Congratulations all you lucky folks on the Jingu Maru. I had so hoped I could ride along. I will wait until right before closing to check on Flo again. I hope to ride soon on Takasago but still no news for sure. All I know is Someone has already driven her

:evil:

BBuskas! Great job finding the pic! I was looking for my MINI but didn't see her

My # is TE18013 for the record. Happy to be sailing. Hope you all sail soon as well! I have been working like a dog for a deadline this week and checking in on you guys is my only moment of sanity. (Obsession....Sanity...whatever)

Now I am going to be working with images of the Jingu Maru dancing in my head! Yipee!!

I think maybe this war stuff is making them not put out the usual amount of information, I was just looking at the takasago. It's not a car carrier I dont't think

Looks like the Trinidad or the Carman are probably my ride.

Zero you haven't been keeping up on your Aoril club reading now have you?

Quote:

About the tracking of boats... The carmen (my boat) was unable to be tracked during its voyage, and others also stopped reporting their locations as well. No one really knows why, i don't think. So it may be that they've stopped (?) or something. Of course it didn't stop me from trying twice a day. The WW website updates pretty regularly as far as arrival times to ports, and they are fairly accurate. The Carmen had to avoid a storm at sea, so her arrival date was pushed back two days and arrived that day.

As for Winnie, I just called ASK MINI, but she's still hangin at the docks waiting to go to the VPC, but hopefully will get pushed over there today, and make it through relatively quick, let's hope anyway...

As for the rest of you, good luck on your loooong voyages, thank goodness for MCO to help time pass..

here's to no bloody icebergs (insert lame titanic music)

run us thru what that deal is again. You have to spend so much on accessories? how much, and what've you picked out so far?

need: floormats (pick carpet or rubber - both!)
need: chrome mirror caps (esp on non-white-roof MINI!)
want: cd changer (for extended Motoring)
possibly: bootbox (organized Motoring, lol)
possibly: checkered roof decal (works for black and white roofs!)

here's how it goes: i have to spend $1000 in dealer installed accessories/clothes...

the list currently contains:
chrome mirror covers
white side turn indicators
chrome exhaust tip
2 chrome vanity frames
"cooper" marquee plate for front
panther leather shift ****/gaiter
panther hand brake cover
black carpet mats
black rubber boot mat
steel foot rest

i'm gonna get an estimate on installation for the stuff that i cant do myself/dont trust myselft to do...but the items above tally to about $575

this rules out the cd changer...way too expensive!

any ideas?
