The ship is currently moored off the Southampton coast, right on schedule. None of the cameras seem to be working at the port though.

All right! Loading up those Rolls Royces and Minis they use as ballast to keep the important cars safe.

The boat is now being tugged out of the port. The long voyage Begins and painful wait begins

Hey, aren't Minis also made in German factories ? BMW owns Mini and I saw a production video of a Munich factory showing both BMWs and Minis.

I'm thinking I'll let it go through the run in without changing anything and then DINAN DINAN DINAN.

Well, I just setup the Vessel Tracker Account (Trial of Course). Will track it on this for the next week before creating a new Trial account. The boat is doing just 16 Knots

Like watching paint dry, isn't it? It actually went by a little faster than I expected. Wait...what am I saying? I'm still waiting?!!

It's hard to believe no one else out here has a car on this ship. I'll keep cheering you on, too. Maybe there's someone waiting for something other than a 2er who will find this thread.

Supernaut · 03-16-2015, 07:26 PM

My recollection is that's typical speed for these big girls.

Gatte · 03-16-2015, 07:47 PM

If only they could transfer some of the horsepower of what they're carrying into their own engines, they'd be here tomorrow.

Thanks a lot elincali. More than the wait itself, thinking about it is what starts to get to you.

Yup, remember some of the suggestions I made in my first response to you on this forum ?

They might come in handy now.

Looks like mine is on this ship. I have been trying to stay patient but it's becoming harder and harder the closer it gets.

Since I have another 3 weeks for delivery, I'll be obsessively tracking everyone else's cars and cheering you on.

If that's the case, I sincerely hope your delivery gets delayed a little longer.

I'm kidding of course. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Well, at least anybody here.

NOOOOO!

Today is my 3 week window that they say the Performance Center dates are firm. I'm locked in unless somebody crashes the train from Charleston to Greer, South Carolina.

Looking at the port website they are saying that this should be there on April 10 so there is a chance that I get mine around the 15th-20th(2 days at dock and 3 days transit). Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
