    Yeah, I'd be a little concerned about that; especially being on another Ferrari.

    They have just started building mine at the factory. I don't think I'll see it this year. Maybe feb. Doesn't really bother me anyway. When it's here, it's here.

    well it's been 2 weeks today and my car is still in a container and still sitting at sydney wharf. it has been caught up in the customs fiasco with their new system that has crashed and no imports are getting off the wharf at all or very slowly. hopefully 2 weeks tops but nobody knows for sure. hopefully i will have it for the porsche sprint on sat 26th nov . john will you come and have a look?

    LOL :D There really are some idiots working at QT.....
    "I" being too close to "1", so they wont issue.... what a wank.

    QT issued 8MW
    QT have issued quite a few prestige plates with 0 [zero] where you would expect to see O [O] and vice versa.

    QT issued 1OO
    I own numeral plate 100 .....how often do you think i receive crap in the mail - despite the fact it is on my bookshelf
    *Q rolls eyes*

    As for FI, I know the owner.
    Scud, you are a bigger threat to him...... ;)
    :p

    No joke Roger.

    Port Botany is absolutely overflowed with containers. So the hold up is for a good reason. Many people are not getting their shipping items on time. My father ordered a few parts for his Alfa, and they have been held up by customs for roughly 2 months now. Xray scanning all the parts is time consuming and expensive. When you consider how much stuff goes through there, it sucks.

    The good thing is, that they are keeping the hard drugs out of the country. I read somewhere in the SMH that customs pulls like 10-15 items off containers that are packed with drugs, a day. They are mainly in large cooking equipment and car parts from Korea and Thailand. Also they are kept in Beauticians from the Gold Coast, aparently.

    My company ordered some AV equipment, LCD Bar lights {Chromabanks} for some gigs, and ended up getting them airmailed here at insane expense, but we needed them quickly. Otherwise, it would of been a long long wait for them at Botany. Customs really need to streamline their scanning process.

    yeah, I was reading about the new computer system they put in the other day that was delaying everything due to some crashes causing database rebuilds.

    Stupid time to do this sort of upgrade to importing goods (xmas time) but it is the govt bureacrat making these great decisions and BS told to them by computer company sales people who only see the commission not the problems.

    I think you will be lucky if you can get the car before xmas at the clearance rate they quoted.
