It will be in Charleston on the 28th, and then however long it takes to go through the VPC and get to my dealer. First or second week of November...can hardly wait!

das, does the WW tracking finally show your car?
By the way, the Patriot is near and dear to me...she brought my car and JDN's back in late March, 2004...it's nice to see your car being carried by such a fine vessel with a grand name...

I've found out a bit more about the PATRIOT. It was originally named FIDELIO, but its owners, American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier (ARC) of Montvale, NJ, renamed it along with the rest of its ships. ARC is now partly owned by Wallenius Lines, a unit of Wallenius Wilhelmsen. ARC also reflagged all of its fleet to the United States, so PATRIOT is a US-flagged vessel.
Some interesting information here:

http://www.arrcnet.com/fleet_patriot.htm
Here's the FIDELIO before she was renamed:
