400 cars on boat lost

[chopobo]

did u just watch the late news?

a boat off the coast of japan blew up along the coast along with 400 cars on board

i hope they aren't performance imports

[Guest LoudBlueBMW]

Hopefully it was a boat full of auto 4-cylinder Toyota Camry's.....

Q: What do you call a boat load of auto 4-cylinder Toyota Camry's at he bottom of Tokyo Harbour?

A: A good start!!!

[XrSiSt]

/Eric starts to think about the people who have waited months

and months for their import only to now find out that its on

bottom of the sea...

I'm not saying there were imports on that boat.. i just feel

sorry for the people if they were.

chopobo,

I believe the ship is actually containing 4000 cars worth AU$160M.

I saw it on the news this morning in my waking up mode so don't quote me on this one.

The ship has also caught fire and they can't put it out coz they can't get to the ship.

[Tosh]

I hope it wasn't carrying anyone's new pride'n'joy..........

[2rismo]

Has anyone got a link to this?!?!?!?! FAARRKKK!!!

[Leewah]

Japanese ship sinking

[chopobo]

yeah sorry

i only caught a glimpse of it last night thought sandra sully said 400

might be 4000

but man if i had a car coming on that boat i would be pissed off:mad:

i guess its one of the risks that happens with importing even though this stuff dun happen very often

[gtrken]

It says it was on it's way to Jamaica so prolly IS full of camry's . Thank god, I s***t meself for a minute there !

[cereal]

There's actually a decent amount of Jap sports cars in Jamaica.....Because there's so many rich americans with houses there & they can get skylines that are alot harder to import into the US so they keep them in Jamaica.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were at least 1 or 2 skylines aboard that ship.

[chopobo]

would they have some sort of insurance to cover this?

Of course. Including in shipping bill.

Which is probably underwritten by Lloyds of London.

As long as its not mine I am happy

[Endorean]

I heard about that too.

My car is on a ship coming over from Japan, I hope mine didn't sink....

The guy getting the car hasn't got back to me lately so maybe he doesn't want to speak to me.

Fingers crossed mine is on another ship.

[DREMEN]

Endorean - when does your ship get in?

Mine gets in on Monday...

Who did you import yours through?

What you getting?

[Guest DJW]

Hope everyone gets their car safely!
