Welcome to the club!

Here is the Asian Chorus off the coast of Denmark. I believe the next stop is Southampton, and then on to Halifax.

STE92VE · 03-09-2007, 01:27 PM

That looks more like an arrow to me than a cargo ship.

Maybe your car is being shot across the Atlantic by William Tell.

Cool! That deserves an overture!!

Damn, I crack myself up.

Asian Chorus has dropped off the face of the Earth. Maybe it has been sucked down by a huge vortex?

What did you expect? You have a German car being transported on a Korean made ship that flies the Panamanian flag. Let's see...there's the guy with the funny little moustache that wanted to rule the world, a guy by the name of Kim Jong-il and his brother, Menta Lee-il that wants to nuke the world and then we have Noriega who was just a SOB.
Did you really think they wouldn't want to screw with you one more time?

STE92VE · 03-10-2007, 07:39 AM

I found out why you can't track your ship:

LEDZEP · 03-10-2007, 07:52 AM

I hope she's moving at that speed too.

I'm really curious if anyone actually gets information from the ship tracking site by using their VIN. We're all dumbasses if that never works and we keep trying!

yes they reconfirmed that it was on the asian chorus but

But it would be a sweet deal if we were to pick up our cars on the same day
well i will keep you posted on what happens and when i will pick it up hopefully same day

Cool. The Asian Chorus is due in NY on the 23rd (I think they have already pushed that back a day, as it was originally the 22nd). The 23rd is a Friday, so they won't get it to the VPC until Monday probably... we would be lucky to have it arrive by the 30th at IG Burton. It's likely to be the first week of April.

Visit this website: http://www.eukor.com/homepage/manage/cargo.jsp

Click the link Loading & Lashing Operations to view a cool video that shows the cars (non-BMWs) being loaded and secured for the voyage.

STE92VE · 03-10-2007, 10:12 AM

Man...why did you have to go and find that video? Did you see how they drive onto the ship and up those ramps? I know they will be taking air and then will be bottoming out with my car. I want to fly over to Germany right now and see if I can drive my car onto the ship myself. I don't want any hotshot , pseudo Michael Schumacher doing the "break-in" on my car.
Thanks a lot Dave.....now I have something else to worry about!

LEDZEP · 03-10-2007, 10:17 AM

... and those were Hyundai's or something... imagine the fun they have with BMWs!!

Did you notice all the donut marks in the ship!

STE92VE · 03-12-2007, 10:15 AM

Like always, I have to do your work for you. Here's your freakin ship location as of today:

LEDZEP · 03-12-2007, 11:24 AM

You have better luck than I do. Vesseltracker.com can never find it for me. I guess it's limited to ships that are above the water. :|

finchman · 03-12-2007, 02:22 PM

My car finally showed on the tracking today on THE ASIAN CHORUS!!!!! My first tracking iformation i have been able to get without my CA's help, Looks like I am a Month away from getting behind the wheel..Thanks for the update on the vessal..my car will be getting off at Halifax..happy sailing..!!!

LEDZEP · 03-12-2007, 03:13 PM

Congrats finchman, and welcome aboard!

STE92VE · 03-12-2007, 06:10 PM

Request for information: Now that you guys are making waves, did you get confirmation from the WW site regarding auto cargo tracking?

STE92VE · 03-12-2007, 06:29 PM

FYI: The Asian Chorus is anchored off the coast of Belgium awaiting to enter port.

iatacs19 · 03-12-2007, 06:33 PM

does this thing have a turbo?
