I was booked on my ship a week in advance of me finding out on the cargo tracker. My CA wld have been able to tell me that had he actually responded.

OC still says "Scheduled for Production". Useless.

The 800# matches what my dealer tells me, that it arrived at the port yesterday. Maybe if I am really lucky it can get on the Integrity, which leaves tomorrow.

It will get here when it gets here.

At least the info you get matches. The customer rep on the 800# told me that my car got to the port compound on Sun, my CA told me that the car got there on Thurs. Nonetheless, as far as I can tell, it isn't on a ship.

Stars Colin Ferrell and Ralph Fiennes among others.

amy!

wiki had a pic of Bruges and it is quite stunning...

Latest position of the Tagus... a lil bit south of Dover England... and the fun fact that goes with that: "Dover’s history, because of its proximity to France, has always been of great strategic importance to Britain. Archaeological finds have shown that there were Stone Age people in the area; and that by the Bronze Age the maritime influence was already strong." I once again credit Wikipedia for that small nugget of info...

nice movie. bruges is indeed a great place to visit, and uhmmm bite the dust.

FWIW, the Grus has left Bremerhaven. Time to bug your CAs. :biggrin:

SCSedona1 · 04-13-2008, 08:01 AM

Holy S*!# I must have made it onto the Courage after all!!!!!!!!!!! OC and 800# shows En Route. Wooo-Hoooo!!!!!!!!! :smile::biggrin::w00t::thumbup:

:headban g:

Nice1 · 04-13-2008, 08:03 AM

Nice! I wonder why your VIN is not showing up.

SCSedona1 · 04-13-2008, 10:07 AM

Not sure, even though I've heard others talk of it being nearly a week before their VIN showed on the WW autocargo tracking page. But, I doubt the OC and the 800# are both wrong. Could happen, but I doubt it. Especially since OC always pretty far behind the times. Will make it a point to yap with the ole CA tomorrow to get the straight dope.

Sweet...Glad you are on the move.. It's been pretty cool tracking the Tagus but I know it will get boring once it hits the open seas for it's voyage here...
The Courage is currently in the Flemish region..

SCSedona1 · 04-13-2008, 10:41 AM

I see the Tagus over in or around Southampton, and the Courage parked in Antwerp. I just hope my extrapolation of the evidence is correct and the car is on that boat.

Red135 · 04-13-2008, 03:46 PM

Hey, Nice1, are we going to have to switch to a new support group if our cars sit at the port much longer?

we can move over to alcoholics anonymous.

seriously, i think we're already on a boat. the weekend might be making it tough for us to see updates. i don't see any activity in other forums regarding the two ships that just left.

Man, I hope that you are right. People show up at the port and leave and there we still sit. I have checked the 800#, OC, with my CA and the ship websites because I would just like to know that the car is at least moving.

Red135 · 04-13-2008, 04:03 PM

And speaking of AA, my beer is empty.

I second that.

Yes the 2 worst times so far was waiting to go into production (which felt like forever) and sitting at the dock wondering what ship you wld wind up getting on. Then you read posts of others getting on a ship and you are still waiting and it gets even more frustrating.

Quick update for anyone on the Tagus.. it is finally on the move again... left southhampton and is in the English channel heading for open water on it's way to it's next stop.. Halifax. It's going to be a long 7 days till it reaches port there and then onto NY..

I'm hoping for more shipping route lines to show that it's making progress.

At least I have to travel for work this week, so I'll be on planes and won't be able to refresh VesselTracker.

Well you will not miss much while it is out at sea... gonna be pretty boring but I will most likely be checking in on it everyday regardless... I can't help it.. it is a sickness....:smile:

timt · 04-13-2008, 08:04 PM

Yeah, hoping for a west coast boat to show me aboard too - it is like death here. Thanks for the distraction there Topvega - but somehow it rings hollow

I'd rather be stressing about a slow-moving boat right now after 2 weeks of completed build. Then in two weeks you will hear me bitch about the incredibly slow boat! haha.

fshowcars · 04-13-2008, 08:10 PM

i'm late to the party... simply on order still!!!

edit ... also i like how the 135 manual is no where to be found online! they need to update their website!
