Maybe the ship is heading south to pick up speed as is is going "downhill", then hook a turn and coast into port

Actually, a big storm is just to the north with 30-40ft waves and corresponding gale winds. Talk about a blow job!

It's interesting how they salvaged the ship by cutting it in pieces. Check out this link with photos of the salvage operation. http://www.tricolorsalvage.com/pages...?f=06Scrapping

Look at these poor cars!

This is why Carfax is so useful. Integrity is now in waters with 3-foot waves and 60+ F temperatures. Time to drop anchor and have a little swim!

How could you even suggest that idea!? If the bridge crew are lurking members of e90post.com, we're screwed!

Sorry for the repeated updates, guys. But, this is a bit like therapy for the desperately waiting.

Inching forward. By my calculations, we should expect delivery sometime during the first quarter of the year 2011. (I was never good at math...

)

If you're into extrapolating, you might also project the course . . . looks to me like we're going to be making port in Brazil.

Keep it up - I'm curious as well, but just not anal enough to do the actual tracking, research, etc.

It is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Yes. I hear Rio de Janiero is nice around this time next year.

Next Port of Call...Azores

fucema · 12-04-2007, 05:48 PM

What's the first mod/upgrade/change your going to make once you take ownership of your new bimmer that is presently on its way to Brazil(?!) ?

Going for the JB2 and coil overs (for XI) and rear sway bars.

Somewhere in between, I will get new wheels and tires (next spring/summer) and remove the silly side reflectors. Aero mods will be last on my list.

raleedy · 12-04-2007, 06:08 PM

I guess for Brazil the main thing will be the sugar cane ethanol conversion . . . .

slant83 · 12-04-2007, 06:19 PM

and lojack..or in Brazil..wheel locks and pay someone to watch your car at all times

slant83 · 12-05-2007, 07:43 AM

Integrity coming up on the Azores and straight line with New Jersey (www.sailwx.info)

cipher5 · 12-05-2007, 08:27 AM

Headed straight for the Azores... BMW needs to have a Air transit option

Second pic is a perspective of how FAR she still is

raleedy · 12-05-2007, 09:18 AM

It looks as if a more westerly course was tried earlier today (note the zig-zag in latitude) and given up for now. Cuba?

Yeah, what's up with the zig zag?

On board cameras in Integrity's bridge tell a scary tale:

raleedy · 12-05-2007, 11:18 AM

Some Portugese babe in the Azores?

cipher5 · 12-05-2007, 04:29 PM

Man this thing is slow, 4 hours it has traveled only 100 miles. The car could be driven over quicker, well if there were a transatlantic bridge

That's a boat for you. At least they're nautical miles. Even better would be if they were in the general direction of New York.

That's 115 land miles... not a huge improvement

MAZNG · 12-06-2007, 09:48 AM

I don't really think this tracking is helping my anxiety. LOL

I've already received by GP Thunder bulbs, 6000K DS1, 6000K fog bulbs, lic. plate led, Rieger front bumper, Rieger rear skirt, and Vorsteiner rear spoiler AND STILL NO CAR.:sad0147:

It better hurry and arrive cuz at this rate, I'll be broke before I take delivery.

cipher5 · 12-06-2007, 12:31 PM

She's just past the Azores, I think right at about the 50% mark, on its way to NY Port! Few more days guys, few more days, this will be one weekend you are glad went buy quickly.
