"Gracie" has "landed"!
Big day today. "Gracie", Wifey's new "90" landed in Melbourne aboard the "MV Tiger" today.
She's now gotta go through customs/holding procedure before being transported to the dealer, for all of Wifey's "options" to be fitted.
So, it'll probably be another 10 days or so before we see her, but after ordering on 5th June, the long wait is almost over.
Wifey is VERY excited!
Cheers, Pickles.

How the heck did you guys get an import permit for this?

The only way we can get new defenders into Queensland is through the 2 year temporary import scheme, after that they got to be exported or destroyed. ****CENSORED****
