courage has left the building

soma4u · 11-08-2006, 02:42 PM

Courage has just left the UK, headed for the east coast of the USA. Who else is aboard?

mahu · 11-08-2006, 04:46 PM

I am on Courage too. my car has been waiting for the ship for like 2 weeks. Courage will be at Charleston on 11/14/06.

Man, I can't wait.

njemoore · 11-08-2006, 05:06 PM

I'm on the courage too. Waiting for a 335i sedan. How are you tracking the Courage? The tracking site I tried only had data from September.

I opted for the AT after test driving a coupe with it. I never thought I would buy an automatic in a car, but it was almost as fun as a manual and I'll still be able to drink coffee, etc. in the stop and go commute!:rocks:

soma4u · 11-08-2006, 05:23 PM

the port of charleston has not upated their website

Courage is not due in until the 21st now. The sight I have been tracking it is aislive.com...I think the vessel just went outside the trackable range, so now we just have to wait and see if it makes it over. Also the walleneus wilhelmsen website has a tracking device that will show you updated eta's. I've only been checking like 10 times a day

ICALL · 11-09-2006, 10:27 AM

I was hoping I was on this. Three days after the Courage left, 800# still said awaiting vessel. CA called a couple of days ago and said I was on the Courage. He confirmed I probably won't receive the car til just after Thanksgiving. I'm in South Florida. From what I understand, this ship became a "local" and is stopping at EVERY port. I think its even scheduled to stop in Maryland. Looks like it stopped twice already in Belgium. Reminds me of getting stuck on the local train in NYC. Below is a link to the Courage's schedule. The port turns red after the Courage gets there.

Link didn't work so I copied all info into post. Simply go to WW site and track for ships leaving prior to Nov 2nd. When Courage comes up, click on the call letters and schedule should come up.

I just checked the schedule at port of charleston's web site:

http://www.port-of-charleston.com/vessel_schedule.asp

It shows Courage will be at "UP" (Union Pier Terminal) on 11/14/06. Scroll down to about the middle of the page you will see it. This is different than what the shipping company's schedule. I am confused. It looks like the shipping company's schedule is more realistic. But you never know.

LethalDosage · 11-09-2006, 03:53 PM

I'm on Courage as well and my CA has just informed me that the port arrival date is 11-22. Here's a link for tracking your vessel in route but you'll have to wait until it's near a port: http://www.aislive.com/AISLivePortal...ndex=0&tabid=1

where in GA?

LethalDosage · 11-09-2006, 05:51 PM

Columbus

soma4u · 11-09-2006, 06:15 PM

are you getting a coupe or sedan?

Blue328xi · 11-09-2006, 08:37 PM

Im on the Courage...Damn got to wait for a Dec PCD.

LethalDosage · 11-10-2006, 07:45 AM

335i Coupe - TiAG, Black Leather, Brushed Aluminum, AT, ZSP, ZPP, Paddle Shifters, Nav, PDC, Heated Seats, Satellite Radio. My order was placed early October and has moved very fast. We're lucky to be on this ship. Anyone expecting a car that's still in production around Christmas will have an extra 2 week wait as all BMW plants shut down for the holiday... so I'm told.

soma4u · 11-10-2006, 10:20 AM

looks like the sailwx website has updated and now has current status of "Courage"...check it out

njemoore · 11-11-2006, 03:44 PM

Looks like the Courage is making good progress. Does anyone know where the midwest cars are shipped to? I'm assuming NY/NJ so hopefully I'll get mine before Thanksgiving.

soma4u · 11-11-2006, 08:25 PM

whoa... a little off track. Hopefully they're not too drunk on the way over. New location says courage is rather close to greenland ( or at least i think thats greenland) only about 400 miles north of "suggested" track accross the atlantic

ICALL · 11-11-2006, 09:51 PM

lol, yeah, that better not be right.... I'm providing a link. Not sure if everyone see the same as I do. It basically shows me the 3 times I checked it. Seems like it was going right along the longitude line(I think that's longitude) until now its suddenly up there. No way it made it up there that quickly. Either someone made a hard right and gun'd it to pick up some drugs or that's an error. I'm hoping for the latter. Then again, its not scheduled to get into NY for another 5 days. Guess they figured they had some time to kill and went fishing. Will check back in the morning... When clicking on the link, zoom out 3 times to get the "big picture"

LethalDosage · 11-11-2006, 10:35 PM

Most likely looking for the best current to ride.

soma4u · 11-12-2006, 08:46 AM

BTW, it says the wind is blowing at 57 knots...thats almost hurricane strength...no way this thing can be accurate

ICALL · 11-13-2006, 08:13 AM

Almost there

Gettin a bit anxious now! Anyone gonna make any mods to their car?

mahu · 11-13-2006, 10:56 AM

anybody has any idea how long it will take from the point when the ship arrives at the port ? I am in St. Louis. Can't wait to see the baby.

335i sedan. metallic black, black leather, premium, sport with paddle. aluminum trim.

SPOOLED · 11-13-2006, 11:15 AM

I think it may be anywhere from 7-10 days after arrival at the port. Can anyone else confirm?
