My MA emailed me and said my MINI is still at the NJ port. BOOOO!!!

Assuming that means it hasn't even made it to the VDC doors yet.

grrr

Patience grows shorter as the car gets closer!

Tweeckey, You know so well that music is a big part of motoring !!!

And here's another idea for you fellow sailors...This is REALLY OCD....
From the port website, I got the name of an NCL cruise ship that is docking on the same day, same pier as my car carrier ship. And what do the cruise ships have on the front ? a WEBCAM!!! If aimed in the right direction, is there a chance we watch the cars roll out ????????

Unfortunately, the Norwegian Majesty's webcam appears to have broken about 3 weeks ago. I'll never know if this could work...

You do realize that if our deliveries are extended (even for an additional week) that we will both be certifiably insane, don't you?????

Congrats, chknlil.
I did the same just a few days ago.
And I never knew how much I hate to drive my brother's Hummer H2 until now.

how long did it take for the OL to show anything like that after your car got dropped at the port for VDC?


Chap, have you contacted your MA yet?

Off the ship 17:01 Saturday the 14th, OL updated early hours of Wednesday the 18th. Note that the OL still shows it is at the VDC, the "Review Order Details" is where the delivery date shows up.

CONFIRMED!!! Sailing on the Western Highway due in Charleston on the 26th!!! That's the good news...bad news is that I live in Charleston and according to my MA, I still have to wait until 7/14 (the release date for the JCW) before I get my car. He told me that when it comes in he will call me so that I can go look at it! ALMOST THERE!

Don't sweat it. Sneaker has been on a boat for 5 days and is already halfway to the states. My MA informed me today that the system had just been updated. You may still be on the Fedora!

Wow Starry that is just messed up! I'm pretty sure your baby is on a ship somewhere! I don't think they make it wait that long just stranded at the port. The guys from ASK-MINI says it only takes a couple of days usually! I really hope yours is loaded already!
