Booked on the FALSTAFF

My car was loaded onto the FALSTAFF on 5-21-07. Anyone else on this boat, and where's the boat?!

Anyone have an idea of how to track the boat, I'm curious!

Thank in advance,
Kevin

Head over to: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...esselSearch.do
and type FALSTAFF in the search box.

According to the web page, your MINI is en-route to the Panama Canal.

No problemo! Btw, those are some nice specs for your MCS. Remember to post snaps when you receive your car!
Good luck!

Likewise, you do the same! ... I am really curious about the illuminated door sills and Union Jack Frame.

Lightning Blue was my second color choice. It's damn sexy thats for sure!

Last question, and I'm being nosey on this one... how'd you manage the free tint?

I believe we're on the Falstaff as well. Can't wait!

Thanks for the map. I was trying to get that come up earlier and wasn't having any luck.

The tracking provided by gforce23 in the 4th post, was last updated on May 30th. Is there any way I can track a more current update? I believe the link provided by gforce23 only updates when the Vessel reports weathter updates, so perhaps there have been none. To my knowledge this vessel (The Falstaff) was to arrive at port and dock yesterday, 6/10/07. I would like to find out for sure that this has happened.

If anyone has gone through this procedure in the past, could they give me a synopsis on the chain of events to follow? From port to VDC takes how long? I know from VDC to dealer is roughly 3-10 days.

Thanks for any replies.

Kevin

According to w2global.com it went through Panama on the 1st and is on schedule. But it hasn't updated about landing in Port Hueneme yet. I haven't been able to get ahold of my MA to find out if he knows anymore. I'm also eager to get my MINI and would love to find out more if anyone has info.
