With any luck, I should be joining you.

If you search by booking number (http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...okingSearch.do ) and input GBSOU579357, you get a list of the VINs that will be with us. Some have "*" next to the VIN. Mine does not.

Is this our ship? http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...html?call=SIVY If so, I hope the information gets updated.
(see also http://cgmix.uscg.mil/PSIX/VesselRes...esselID=494882 )

UPDATE: Now no one appears to have a "*" next to their VINs. I wonder if that means the cargo has been finalized.

Regular Gas

My salesperson told me that the NON "S" model 5spd should use regular. I have read some fourm posts that said non S models ran rough with premium, but problem went away with regular. Confusing??

According to http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...CargoSearch.do, the Boheme has left Belgium and is on the way to the U.K.

From the site:

ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 13/11/2007 13/11/2007
SOUTHAMPTON UNITED KINGDOM 14/11/2007 14/11/2007

Note: : Red ports of call means the vessel has already sailed.

It all depends upon the compression ratio of the car...nothing more nothing less.

I can see the Boheme on the live tracking link. http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live...uthampton.html

I hope my mini makes it on.

UPDATE (10:44am): The live tracking link now says the destination of the Boheme is Halifax (previously said Southhampton). It says the status is "moored". I guess it is loading now or soon.

the Boheme has gone to red on the ww site indicating it has departed, however it still shows at the dock on the ais site. she must have the hatches closed and preparing to set sail. i wish her smooth sailing and light winds on her journey

If you search by booking number (http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...okingSearch.do ) and input GBSOU579357, you get a list of the VINs and beside the VINs you see "LOADED ON VESSEL".

Mine is there!
