touch their evoque and want to give them something extremely boring... The Audi Q3 has arrived

Yeah possible borderline obsession... Borderline being the key word here.

Hey Benzina, we had a great time travelling together, now we must part to either side of the country. Great photos of the ship, looking forward to seeing your pics.

Chiggy, you are our Australian Evoque forum Ambassador

I think we need to replace the word "possible" with "definitely" and delete borderline Laughing

Haha! It's exciting times seeing new evoques arriving and on the road.

RE: Shipping time & tracking of ship - benzina - 16-02-2012 02:07am

Your right Chiggy,although i had'nt read your post till now. Anyway i went down there early this morning about 8am after a nice coffee.....There were lines of cars,as i was looking from the rear side first,with some Evoques there,but no sight of mine.
Then in the distance i saw one solitary Evoque right up the front of the lines,but with no cars behind it (bizzar,as this was the only line without cars),Even from a distance,i could see details that told me it was mine, so i went around the other side,and my suspicion was correct...there was my CAR, right there!!! !!although it's just the nose,it looked FANTASTIC!!!

Yes we probably are NUTS, but like ZORBA once said....."A man needs a little Madness, otherwise, he never dares cut the rope and be free."
Here's the pics......

This is where i first spotted it. Look right towards the end of the empty line (I got my binoculars out to help confirm)......
