At least it's a far cry from a few weeks ago not knowing if your car made it on a boat or not.

I just signed all my paperwork yesterday and so I'm pretty set to go! Car has been funded and all that's left is to pick her up!

I think we're all in the same boat as Ecginla now (no pun intended) in that we're not going to know where the ship is until it docks at Port Hueneme and BMW shows status at the VPC. Kind of sucks. Makes me not even want to check the website anymore. But they're definitely not reporting a position anymore.

Tadders, at some point, won't the AISLive site show it's position off the coast of the USA? Maybe I should try to get the free trial account?

I have an AIS account and it doesnt give you ship positioning for some reason. All the content on their site says that you can get location 24 hour delayed, but in reality you get nothing with their free account it seems. I have also loaded the AIS Live plug in for Google earth. Unfortunately there is no such boat as carmen! Lots of other boats, but no Carmen! Sounds like we are in a holding pattern until the 21st!

I swear to GOD, they are screwing with us in a BIG way. This is a total roller coaster of emotions for me.

I had just conceded that we wouldn't see anything from the ship again until it hit PH. And now we see this?!?!?!?

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Back to checking sailwx.info every 6 hours again!!!!

Here's the latest as of 5:00pm PST:

im, guess what: jealous. i literally feel sick to my stomach when i think about the car. its absolutely overwhelming. imagine the anxiety that would build up from november 24 (t-giving) to december 24 (christmas eve) when one was a kid -- now combine all 13 years i was into christmas, and multiply the feeling times 30. the body cannot handle so many chemicals flowing out of the hypothalamus or wherver such things come from. ugh.

I think I'm going to ralph (as in puke). I should have read your message AFTER lunch!!! LOL!!!

Serioulsy, I feel your pain. There is definitely a component of depression involved here. I don't know what we would have done without the internet and all these ways to find out (or not) what the car is doing...

LOL!
the internet can be your best friend, it can be your worst enemy...
we always want to know more, yet when we know too much, it sometimes haunts us.

I leave in 5 days for Munich...yes i'm super excited! Yet i've read in the last 2 weeks or so... 3 or 4 Euro Delivery cars were not ready when the customer got to the ED center. I just kind of wish nobody would have mentioned anything about it.

I haven't been able to do any work these past days.
running through things that I need...
-Passport
-Confirmation Letter from BMW NA that states my car will be ready on 05/23/07
-Hotel Reservations
-Train tickets
-Global Sim card and phone

too much stuff!

at least Carmen's creeping closer!!! Can't wait to see the pics of all your cars!

Carmen Location

They're definitely not taking the fastest route! Probably because Carmen is on the schedule for Port Hueneme on May 21 and if they get there early, there's nothing they can do but sit and wait... Probably no parking space either. Kind of like getting to Dallas Ft-Worth early and having no gate to park the plane, so you sit on the ramp...

Anyway, here is the current location as of 5:00am PDT Wednesday May 16.

Yeah don't remind me of DFW...they had us circling for 2 hours until we ran out of fuel and had to land in Shreveport to refuel

Got a call from my CA today. Told me the car was due in the country on May 21st (no surprise there!) also told me that the car would be ready for collection before the end of May. He mentioned that it would take between 6 and 8 dys to get to the dealership.

Not sure if he was being generic or optimistic as I had heard on these forums there was a delay at VPC and something around delays on 335/Verts due to something that no-one could figure out (on these forums).

Either way I pushed him until the second week of June for now. I am tied up with travel, training classes and I would like to sell the current monster before getting the new one. Who knew it would be so hard to shift a CLK 500!? Someone coming to see car on Sunday, if he takes it then I will call CA back and say whenever you are ready and send someone else on one of the upcoming trips. I'll take the one to Costa Rica and send someone else to Dupont! hahahah

Anyone else hear anything from their dealership yet?
