Well I missed the Fedora, but am booked on the Courage. Expected arrival date is 10/13. At that point it will only be about 30 miles from me....waiting.....waiting.....waiting

Have Courage!

How do you know you missed the Fedora and are booked on the Courage?

Schn3ll · 09-24-2008, 02:30 PM

I am hoping this will be my vessel as I just found out that my car completed production today!

My CA called me and said a booking had appeared on his computer. He was pretty surprised when I named the ship and the dates, but then I have everyone here to thank for the necessary links such as this one:

Just put in your vin# and it will tell you whether you're booked and on what vessel.

I am also on the Courage. Having taken her out on the road for 2 weeks in Europe, driving my truck in the states is driving me insane.

ptack · 09-27-2008, 08:55 AM

Yeah, I'm trying to lay low and avoid cops as my inspection and failed-inspection stickers are now expired. I even just had to have a garage remove the radiator thermostat and hard wire the fan to keep it from overheating. My 1 can't get here quickly enough.

AchtungF80 · 09-27-2008, 09:03 AM

I hope I can get on this boat too!

ptack · 10-01-2008, 12:16 PM

Courage has left Bremerhaven. Antwerp is next.

AchtungF80 · 10-01-2008, 12:26 PM

Any good webcams of Bremerhaven?

ptack · 10-04-2008, 03:20 PM

Departed Antwerp - Southampton tomorrow and then Port Bayonne New Jersey!
Dinner at the Captain's table tonight - black tie.

I'm also on the Courage! Anxiously awaiting my souvenir from my honeymoon a few weeks ago...

Anyone know if it really takes 7-14 days to get to the dealer??

ptack · 10-12-2008, 08:19 AM

Should be pulling up to the dock in NJ tomorrow. My dealer says it could take at least a week to get ED cars through customs. It's not too predictable. Keep the fingers crossed. I want my baby before Holloween.

Dana135 · 10-12-2008, 09:02 AM

Thanks for the update! This wait is getting painful... I miss my girl! :wub:

2 weeks sounds like a "don't yell at me because its taking too long, but if its early, you'll have my baby" estimate

I predict 24-48hrs processing and then its trucked to your dealer.

Dana135 · 10-15-2008, 10:25 AM

Anyone have any updates on their cars???

ptack · 10-15-2008, 04:58 PM

The baby is off the boat and back on the dealer tracking system. Now we just have to get through customs (ED). Courage left NJ today.
and the weather is so great right now - come on, come on, come on
