My Calibra is coming!!! - Update!

[049 Jennifer]

I'm so thrilled!! NZTA have granted me the exemption to import and register my car on the roads here!!! Yippee!!!!

[033 Ken]

Well done, when will it be here?

[049 Jennifer]

Thanks!! I have to send for the container now... takes about 6 to 8 weeks from when I send for it... I can't wait... but I have to send for it... so that I will be doing in the next couple of days... seeing as I have to pay nearly $10 000 to ship my stuff!!!

WOW thats great news, you'll be chuffed I'm sure.
I look forward to getting an Auckland meet together, (perhaps when the tornados give up ) so we can have a sqizz at the calibra.

[049 Jennifer]

Thanks Chad... yeah, a meet and greet will be great!! I am just waiting on one more document... the statement of compliance, which is being done as we speak! So I should hopefully still be able to call for my goods (including the calibra) this week or next!

Great news!!! We should organise an Opel Forum group photo shoot when the car arrives (and the weather improves).

[049 Jennifer]

Thanks Paul... and yes, it is great news!! Wont mind having a "new" photo shoot... haven't had any photos taken for over a year now! LOL...

Hi Jen, sorry we didn't get to meet up at GM Day Out, would have been good to meet you. Well done on getting it here. We have had a couple of people turned down over the years as they didn't meet the reg's etc... Let me know when it's here and we will have to get you signed up to VOS NZ? It would make a real eye catcher at some of the shows! Cheers, Mark... (Vauxhall Opel Sport NZ)

[049 Jennifer]

Thanks Mark, that will be great... Waiting for South Africa to issue the export permit... can't say how long they take?? My nerves!! LOL...

[049 Jennifer]

Just received the news that the export permit has been issued!! Now just to arrange final details and then my goods along with my car will be shipped!! Can't wait!!

[005 Mark]

Good news Jen! Well done. Look forward to seeing it when it gets here. Mark... (VOS NZ)

[049 Jennifer]

Thanks!!

[049 Jennifer]

[049 Jennifer]

Ok, so I have the ETA for my container and car... around 18 August... however, it might be a little later... will keep you all updated... Can't wait!!
