Really? That much?

Last time I tracked all this was 6.5 years (56,940 hours) ago and my car was at VPC "only" for 4,320 minutes (72 hours).

I hope the car arrives Monday the 7th, at the VPC on Tuesday the 8th and on its way to the dealer by Friday the 11th.

I just want to take delivery before the 18th, I will be on the West coast for 1 entire week and may not be able to take delivery until the 28th!
aghhhhh!!!! (My wife tells me I am too negative, but I am an engineer and have to look for problems before they happen in my job).

Anyways, here's for a May 11th to the 17th delivery :rocks:

I have read that some people go through VPC is a day or two, others have been there up to 2 weeks.. i hope I make it through in 72 hours..
I'm out of town from May 7-10, so I hope she is at the dealer by May 11 for me to pick up, so I can drive all weekend

Keep in mind it's the VPC AND Customs if you have an ED car.

eldudo · 04-27-2007, 09:05 PM

Is in Southampton, UK.
Should set sail across the Atlantic tomorrow....

TX Coupe · 04-27-2007, 09:51 PM

Thanks for the update eldudo.

I lost it from vesseltracker, and the uk site is not updating. I was just about to sign up for that site, but you beat me to it. I can wait until tomorrow and follow the sailwx website to start the long journey across the atlantic.

Its a screenshot from this website.

I found it on Ste92ve ship tracking sticky above. It is only for the English Channel/Southhampton area, and the Courage is not in that range anymore.

His sticky is very informative.

The Courage in Jan. 2007:

jfulcher · 04-29-2007, 08:45 AM

I signed up for AIS, however they never emailed me with login info.
