Down load fleetmon or my shipping tracker both are free apps, you can see where the ship is, just looked and it does say its 12days to Suez Canal
Wooo its on its way! Following test drive on Sunday I can't wait to get my hands on it! Having owned a GT86 and doing the typical catless header and re-map to eliminate the torque dip, this car felt perfect as it is, definitely doesn't feel like it needs any more for UK roads, maybe just a nice exhaust for my inner bay racer!
The date also ties up with my ETA from Toyota, I was told end of Septembet so assuming 4-6weeks from arrival in the UK that seems to tie up!
So excited, my first ever brand new car too!

Mine is on Durban Highway in the Suez canal.
I've made a tracker on my wall map.
Is this sad?
P.s. it's not red, but silver, but Evo only had a red one to cut out.

I just hope, when 'defiling' your (I hope it's yours or WHSmith's might have something to say about it) copy of EVO that you were very careful to avoid certain very important and particularly valuable sections of that respected motoring publication.
Specifically, by way of a total random example, the letter of the month from the February 2023 issue...

I hope no-one is expecting a car on the 'Fremantle Highway' as it's currently on 
fire in the North Sea, with 3,000 cars on board . . .

I have been told that mine is on the Morning Clara, which has just left Singapore and is also due in the Suez Canal 8th August. The worrying thing though is that there is no mention of this ship on the forward movement to Bristol docks which was posted above
Hmmm, not sure to be concerned now or not

Hopefully it’s full of EV’s.

Apparently it may be an electric car to blame for the fire.
bbc news: A Dutch coastguard spokesman said the fire was probably caused by one of 25 electric vehicles on board the ship.

Looks like a crew member died and a number of people were injured due to the Freemantle Highway fire.
Puts things into perspective.

according to BBC, Freemantle Highway was heading to Egypt. So...probably not carrying cars for Britain

Got confirmation it's on its way to the dealer tomorrow. Got an email to send all the pics for part ex and then sort the monies. Probably going to take another 2 weeks yet I reckon with how slow they are but it would be good if it's sorted for next Friday.
