Strange the marine traffic site doesn't have the leader anywhere near this far along.

Either way, Captain needs to give the command for maximum warp!

Marine traffic doesn't show satellite data unless you sign up and pay (Supernaut found a way around this, but I wasn't able to).

If you wanna track on your own, I suggest signing up for a free satellite tracking account on vesseltracker.com.

the Marine Traffic site will show the last terrestrial location (from land based recievers) until it comes within range of a new one. These will mostly be around ports. I was able to click on a green box to show track, and it would plot out full course with satellite points. I'm thinking I may be benefiting from a glitch.

As an aside, the Metis Leader's paint job is way better than the government grey Oregon Highway. K-Line needs to step up it's game.

I prefer to call it "Battleship Gray" or maybe we can call it, "Fifty Shades of Grey?"

Smile Thanks

I too have a BMW on Metis Leader. It's not a 2 series (it's a 435i coupe). I've been following this thread and appreciate all of the updates that have been keeping us informed.

Thanks.

Glad the updates helped you.

Congrats on the 435i ... it's an awesome car ! I strongly considered it before deciding on the M235i.

Aww ... I think your husband might come after me, for posting these updates, if you spend too much time on this thread

Does he have no interest in the car ?

Your husband and my wife could commiserate. She said the exact same thing to me. The only difference is it IS true and I'm TOTALLY obsessed.

Here's the irony--he's GERMAN! (He's only been here 5 years.) I keep teasing him he's not a real German or he would be more into this. He has an X3 but that was really my doing, too. He's just not that into cars (except Formula 1).

He'll love it once we have it--then we'll be fighting for custody.

Yeah, that's funny--most people do seem to mention a spouse and I would have thought most would be single, but maybe married without kids. It's not exactly a family car.

Keep posting! I'm running out of reading material that I can understand. (I'm mechanically challenged so the discussions on the mods elude me.)

...besides, if my husband came after you he couldn't catch you anyway because YOUR car is faster!

I'm not sure why, but daddy insists on driving at 18.75771 mph, even though the ocean's all clear all around us
