Week 16 Support

This wait for a shipping vessel crap is similar to ancient Chinese water torture...

I hope we all get on either the "Fellatio" or the Patriot!! Fingers and toes crossed!

Not sure you got the spelling of the first vessel correct:wink:

Dan203 · 04-24-2008, 12:51 PM

I too am now at the port waiting on a shipping vessel. Now I just need to hope I make the boat leaving tomorrow for the West coast. <fingers crossed>

Cool! A week 16er on a boat means that my chances of making the one leaving tomorrow are that much better. :thumbup:

Dan

coco_m3 · 04-24-2008, 01:47 PM

i just got an email from my sa!
IM ON THE Pacific Breeze!!!!!
Dan call your SA!
the Pacific Breeze is going to be at the US port on 5/17/08!
and he said i should see it in a week or two after that!!
im so excited!

jeremyc74 · 04-24-2008, 02:09 PM

You guys were finished production just a couple of days before I was, so I'm hopeful that this next boat to the East coast will have my car on it. Great news. I'd really like to have the car by Memorial day, but if not I guess I'll have one last road trip to say goodbye to the GTO. (Top speed runs anyone?

)

Sweet1 · 04-24-2008, 02:37 PM

I found out my shipping info through my SA, he emailed me.

lacrosse · 04-24-2008, 03:30 PM

A little more info on the possible m/v for us week 16ers on the East Coast.

The Fidelio was delivered to WWL on 9/07 and has a capacity of 8000 cars

The Patriot was delivered on 1/87 and can hold ~ 5000 cars

The Mignon (delivered 1999) can hold 7,200 cars

The Tasco (delivered 1978) can hold 5,700 cars.

Here is to hoping we all made the Fidelio :drinking:

From top to bottom the Fidelio, the Mingon, the Patriot, and the Tasco .

Pike · 04-24-2008, 03:35 PM

I really never imagined we'd be excitedly exchanging pics of .... ugly ass tanker ships... ! But I guess it's the cargo we're really interested in. :thumbup:

I just hope the darn thing makes here in one piece and that there are no weather issues on the way. Praying for smooth sailing!

lacrosse · 04-24-2008, 03:58 PM

Once we get the shipping info I guess we go from being amateur logistics experts to amateur meteorologists.

dmboone25 · 04-24-2008, 05:24 PM

When I got my first E92, I tracked it across the ocean--it was on the Patriot. Do we know if any of these ships have the same capability?

It was really kind of cool--little red dots every other day....lol--helped pass the time. :biggrin:

atr_hugo · 04-24-2008, 05:29 PM

dmboone25 - my 135 is on the Integrity and I've been tracking it using sailwx. See the sticky at the top of the page on order tracking. I think it's about 3 or so days out of NY given the progress to date - which may put the car in my hands by the 10th of May.

Cool--thanks for the tip. I am on the Western Highway--so I hope to have mine (due in SC on the 1st) roughly the same time you are hoping to get yours.

Can't wait. Cheers. :biggrin:

lacrosse · 04-25-2008, 08:06 AM

No new news as of this morning. Still waiting

Lax1bmw · 04-25-2008, 08:44 AM

Yeh same here, Lac.

Sux mucho arss I tell you!

lacrosse · 04-25-2008, 09:01 AM

Looks like we might make the Patriot on 4/29. I hope it is that or the Mingon on 5/1. The Tasco doesn't look too good!

Lax1bmw · 04-25-2008, 09:04 AM

Which dealership did you go with Lacrosse? Has your SA been giving you consistent updated info? Fingers crossed for the Patriot.

jeremyc74 · 04-25-2008, 09:09 AM

I'm still waiting at the port according to the 800 number. I plugged my VIN into the WW tracking, but nothing showed up. Wishful thinking I guess. Damn I hate waiting!
