I am hoping for the courage.. it leaves a day later but ports a day earlier...less stops i guess.

Nice1 · 04-08-2008, 07:48 PM

the WW site notes that the Courage is not accepting commercial bookings. if that means all commercial bookings including bmw, at least there's another one leaving in 2 days. seems like there are on average about 2+ boats a week from bremerhaven. ahh the perks of living in the east coast.

Damn. The Tagus has been delayed by a day. It's now scheduled to leave tomorrow.

Red135 · 04-09-2008, 12:51 PM

I received my car today!

It was delivered by FedEx and it is only 1/18 the size, but at this point I will take what I can get.

Oooh! One of those nifty little high-detail ones I saw at the dealership? Did you order from them or elsewhere? They didn't have any 1s in the case, so I didn't inquire further, but I'm kinda tempted.

Nice1 · 04-09-2008, 03:31 PM

Okay, I'm really missing something on the site.
http://accessories.bmwusa.com

Only seems to show me things I can actually install in or on the car. Where's the link for "models"? or "minicars"?

Oh, wait, I found it.

Kyosho makes 1:18 1-series convertibles. Minichamps makes 1:43 models.

Better pics of the 1:18 Kyosho can be found on ebay. They look great.

Red135 · 04-09-2008, 05:43 PM

I really want to find out which cars will make it on the 4/11 ships.

If you finished production today, you aren't going to make it.
Week 14 finished production last week.

Nice1 · 04-09-2008, 07:05 PM

there's still a chance, the grus postponed to the 12th. now to figure out which of those two ships will be carrying bimmers.

there are a couple of 'verts in the 'bay.

Good news to West Coast week 14ers whose vehicles are cutting it close to making it on the Isolde or Grus- new ships have been added and are leaving according to the following sked. Translation: the next ship is leaving sooner than the two weeks originally planned.
I sincerely hope the added boats are unnecessary for us and that all 14ers (and Week 15-16?) leave Bremerhaven over the weekend.

I think it only says that on the day of departure? Currently 'boheme' is flagged as not taking commercial bookings, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't flagged yesterday.

Anyhoo... It looks like I'm still at the port.

the courage too was tagged as not taking commercial bookings. it probably applies to partial or less than full load bookings and reserved for the car companies.

To all of you week 14er's who are on the Isolde (mine is), she is in the Panama Canal now. There is a great discussion happening on the E90post forum tracking the ship. You can see Isolde passing through on the live cam right now: http://www.pancanal.com/eng/photo/ca...html?cam=Gatun
