[LDitty]

[335xi2k8]

hahahah! thats what i hear

[335xi2k8]

So does anybody know where the prep center is in NJ where the cars got sent to?

[LDitty]

yeah its 20 colony road bayonne nj i think that where the VDC is located. have they landed for sure bc i cannot find out any info anywhere?

[335xi2k8]

im not sure..but i would think the cars are there already since they were confirmed being loaded off the ship yesterday...my friend lives in bayonne i should tell him to drive over there to check up on our babys lol

[LDitty]

that would be great. bc there is no update on either website sailwx.info or 2wglobal.com or at the owners circle

[skiphoyt]

We are also waiting for our first BMW.....535xiT.....on the "FAUST".....have been tracking its progress.....you are correct, all info has stopped.....the main site for WW shipping now shows very confusing schedule for the "FAUST". CHECK IT OUT!!!!

[skiphoyt]

Just realized I posted on the wrong site.....Please excuse the "new kid on the block"......I will monitor to see if any updates on the "FAUST".

[LDitty]

I am just a little worried bc of all the confusion on the websites for tracking..whats up with Charleston SC and the port of nj says cars will be unloaded on 3/3/08...also how come so far no update @18008311117 or website...?

unloading 3/3 i hope thats a mistake!

I just read a post on North American Motoring, a MINI site, that the "Faust" left the port of NY at 1:30 pm today......they had a graph showing all ships in the area and which were underway.......still very confusing especially since the port website now shows the "Faust" arriving 3/3......there was also some chatter about damage to the cars, similar to last month when another ship hit bad weather....I did see where the "Faust" had a day of 25' to30' seas to encounter! Why do we do this to ourselves????

[jnickel]

Where did you see info about car damage?

[335xi2k8]

damaged cars???? wtf! do u have a link to his info?

[LDitty]

WTF is going on!!! are we all in a panic?...no updates make me worried

[335xi2k8]

I just tried doing a quick search on that MINI site and I couldnt find anything saying it was damaged

[jnickel]

Yo, shiphoyt, whats the deal? where did you hear about the damage? you're freaking us out man...

[335xi2k8]

http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/

here is the link to the site he was talking about but I found nothing about the Faust being damaged..they are all waiting for their cars and seem happy to me..i searched by "Faust" and "Faust damaged" and nothing, I dunno

[jnickel]

I couldnt take it anymore, so I called and posed as a BMW employee calling about reported damaged cargo. After pulling some teeth and talking to a few people there, I got them to tell me that the billing number is associated with 2291 cars, and there was no reported damage. However, there was some issues with the doc schedule, so it was sitting on Pier 17 till 10am today. It is now at "Neat" whatever that is (she seemed to think I would know what that meant and I didnt want to blow my cover, so I pretended I knew what it meant), so I would assume by tonight it should be at the VPC...
