Time is approaching

Hey guys, just heard today that my car is done with production. This was done thru the automated system since the live "system" was down all day. They told me that it would be up and running tomorrow. When I called, the guy acted like I had just talked to him. His name was Jeff, it was probably one of you guys that had just called him. Hey Rambalu80, my car was in body shop on 13th also.

We are at the exact same status on the same day. Not sure if we would be on the same ship since I am east coast and you are west.

My car was completed on the 13th, and was set sail on the Liberty on the 16th.

The OC site finally caught up to the production status. I can now see my VIN #! Slow and easy......

So my car finished production on 4/12 and when I called today the status was "In transit." Final destination is Houston, TX. How can I find out what ship I'm on?

Thanks.

You're probably on the Liberty. My car (as well as thome22's) was finished on 4/12 as well and got on the Liberty. Your CA can pull up your car on the dealer system and find out. I'm not sure how long it takes for the VIN to show up on WW cargo tracking...

Yeah I guess we are headed for Charleston, SC. I guess SC is closer to Texas than NY.

Well I was pretty sure this would never happen, but my status is that my car was completed today and released to the carrier, waiting for transit to the port of exit.

All this is pretty cool, and Bimmian.com just delivered my painted reflectors today!!! All nice and shiny and waiting for the car to install them into!

So far in the April production thread, it looks like the cars for tadders, ecgiinla, and me will be on the same train to Bremerhaven and likely the same boat too, since we're all going to Port Hueneme at the same time...for L.A. and AZ deliveries.

There is a WW boat "Carmen" scheduled to depart Bremerhaven on April 27 and arrive Port Hueneme on May 21. The next one is Titus which departs May 4th and arrives May 28. Of course, these are just WW boats. I can't figure out the NYKLine website to get their schedules...

I would say we have a good chance of the Carmen ship...

My car is probably on the same train as yours to Bremerhaven. Finished production 4/19 and have been in transit to port since. I am headed to Charleston though, and the next ship is the Courage on Monday 4/23. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Mine has been at the port of exit since 04/18 or 04/19. I'm hoping she will board Courage to Charleston SC.

Frankly, I would prefer my car be on the Carmen simply because WW at least makes is somewhat easy to track the ship. I would prefer to wait a couple extra days and have it on a WW ship.

I hear you - so would I! I'm on NYK Kassel, and wish that I could track the ship like a WW one...
