Who's on the Fidelio?

MadMan77 · 07-04-2008, 08:19 PM

Finally she is on the boat and on her way to Brunswick, GA.

I hope it is not an omen that I am on the same ship as the last car I ordered. I am in the military and had to go overseas. The dealer was kind of pissed but hey, what can I do?

Just glad the new "1" is coming.

I was hoping to get on the Fidelio, but I got left behind. Hoping for the Patriot on Monday. What production week were you? Also, I am from Warner Robins. Havent lived there in 16 years, but I grew up there.

MadMan77 · 07-05-2008, 02:00 PM

To tell you the truth, I don't know what production week I was in since I was in Japan when I ordered it.

That is cool about WR. It has grown A LOT since I first was stationed here 5 years ago, let alone your 16 years.

MadMan77 · 07-05-2008, 06:31 PM

My build date was 6/14. It seems that I just lucked out with getting on the ship.

acivick · 07-07-2008, 03:04 PM

Looks like I'm on her as well. Hoping to get mine on the week of the 20th after it goes through the prep center.

MadMan77 · 07-07-2008, 05:08 PM

Congrats. Must be nice not to be the last stop for the ship... lol

I'm on the Fidelio. Mine was a week 26 production. My car will be getting off at the port in Halifax and sent by train to a Toronto hub where it will then be sent to a prep senter, then dealrship. I'm hoping to take deilvery of the car by end of thrid week of July. Probably won't get it until last week of July though.

MadMan77 · 07-15-2008, 07:20 PM

Looks like your car just got off-loaded at the Halifax. I get to wait another week... lol

Yep, Finally! Although from what other Toronto 1 owners have said its still another 2 weeks from Halifax to Toronto! Things like Customs, train ride, prep, truck to the dealer, dealer to get paperwork yadda yadda....All barriers between me and my 1!!!

Congrats! I too was week26 and also offloaded from Fidelio today!!!

Just be lucky your train ride is only to Toronto... It's about the same distance from Halifax to TO as it is TO to Calgary, so I get an extra week+ of aggravation

:headbang:

gyrfalcon · 07-16-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm on the Fidelio as well. Also, ordered mine through Germany since I'm military. It's been a long wait since I was a week 19 production. Can't wait to pick it up in Brunswick in a week.

MadMan77 · 07-16-2008, 02:02 PM

Cool... I am in the military as well; Air Force. Just wish I could have purchased it through the military sales program. The $3800 savings would have been great but I am stationed in the states right now and cannot.

gyrfalcon · 07-17-2008, 10:39 AM

Same with Air Force also stationed stateside but I managed to pull an overseas TDY so I could use the military sales program. Are you picking up your 1 at the port or your dealer?

acivick · 07-17-2008, 05:16 PM

Looks like my car departed the ship at Port Jersey, according to the WW tracking page.

With any luck, I'll have it by this time next week, assuming it doesn't stay too long at the Prep Center.

I am getting it from the dealer. I was TDY to Kadena but could not get my car sold before I left. It was short notice since I had to cover for someone else.

gyrfalcon · 07-20-2008, 01:39 PM

Anyone know if tropical storm Christobal will affect the Fidelio's arrival in Brunswick?

I hadn't thought about that. The Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics tracking site still show it on time. The National Hurricane Center show Cristbal heading back out to sea by 8 AM Monday. It could slow her down and possibly be late a day.

I hope not...

gyrfalcon · 07-22-2008, 10:22 PM

It looks like we made it in on time

My car shows it was discharged at Brunswick. Hopefully I can pick it up this week. *crosses fingers*

MadMan77 · 07-23-2008, 01:16 PM

Yup, same here. I will be out of state for a week so I will probably be back just in time for it to make it to the dealer. Rock on!
