It turns out there were financial issues getting the cars to NZ. You have to wonder why the freight from Malaysia was "horendous", as surely freight logistics should be worked out well in advance and not planned round to round.

Hopefully these issues will soon be resolved however, with the news that potential investors should be announced soon. I guess the idea that there are only a few weeks to get through might explain why Giltrap and others might have pitched in, better to fork out a bit more now to keep the current serious going than lose everything...
