If you want to track your cars journey, log onto this site & put in the Container Ships name.
Should be on the Clearence Docs.
From the Container Company MSC it may go various ways to OZ it may go via Dubai or Cape Town so ship will change but you should still be able find out from your Shipping Agent the next ship from Dubai to Singapore or straight to OZ.

Pirates are off Somalia & usually go for Mercs or Toyota Pick Ups for mounting machine guns !

Hi
Glad i got to see your car at Malvern, didnt realise it would be last time !!
Good luck in Oz, two lads I know will there within 6 months ( both like me BMW techs and walked straight into jobs no problem, in Perth ) and another two going for citerzenships, it's getting like ' the last one to leave the UK turn the light's off '
Cheers John

<font face="Impact"><font size="1">What part of Oz are you & the spider heading for.
</font id="size1"></font id="Impact">were heading to adelaide. with a hoilday rental for the first few weeks.. only down the road from the rover triumph guys with the nice yellow FHC rally car,and the other half booked it!!
if you google map them you can see tr7's in the yard behind the workshop.
<font face="Impact"><font size="1">If you want to track your cars journey
yeah </font id="size1"> </font id="Impact"> we have been tracking the ship coming to pick her up from when she left the suez! shes currently in the bay of biscay.
i dont know if you take the boot lid off you could put a machine gun on the roll bar!! and with its 4.6 motor it should be quick just need a bit more ground clearance?
<font face="Impact"><font size="1">Good luck in Oz</font id="size1"></font id="Impact">
thanks

Yah, you don't want to leave it behind.
My niece and her husband left Australia a few years ago, she had been there 8 years, he since he was 14. They lived in Canberra, she had her university degrees and worked at the university library and he worked for the government on their websites. They realized they would never be able to afford a house there so moved (back) to Canada to Edmonton where she got a job in a library and he works at Costco. They bought a house in a couple of years. Some move in, some move out.

Haven't heard from you on line for a while Monica. Been meaning to ask you, how's it coming with the second TR7 you got.

<font color="purple"><font face="Comic Sans MS">[:I][xx(][:I] Oh, Merv....I'm a deadbeat owner with good intentions. I must get going on getting Beastie sorted. He's too good to not be up and running; he just needs some love and time spent on him. Both will be coming his way SOON. [:)] Luckily, Beastie is quite patient and waits without complaining--lessons I wish DH would learn. [:o)] Heehee. Will I be seeing you and your lovely Spider at Triumphest 2013? I may be going to the ATDI event in Canada. Huggz!
