I hope this helps. So how about another beer, while you wait. The Rolls are picking up the tap.
Well, I don't want him to go to Port Hueneme -- he just needs to come to Charleston!!! In the meantime, I'll gladly take a drink on the Rolls dime (make it a rum & coke though, if you would).

Looks like the babies are causing trouble again:

Southampton Daily Echo

Officer put on leave
by Shawn Crystal

Southampton Police put officer John Naiper on Medical Leave today, pending a complete psychiatric evaluation. This morning at 5:30 AM he arrived at the Southeast station with two tow lorries pulling MINIs, one green and one blue. When asked why he'd brought these MINIs to the station instead of the impound yard, he attempted to explain that they needed to be jailed.

Officer Naiper told shift sergeant Dan Rerdean that the two MINIs had been racing around south Southampton "Well, acting like a couple of drunks with 200 HP under the bonnet." Officer Naiper also stated in his report that the autos had no drivers, and as such, the cars themselves needed to be "tossed into the drunk tank".

An officer went outside the station to request that driver's transfer the MINIs to the impound lot, the drivers and the MINIs were gone. Later contact with the tow drivers verified they had left the MINIs in front of the station.


That's a close one. They better not miss the boat. They got a date in Houston.

Well hopefully you're gonna be on the Carribean Highway with us. I hear they always put enough rum on board in honor of the name.

Definitely hoping so ;-). There's a good chance for rum cake, too!

I'm hoping to get on the Tasco. I know those on Patriot are already partying like crazy. Who's wishing and waiting with me? Well, I 'm glad my baby will dock in NYC at least and not the West Coast . I'm trying to think positive but it's not easy....

I think I saw the Caribean Highway on Radar. There were several ships with the names overlapping but there's definitely a ...highway showing. The only ship with a ...Highway name is our Carribean Highway so ALL ABOARD!

I was watching the web cam. Since it's night and the camera only updates every 10 minutes, it never got a decent shot of the ship arriving. But She's in and we gotta get the babies out of the pubs and into that ship!

Next step: how to take control and get to Houston.

Looks like I (well, the car that has no name) is on the Fidelio as we speak.
This tracking stuff is fun; what a great way to build customer excitement.
Maybe soon I will be able to add a pic to my sig (thought about using a pic of my track car but somehow it seems so unfaithful).
I don't think I have ever been this interested in the progress of my daily driver. That's pretty exciting, too.

I say we blaze our way onboard, whether they're planning on us or not. Seriously, how much room do we take up? Surely we can find some other nice souls that will share their bunks with us.

Try this website, put in the callsign "WQVY" or name of the ship. WQVYM was wrong, sorry This website is about 7 or 8 day off it showing it coming to Southampton.

Who needs a bunk when there's a BAR!

Is the time 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM British time? I thought it was 21:00 or has it been moved back?

Of Course I'll help. After we toss a couple of 'em off, we'll report them missing. That should start a search and we can sneek onto the bridge and take over the ship. Off to the closest port to home - HOUSTON!
