arter · 06-25-2008, 05:49 AM

Just picked up Fedora coming into Halifax this morning.
Fedora is the green triangle.....

Civ95 · 06-25-2008, 08:05 AM

that's great news! I went away for a few days (long weekend in Quebec), but everyday I though about the Fedora pushing across the Atlantic...

Civ95 · 06-25-2008, 08:08 AM

by the way, arter, you might want to make a more restricted use of the terms "Just picked up"; I had quite an adrenaline rush for a fraction of a second there...

Civ95 · 06-25-2008, 04:04 PM

Status Port Time(dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)

DISCHARGED HALIFAX, NS 25/06/2008 17:49
LOADED ON VESSEL HALIFAX, NS 11/06/2008 10:00

getting closer

I tried today to create an account with CN Rail (I think the car will take the train to Montreal, then a truck), but they said I didn't have any "business relationship" with them...

arter · 06-25-2008, 06:45 PM

WooHoo, you should get your car next week.....
hmmm I am guessing on next wednesday... 7 days dock to dealer.
Here's to hoping that Canada Day doesn't slow you down.

For me, saturday ( or better

) I hope.

arter · 06-26-2008, 06:13 PM

Tomorrows the day my car will be one of the dots on this dock at the VPC

BavarianBeastTamer · 06-27-2008, 07:04 AM

My CA emailed me yesturday and said i might get the car mananna or monday at the latest!

wow! I don't know what "mananna" means, but Monday is quick indeed!

as for me, I'm not expecting any news from my CA until Wednesday, since this is a long weekend for most, and my VIN doesn't show up on the trucking company's website (although I assume it needs to take the train first, not sure)

I'd be very happy to take delivery next week, but can wait for the week after

wait... who am I kidding... I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, GIVE ME MY CAR NOW, I'LL TAKE THE BUS TO HALIFAX IF I HAVE TO!

I could see it being released late saturday for transport so monday may be possible, but that still seems very quick.

I am going to be out of town from the 3rd to the 6th so I know that that is when mine is going to be delivered

I know Civ95 is going to get his first for starting the thread

BavarianBeastTamer · 06-27-2008, 12:05 PM

A german, an englishman, an american and a mexican were on a ship much like the fedora. They were all drinking heavily and then the german gets in a bmw and drives it off the ship. They throw a life preserver and the german gets back on board. They all ask why he would do something like that to such a wonderful car. He replies, " Well in country we have so many bmw's that it really doesn't matter." Then the englishman goes and drives off the boat with a aston martin. The englishman gets back aboard and says, " Well we have actually too many in my country, much like the germans and their bmws." The american thinks for a second and throws the mexican overboard.

arter · 06-27-2008, 01:08 PM

Fedora is now at the dock

arter · 06-27-2008, 09:07 PM

Cars discharged at 16:48 to the dock. Fedora now leaving New York city and moving to to charleston for it's next stop.

arter · 06-29-2008, 08:43 AM

The website has now moved my car to being at the VPC. I think this occurs after they clear customs. The NY /NJ people may be having their cars loaded soon

magid · 06-30-2008, 08:01 AM

Anyone gets their cars yet?

BavarianBeastTamer · 06-30-2008, 08:21 AM

Going to pick it up after work.

Congrats man, hopefully I get mine as quickly as you did.

BavarianBeastTamer · 06-30-2008, 10:06 AM

Yeah man ordering a car is hell. I've read so much, bought so much and managed to turn every conversation i had bmw this or bmw that. That's why i love these forums. People actually listen

arter · 06-30-2008, 04:22 PM

Congraduations, you are the first

. Remember photo's....

Called my Ca today and he thought end of this week ( you know, with the holiday in the middle, etc.).

And with me out of town wed-sat then this becomes next monday

BavarianBeastTamer · 07-01-2008, 12:09 AM

So i just picked it up. Just wondering if anyone is worrying about the turbo lag. I have and opinion. But i'm going to keep this to myself. I want to here what other people think. All i have to say the car is very civilized until you let it go. Then it is a true bavarian beast. Other than that my only other disapointment was you can't have the iphone paired with the ipod/usb connected. Hopefully it'll get solved by a software update. Otherwise it's the best one of the best cars on the road today

My car arrives at the dealer on Thursday from NY to MD ... hopefully early in the morning. Didn't notice any Turbo lag in the test drive, but will have to see.
