Not sure if I'm 21 or 20 as my car finished monday and is currently at the port. The real question is where do the Northern Jersey cars get shipped to, NYC? I'm trying to check the east coast shippers schedule but I don't know what port they use in the US.

I called and got the message stating that I'm at the port awaiting a shipping vessel, so I guess we're at the same stage. Maybe our 1's will have an addict party.

My production was finished on the 14th and it still says "Your vehicle production is complete and is waiting to be released to the carrier" This weekend I was at the dealer and the car was 155 status.

There goes any hopes of the PCD date I was looking for...

Looks like I'll be the first Week 20 person to see their car. I've only got 6 more days until I pick her up at the Welt.Then the super long wait for it to get back to the USA

That's why I don't think I can handle doing an ED. Sure it would be cool to save some money and get to drive around Europe for a bit, but the 3 month wait for ED then another 4-6 weeks for the car to get back to states would kill me. I'd rather just go to Europe and rent a BMW to drive around.

Mine was completed on 4/17 and didn't get put onto a ship until 5/4, so you can wait up to 3 weeks for a boat.

Arrow Finally Booked

Not sure if i'm supposed to be in here since my dealer in Bahrain gave me a rather odd production number but I just found out I've been booked for the Indepence II and was curious who else was tagging along with me to the east coast?:drinking:

production complete: 5/10/08
Enroute: 5/26/08

A 2 or longer week wait at the docks seems to be the norm.

We're on the boat! The 800 number now indicates "in transit". It looks like I'm either on the Integrity or Elektra headed for New York.

Timeline:
Ordered: March 28
Production #: late April
Production complete: May 12
Waiting for boat: May 19
On ship, departed: May 22

Should be at dealer by mid-June.
