Yeah, mine says the same thing-weird!

gforce23, seems we're in the same 'boat'. At the dock, but still not in the system via VIN. God, I hope we make the boat. Can't imagine we'll miss it. Still have 2 days before departure.

Crossing all available digits!

Mgibrace and gforce23,
I hope both of you get onto the first available ship. It would really suck to sit on the dock for a week or more. Good luck!

rover, I'm not even thinking about missing the boat. Of course, thru my life, I have in the past "missed the boat". Hope this isn't one of those.

Hold the boat! The digital man at ask-mini told me my vehicle is complete and waiting to be released to the carrier, but nothing on the ships tracking site yet. Turbo's kickin' in, wait for me.......

gforce, nah, just a poor attempt at humor after a few glasses of red last nite. Forums, like ebay, should rarely be attempted with wine.

Still nothing at the carriers site for my vin.

jopo, next is 'at the dock'

Looks like the Maersk Wind doesn't sail till 1800 on the 4th. We're covered (I think).

You know what I was totally wrong the ship (the COURAGE) just got in at 16:00 theitr time and it is only 16:45 their time now. I was wondering why I couldn't find it on the radar but I watched it come in this morning. Except that initially I thought it was pulling out. I't says on the ship movements page that it is leaving at 23:00 today. This of course is for only us east coast guys. When does the west coast boat pull in? And did G-force make it on this boat yet?

Just checked and Maersk Wind doesn't arrive till 6/4 at 0730. Maybe that's why neither gforce nor I have confirmed shipping.

No information on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen auto cargo tracking web site as of 3.25PM EST.
Plus, I'm planning to give the green signal for the JCW Aero kit which can only mean further delays of about a week at the VPC, assuming it gets there.

The aero kit is very cool. I think it's worth the wait. Remember, all things come to those who wait.

Great, I'm reduced to platitudes.

Heh heh The aero kit is cool but comes with an uber-hefty price. This is definitely my costliest add-on option.
Ahh, and more "tip" for all fellow (future) owners, get the aero kit right now if you're thinking about having one. Going to the stealership in the future is bound to give anyone a massive heart attack. I'm easily saving about 700-750 bucks by getting it installed at the VDC (or is it VPC?).

No joy this am. Maybe gforce and I are on the next boat, tho I can't imagine why(luck?). Seeing as other west coasters already have spots on the ship(booked in mid May) and we don't makes me suspicious. I really won't worry till the ship sails Mon nite. Next ship is the Madame Butterfly on the 11th. "Girly boat" for a Girly car" (check the other thread on girly cars)

so dog, a car in 2 wks? Cool!

gforce, breathe.......
