Where is the VDC in NJ located?

I wanted to check it out via satellite using google maps.
Anyone have the long/Latitude or the address of the BMW VDC port??

Thanks

I found it. Port Jersey. There are a lot of cars stored there when you look at it from google maps off of Port Jersey Blvd. Its nicely place right next to I-95 for quick delivery of cars. My ship is right on that port dock.

I wish I knew the callsign...the only Toronto that comes up is a Canadian war ship called, "Toronto" and its call sign is CGAD, by going to these two links

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/search.phtml
http://www.meteo.shom.fr/vos-monitoring/info.htm

That happen to me...the only time I caught my ship was when it was in the port where I got the correct callsign. I was only able to see my ship in the southhampton port. The Halifax port in Canada and I can see it in the NY port
using the below link

It takes about 6 days to cross the atlantic so I would check the NY port than.

Hey again Sancochojoe...

Yeah, these cars, although coming across the pond, don't "travel" a lot. Picking up yesterday, there were only 2 miles on the odometer. Not sure if the dealer has the ability (I think they might), and not sure why (well) they would, but unless they zeroed it out, not much road covered in the process by the MINI. I think I read the other cali VDC as being only a mile and a half or so long in distance, which seems reasonable.

Still haven't figured out what took so long to get from VDC to dealer. I forgot to ask if anything bad happened in transit. Although, I don't think I want to know. We're happy now!!!

How long did it take for you from VDC to dealer? This was with no additional add ons there, right???

I'm having my JCW Aero kit and tuning kit done at VDC so I have no clue how long it will take.
