PATRIOT Has Left the Docks (4/11/07)

mrdirosa · 04-11-2007, 09:52 AM

Left Bremerhaven 4/11, expected in Charleston on 4/28. Are you on it? Bill of lading is attached below - see if your VIN is listed!

JKratty · 04-11-2007, 11:47 AM

I'm with you! But I do believe I'm bound for NYC.

JKratty · 04-11-2007, 11:57 AM

Not even counting yours and others headed for SC, there are 559 vehicles onboard PATRIOT getting off at NYC. That's one serious schooner.

Have fun waiting guys... It sucks bad

mrdirosa · 04-11-2007, 12:01 PM

Waiting does suck - but at least it gives me time to stockpile all the parts for when the car gets here!

If my wedding wasn't coming up, I'd have blacklines and a PROceed on order! Alas, guess I'll have to settle for "practical" mods that the woman will sign off on, like 3M film and -- maybe -- tint. ("Really, honey, we live in the city and need ceramic tint so would-be criminals won't be able to see inside!")

Anyway, I don't think I'll mind this wait compared to my misery while she sat at the port for a week with zippy updates or information available. At least i know it's moving!

I hear ya... My car should arrive at the end of the month.. I have in my garage... Wheels, Tires, Radar Detector, PROcede and the paint matched reflectors....waiting. All I need now is my car!!! ha ha

My car is on the Patriot, too, headed to Charleston - I hope. My CA assures me its headed there for PCD, however my VIN shows up on the "destination port New York" list, not the Port of Charleston list. The 800# doesn't have access to this information. Seems to me the car will end up in New York.

mrdirosa · 04-11-2007, 05:33 PM

Anyone doing a pickup from Adrian at BMW of South Atlanta?

How long did it take from the last day of production to departing on the vessel??? My car is finishing tommorrow 4/12. I am sick of this wait! Ordered 1/07.

335i Space Gray coupe on black, ZPP, ZSP, 6MT, Poplar trim

mrdirosa · 04-11-2007, 07:54 PM

My car finished production on 4/4, got on the ship 4/10.

Although it said "being transported to the port of exit" for all of those days. It finally said it arrived at the port this morning; however, it was actually ON THE SHIP yesterday!

Best bet is to check the WW site with your VIN - I don't trust BMW.....

My car was completed April 3rd and "released to the carrier" April 4th - on the boat April 10th.

Mine was completed 4/1, on the boat with everyone else 4/10.

DAMN!!!:mad: My car was completed on April 3rd and its not on the PATRIOT. I hope she can make it on ASIAN CHORUS or ATLANTIC CONVEYOR!!

Where do you find the Bill of lading??

mrdirosa · 04-13-2007, 10:06 AM

You can only get it from someone that is already booked on the ship - it's listed with your VIN info on WW's website.
