Strange, the bridge camera is normally aimed at the bridge, but at some point, someone aimed it at the Pedro Miguel locks.

edit: Inline_six, did you get centennial cam?

First sighting of the CYGNUS LEADER as it enters the Miraflores gates. It's the boat on the right with a white band on top.

There she is, going through the Miraflores Locks. It's almost a day ahead of schedule.

Here's a composite of her going through the Pedro Miguel locks. This camera has always been pointed at the Centennial bridge until this afternoon. Somebody here must have connections... I'm low tech so it was manual capture then make a video out of it. I obviously missed a few refreshes, too.

I see you have an estoril blue on the way.

That color was taken off F30's this week on the bmwusa website!

That's awesome. You can see the tugs working it and watch the gates open. Very cool.

That surprises me. Not much "color" choice left there unless you go to the M cars, then it's rather garish. I guess EB wasn't selling there, but its rather common with the 2er crowd.

Now it seems like just yesterday we saw Metis Leader go through these locks, but it seemed like an eternity as we were going through it. You're almost there!

Glad I was able to help, Mr. Gatte

I know this is , but ...

This is what I've been up to, recently ... and, trust me when I say that it is more enjoyable than driving my M235i ... and driving my M235i is a blast !

That said, I do miss y'all :'(

(Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad I'm not spending hours online everyday.)

I see in the picture that there is a ship way into the ocean. Were you trying to track that too ??

I'm kidding, I know that's mostly an oil rig or offshore rig of some sort.
Glad you're having fun (The sane type of fun).

Yeah, I was looking at it pass through as well. The boats are identical. It took around 8 days for METIS LEADER to get to Port Hueneme. Hopefully This will get there in the same time period (This would be around 2.5 days ahead of Sched).

It's a fun way to pass time since I have another week until I get my car. It's cool that your car is officially on the right side of the world now.

I was looking at the METIS LEADER thread to see how long it took from port to dealer. Inline's car took exactly 3 days from the ship docking at port to the CA having it ready for pickup.

Does anybody know if the trucking company works on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) ???

I know that my dealership receives cars on Sunday so I would say yes. The car does have to get PDI'd though so that usually happens on a normal weekday.
