    Maybe someone else can set something like that up. It's certainly a good idea I'm unfortunately too busy to really do it for anything but amusement. It was a fun way of passing the time.

    I picked up the car today and it's pretty nice. A bit disappointed that everything in the MY10 appears exactly like the MY09 - but that wasn't too unexpected

    The BIG disappointment is the manuals!! They absolutely suck. For one thing the number of options not available here are very sobering. Side/lane assist amongst many others. The other thing is that with the R36 seemingly the flagship model; it's not clear what is and isn't included!

    I read one thing highly excited and then realise it's not in the R36. The biggest disappointment in this department was the KESSY - keyless entry system!

    But it's all about the car... and I must say everything went smoothly with the delivery. They were tight with any extra goodies, even a hint about an umbrella wasn't enough to score me one. I wasn't in the mood to scrounge for one as it can't be more than a few tens of dollars.

    The colour choice was good. They had a silver there too, and it looked ordinary in comparison. The white brings out the silver and chrome highlights more; and contrasts nicely with dark tinted windows. The best colour I have seen is the black though... the speckled grey and blue flecks in the metallic paint are pretty awesome; but I've had my one black car. Pity I didn't wait till the R36 to waste my opportunity at black - but in any case the white is pretty nice too.

    I couldn't help launching it mildly at the lights. It left everyone far far behind in a hurry. A real buzz.

    One thing I have really appreciatied that I don't remember on the test drive is the DIGITAL SPEEDO readout in the MFD. I have set that as the default display as it's nice to see the exact speed.

    Pretty tired, and I didn't get any photos!! So I'll get some tomorrow or on the weekend and start a new thread if that's acceptable.

    Did you order white too?

    I think you'll be real happy with it. The contrasts are very nice. Against the low profile tyres, the tint... the blue calipers etc.

    congratulations! yes the manuals are pretty ordinary. re the colour, i have had the V6 highline for a couple of weeks now and the black, well lets just say its the last black car i will own. The pearl black is awesome when clean, but average when now. enjoy the car and look forward to seeing some photos.

    Can anyone tell me the time from landing in port to dealer delivery?

    My Skoda Yeti should arrive in Port Kembla on 23 December. I'll add a bit for the Christmas break but I'm just getting an idea.

    Happy Days.

    i bought a new Jetta last week : on my contract it says estimate delivery date : 17/7/15 but under car details there is no VIN number or any other specific details, does the mean it gets into the country on the 17th or Dealer ?

    Hi all,

    Is anyone aware if the WWL tracking system still works with the VIN? I've got the ETA data from my friendly dealer, which indicates that the car should have arrived at the port of shipment a couple of days ago, however using the search feature described on this thread doesn't seem to provide any results.

    Has anyone had any luck in the last few months using the VIN in the Cargo ID field here?

    TIA
