I believe they dock at night in Bristol due to the tide.
Cheers 👍🏻

Just got a “Left the factory” notification which I’m told means 24 hours ago it boarded a ship. Any ideas how to find out and track which one it might be? Placed an order on 18th September so this is pretty fast work!

Email Toyota online and ask for tracking information. Then use a website like marine traffic to follow ship route.
 
I reckon that given my car's ETA of 14 November, that it's probably on the 'Durban Highway' which left Japan on the 18th September, transits Suez 7th Oct and is due in Bristol on 19th October. That'll give it a couple of weeks for the PDI etc., before being transported North. All speculation btw as I have had no confirmation(s) from TOL as to where my car is.
My app still hasn't updated so I gave them a call. It appears she's on the Durban, and due at the dealer at the beginning of November.
 
You and me both @Triggaaar .. at the moment I’ll be the custodian of the GR “for a year then we’ll get a proper car”

I didn't know she'd given you a time limit :(



I hope I don’t regret the purchase

If you can only have it a year, just make sure to enjoy it while you can. I doubt you'll lose too much on it.

I see yours is past Spain and into the Bay of Biscay 😁

I hate the Bay of Biscay.. we’ve done it a few times on cruises and only once has it been flat calm…

Regarding the year of ownership.. I have the twelve months to persuade SWMBO that I should keep the car.. maybe I’ll convince her that we need another small car for her..
