Sorry EFromme. I've been taking a break from the forum just to keep my mind off of the car!

I haven't received another update from my CA yet and I'm going to (try) and avoid hitting him up for more information. I've probably been one of those annoying customers that's constantly nagging for an update. I just want to make sure he doesn't key my car upon arrival!

At last reporting, Wed. looked like a good bet for delivery. I'll let you know when I hear something different. BTW, what does your CA say?

MorpheIS · 12-13-2007, 10:05 AM

Nine pages and not a car delivered yet!

Slant - Did you order through Lauderdale BMW (Pines or Ft.)?

My CA says that it usually takes about 4 days to get the car to the dealership once it is off the ship. I agree....looks like Wednesday or Thursday at best until i get to take my baby home!! The days seem like months!!

EFromme · 12-13-2007, 10:25 AM

HAHAHA!!! Good One MorpheIS

cipher5 · 12-13-2007, 11:04 AM

We will probably reach 10, MAYBE 11 pages before an actual delivery.

That'll be it!

This is kind of like high school. We've gotten to know each other through the ordering and production phases (freshman and sophomore years.) We've seen each other grow through the boat transport and VPC stages (junior year.) And yes, we'll still be around here for the dealer delivery phase (senior year), but let's face it... after we all graduate, chances are, we'll move on to bigger and better things and won't ever hear from each other again!

Okay, I just re-read the above and I admit this is a pretty lame post.

Wow, that's pretty true... And wow, you have a lot of time on your hands!

But its ok, we are all going insane awaiting delivery, or redelivery in some cases. Best we can do is find a way to entertain ourselves. I for one hopes this weekend goes by very quickly.

Fortunately, I have a bunch of client holiday parties starting tomorrow. I have a feeling my weekend will be a quick blur -- primarily because of the egg nog.

Pines - Just heard from CA again and he states: Your 335 is going to hit the port on the 16th, it should be to me on the 22nd or 23rd, that's a nice Christmas present!!!"

I would imagine your in the same boat, sort to speak (pun intended - MorpheIS isn't the only one that can have lame post - LOL).

j/k

High school years on speed... good analogy. I'm sure some of us will reunite over in the photo gallery forum showing off our mods, etc.

I called my CA..he said the 22nd

MorpheIS · 12-13-2007, 04:57 PM

If you sunshine state folks get your cars before us NYC area blokes, I'm going to be totally bummed.

The guys on the boat that departed on 11/19 (Courage) from Germany got their cars in Boston yesterday and the Florida dudes get them this Saturday

So we should get ours between the 19th and 22nd, in theory.

I don't know why I'm still posting in this thread when I said I would stay away. LOL.

slant83 · 12-13-2007, 06:36 PM

it's like watching a train wreck..you can't look away!!

By the way, where's the frickin boat now? Did it leave B'more? Sailwx.info says no, Wallenius says yes

Heli411 · 12-13-2007, 07:15 PM

Looks like Integrity was outbound from Baltimore on Sailwx, south of Hathaway island and on schedule for Charleston. It appears to be 560 nautical miles at 15-20 knots should put her in Charleston on time for the 15th... now, what about the VPC processing cars over the weekend??? Any guesses?

slant83 · 12-13-2007, 07:30 PM

They do Saturdays with "sold" priority cars

fucema · 12-13-2007, 09:21 PM

Why are your cars delayed so much? Yesterday I confirmed with my CA that I will be picking up my car this coming Saturday, the 15th, in Baltimore, MD.

Hmmm... I'll have to triple check I guess.

Saturday makes more sense than Sunday, I guess. That would also mean I could drop her off at the body shop before leaving on Christmas vacation and have her complete when I return.

Doubtful, but THAT would be funny (in a twisted sort of way)

I think it's more anticipation on our part than delays on theirs - so far, everything seems to have gone pretty much on schedule.

EFromme · 12-14-2007, 09:47 AM

Does anyone know what exactly needs to be done once the car makes it to the dealership before they can deliver the car? How long does it take?
