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?
Not yet. Early next week I plan to call the dealership and advise them I want only the mechanical inspection when they receive the car, then I'll follow up with an email. I don't want them do any kind of exterior or interior prep on my car at all, especially washing it.

I would imagine that you folks in L.A. will probably have your cars on Friday or Saturday next week! Can you believe the wait is almost over? I am thinking that I'll have to order another car to keep the feeling going!!!

No word yet from my CA but he also knows I'm heading out of town. I'm going to email him to see if we can arrange for delivery on the 29th after work. It'll be a long work day Tuesday but I'd rather let it cool off a bit so I can ride home with the top down!

wow. man. you guys lucky. although, i guess i can't get all bent out of shape that you're having this lovely little winding up conversation b/c we'll end up getting our cars at the same time. but still. and i dont know, i think may 29th or 30th is REAAAAAAAAALY far from now. april and may 2007 = a black hole, i wont remember anything from this time but waiting for the car. which is too bad, b/c some other neat stuff has been going on.
frag -- the suns better bring it tonight. that's all i have to say.

Yeah....
It's a little strange.
I'm leaving in 2 days, get to see the car in 5 days.
The funny thing is, now that the date has crept up on me, I want time to slow down for a just a little while as I can't help but shake the feeling that I'm going to forget to take something with me.
If it were just a trip to the dealer 5 miles away, it wouldn't be so daunting...but I guess i'm going to be about 6k miles away.
I was going to take the laptop with me to post pics, but the wifey has urged me to leave it behind. So hopefully I can find myself an internet cafe or something to get at least a couple pics up!

Hey Fragadellic,
Would you mind checking your aislive account for our ship Maersk Tide (call sign 9VEC) and posting on the Maersk thread.
That ship is not reporting to sailwx, and we're in the dark. ETA Panama 5/25/07
Thanks!

Hmmm. I don't go anywhere without my laptop (ok, well, maybe not the bathroom...LOL!!) and I definitely wouldn't leave it behind if I was doing ED!!!

Seriously, this is starting to get good. You people realize, don't you, that the ship docks in PH sometime tomorrow night around 11:00pm PDT, right? It's scheduled arrival time is 0600AM UTC!!!! I haven't been this excited about a car since I bought my 1987 Mustang GT t-tops new in spring 1997!!!

Here is the current location as of 11:00am PDT Saturday May 19.

haha I hear you Frag!! I am way stoked. I bought a 92' Mustang GT and flew to Boise to pick it up..... I feel just like I did when I was 16

Starring at my wheels everday makes it that much harder. I want to install them on something quickly.

I am hoping that I can pick my car up around the 28th-30th. I wanted to fly out to Cali to pick her up, but the dealer said that was not available. Oh well.

Farewell Carmen People!

I'm wheels up in less than 24 hours!
It's getting close for you guys and gals...
here's to a quick delivery for all of you!!


Forecast shows rain in munich on my pickup date...oh well...it sure ain't gonna dampen my day! Hopefully the weather will dry up during the week for a quick jump to 150mph. Hopefully the wife won't be paralyzed w/ fear so she can get a shot of the speedo!

That is schweet. Make sure to take more photos than you think are necessary. You'll be glad later!!! Carmen docks in PH in about 24 hours. I bet the local SoCal people have their cars before the weekend!!! I am hoping for a delivery next Saturday, which would be SWEET!!!!

Have a safe flight and post pics as soon as you can!!!

Congratulations to all on the Carmen!
In April, my friend and I did an ED. She got a 328i and I got a 335i. We dropped hers off right away, and toured Europe in mine for a week. Her car is on the Carmen. Mine didn't get on until 2 weeks later (Maersk Tide). My boat has not even reached Manzanillo yet.
We should have driven her car!
