Thanks, that's a much more accessible and easier terminal location than the accessing battery under the cover.

So that would be a maximum of 48 cars per day = 240 per 5 day week, working at an unlikely constant 6 per hour over the week, although Its unlikely they could or would maintain that pace.

You definitely can't make this stuff up! Tortugas, on it's way to Pt Kembla from Brisbane, actually did a U-turn off Sydney North Head and sailed back to Pt. Newcastle - where it sat off Newcastle for nearly two weeks before finally docking, yet failed to unload the cars - taking them past Pt...

Mine is a NSW (Syd Dealer) car, was on the torturous Tortugas, and offloaded in Melb'. My Dealer emailed me with an update last Monday (as below), stating there are 940 cars still in Quarantine! "just chased up Ford again this morning and it seems like they are still going through the...

We should also expect to see 888 running a GT3 Mustang(s?) at the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hr, and GT4s?

I wonder how many other 888 tied GM Teams will now jump ship to Ford? HaHa

No good getting screwed - especially financially. Fair or unfair, your Postcode and Age are important Factors in determining Insurance Premiums. I probably should have also mentioned - the car is in Secure Parking, and used for private purposes only (not to or for work), I am the only Driver...

No it is not April 1 - They have finally woken up to themselves, and re-embraced Ford! 888 to replace DJR as Homologation Team for next year (2026) and beyond. Supercars news: Triple Eight makes shock Ford defection for 2026 - Speedcafe.com Ford Steals Triple Eight from GM - Auto Action...

You could be correct, although I think it is from either the Aust' Compliance date - or First Rego. In addition, the Agreed Val is effective form the date of your Insurance Contract.

NRMA seem to offer the best deal in my case - Agreed value of $91K, <5000Ks p/a, $1,000 Excess, No Peak Hr Driving, No Finance on Vehicle. New Car Replacement up to THREE Years. Options: No Excess on Glass & Fault or No Fault Hire Car until Repaired. $1,300.56 p/a or $108.38 p/m

Correction - Although Tortugas unloaded at Pt Melbourne instead of Pt Kembla, Parcifal has reportedly docked at Pt Kembla.

Good luck - although the situation seems to have improved, you may need it !

Hurray !!! At least you car is in NSW, and avoided imprisonment in the Peoples Republic of Victoria. Keys in your hand soon now!

Hi Alwrighty, yes it turned out the earlier Dealer info from Ford was in error, and was later changed to yet another diversion, this time to Melbourne (for the second time). Did Tortugas arrive in Melb circa 18-20 th Jan ? I haven't heard from my Dealer since last Friday, so presumably they...

I just received a similar notice from my dealer. So it is the NSW cars off the Tortugas and Tosca that were diverted to Melb from Newcastle after being diverted from Pt Kembla, and now held there (Melb) in quarantine - with no release date.. Apparently they will eventually be transported back...

Was this the Mustangs for NSW, that were diverted from Pt Kembla to Pt Newcastle which were apparently rescheduled to be unloaded there from Sat 11Jan - Tues 14Jan?

100% spot on !! We need to put an end to the authoritarian Green Nazi domination of our lives!

AArrrr ! You are correct - thanks for the correction. I read this incorrectly as the last drop from Tortugas ("I was at the warf today") which would have been Newcastle. However I see he is at Brisbane. Sorry about that !!

They were due to unload from Tortugas last weekend, and Binchicken posted a photo (below) of unloaded mustangs sitting on the warf at Newcastle on another thread a couple of days ago. Unfortunately I still have no idea if they have cleared Customs - does anyone else on here know? EDIT: SORRY...
