ANYBODY ON THIS TRIP? I HOPE TO PICK MINE UP IN GA AT THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER... BOUGHT THROUGH MILITARY SALES PROGRAM.. NO US DEALER YET... NICE YACHT...BUILT2008.... VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BILGE WATER CLEANING SYSTEM... ANYWAY... CAN'T WAIT

 

Buzzin,
Looks like I will be on it (I certainly hope so.) My clubman was complete on the 12th but not exactly sure if it is at the port yet. It has been released to the carrier (I guess to get to the port.) Otello sails tomorrow (15 July) and since my VIN is not showing up in the WW system yet...I'm thinking I'll be waiting for the Fedora. Oh well, what's another week? btw, all caps is shouting in the online world. My clubman will join me in Sarasota, FL when it get's here. My sig has a pic of my current MC (non-stretched version.) Happy enough to buy another one.

Found out I made the Otello. 2nd to last car loaded. Good luck on the Fedora!

Cheers,
Peter

 

I just found out that I missed the Otella yesterday and I was bumped to the Fedora. OMG, another week of waiting.

My MA says that the car should be at the dealer and ready within a week of it getting to the Port of New York so I guess I should not complain too bitterly.

Anyone else joining us on this cruise?

 

I was booked to the Otello, but missed it yesterday, too and now show as being booked on the Fedora. I thought the Figaro was the next boat outta Dodge, but, oh, well, what can ya do.

 

Here's some useful info that I modifed from PassatJeff (who needs to change his friggin' username) in the Figaro thread.

I'm jealous. I completed on the 11th and am scheduled to be on the Fedora . Was told probably last week in July, which looks like its going to be the first week in August now... sigh, oh well.

 

Yeah guys mine is also scheduled to depart on 7/21 on the Fedora. Can't wait!

 

I need to make sure i actually made the boat. I hope so ... ordered in May...I don't think Bertha will cause an problems. i would hate to get covered with salt spray.

 

I got bumped to the Figaro which goes directly to New York (no stop in HAilfax yay!) It does not got to Baltimore or Savannah.

I gained back five of the seven days I lost getting bumped off of the Otello on Monday

Time to find the Figaro thread!

 

I'm on the Figaro now, too. Have fun Fedora people! Hope to not see you again (except on the road.)

 

see ya guys... thanks for putting together the tracking info/sites... have fun with the new wheels

 

I KNOW I AM GOING CRAZY! I JUST ORDERED A PRIMA CAR CARE BUNDLE FROM DETAILERS PARADISE AND I HAVEN'T EVEN PICKED UP THE CAR YET. MY WIFE IS GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THIS STRANGE BEHAVIOR. MINI SHOULD BE IN SOUTHHAMPTON TODAY! THEN ON TO HALIFAX

 

I made it by the skin of my teeth, considering my MINI was scheduled to be completed on the 19th(and I'm pretty sure thats when it did complete.)

 

I found out this morning that I'll be on the Fedora to Brunswick, GA.

 

Ok, I'm slightly confused. When I look at : http://www.ais-live.co.uk/AIS%20Live...uthampton.html
I don't see the fedora there(when the map is set to satellite view)
Unless the marker they show for it is just north of it. There is currently a ship about 50 yards or so south of the Fedora marker. Think that is the Fedora? It would make sense being that there is no other ship there

 

The satellite view is not current... only the markers are current. It's just like Google Maps; the sattelite view could be months or years old.

 

Ah, that makes sense, not sure why I didn't think of that:D

I wish we could tap into gov't satellites to track this ship!:D

 

I found this article on the Fedora via Google News...

http://www.shippingtimes.co.uk/item_10031.html

 

The bad news is that the Fedora is still moored.

The good news is that my MINI got loaded at 21/07/2008 16:45 uk time and mine is headed for NY, and mine would have been the second to last group of cars to be loaded, so it should be shipping out fairly soon.

 

Status:Underway

 

 

Cool stuff!

 

yeah !!! exciting news... aarrrr.......thinking about ordering a few supplies... maybe some Biosyn oil,,,,a stubby ant,,,a garmin nuvi 680? i may even need floor mats,,,,, whats the best way to care for or treat Tuscan leather?

 

Can anyone locate this ship? I've checked the two tracking sites I know about and can't find it anywhere?

Where on earth is Fedora?

 

I am pretty sure we can't track them (at least I have not been able to track) the ships once departed from Southampton. My new MCS is on the Figaro, scheduled to arrive Sat. 7/26 at NY. Looks like the Fedora departed 7/21 from Southampton. I tried the sailwx site and it couldn't indicate where the Figaro is located. Frustrating eh?
