Roll call- Who is on the Toronto??
I just found out that my car has already been picked up and is currently visiting Southampton right now. It is scheduled to arrive in NYC 11/24. Who else is on board?

My car's on board the Toronto too! I dropped it off after my ED on Oct 31.
I've been tracking the ship online via this link. Just click on the "Latitude/Longitude" link to see the ship's tack and location on the map. The system stops tracking the ship when it enters the Atlantic ocean though, so we may only have tracking info for the next few days before it goes out of range. Last I checked, the shipping company said that the Toronto is expected to arrive in Newark on 11/21/2011. Where in the U.S. is your car being delivered to once it arrives? |

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be confusing. I last checked the status of my car with BLG Auto Transport (the shipping company I dropped off my car at after ED) on November 2. At that time, they told me that the MS Toronto was scheduled to arrive in Newark, NJ around November 21. Maybe the schedule has changed since then? I haven't heard back from BLG yet about the latest itinerary, so your information may be more current/accurate.

I'm on board. Just got the email from my CA today. Supposed to be offloaded in NY and then it has to make it about 3-3.5 hours to my dealer in southern Delaware. We'll see how long that takes. I wasn't expecting it to arrive until mid to late December so maybe I'll get lucky.

Also aboard the Toronto! Should be at Brunswick on the 27th, last time I checked.
While she's in close to shore, she can be tracked at vesseltracker.com, though you do have to register (free) to track. Her callsign is MKKE3. I had planned on doing the ED/PCD redelivery combo, but it sounds like PCD could add a month or more to my wait, so I'm mulling just picking it up at my dealer in Charlotte asap & driving it back to DFW. Decisions, decisions. |

Yeah, I'm on there too. Mine was an ED car that I dropped off in Munich on Oct 27. I'm really hoping that I can pick my car PCD before Christmas. Probably not likely, but I can hope!

i have a feeling i'm on it. My CA doesn't know, and on the WW site my car isn't listed (correct me if i'm wrong but as of this morning i don't see any 1Ms listed as cargo for the toronto, must not be updated yet.)
yesterday the BMW Canada 1-800# said it is on a ship and has left bremerhaven considering they're info is usually a few days behind, i should be on the Toronto |

FYI - for those who don't obsessively track the MS Toronto's status each day - it looks like the ship successfully crossed the Atlantic and is in North America! It was moored in Halifax at the time of this post.
