Default My car has been "at port" for five days... patience...must have patience...

Already got the A4 Rubber mats in from Clair... Carbox liner is on the way... found my phone-line crimping tool for the V1 install... winter wheels standing by... C'MON already!! I'm hoping Monday or Tuesday, it sometimes takes a week & a half to get between port & the dealership here... That's feeling like a loooong time right now.

Coming: 2003 black/black 1.8T Avant QMS Prem Xen!!

My A4 was stuck at the port for 2 weeks. Bleh. Had to drive a big mushy A6 the whole time.

Default I think so

And the ship too! dont want that thing spilling its guts into the sea.

Besides, the English channel is so shallow the ship literally reaches the top whilst its on its side when its low tide... its a hazard just sitting there.

I dont know whether theyll try salvaging any parts from those cars though... lol, I just cant think what theyd salvage.. maybe the engine blocks? remanufacture them? hmm... sell them off real cheap.

Default Thats what I thought, then I thought about all that salt water...hmm.

And this reminds me, what happened to that Allroad found in the ruins of the twin towers?
I thought that was amazing, amongst all that destruction they pulled that out.
Could have imagined with stocks of food in there... well anyway.
