My Ride: 545i; Manual Shifter
Congratulations!
Boy, this wait must have been pretty brutal for you, huh?
I would be checking that damn thing everyday. Then, during the times when I'm away from the computer, I'd be thinking about the next time I would check.

I know exactly what you are going through, it?s both fun and frustrating, waiting for your new car.

My car has been stuck at Bremerhaven for almost 2 weeks now. My ship is not schedule to leave until 9/25/05. And it will not arrive until 10/21/05. Why did i not make it onto Takara. Instead it has to be left behind for 10 days on tagus!!!!!

Just found out from my dealer that my car is actually on the water.
But he did not tell me which boat it is on. Since I can't find information on the wallenius site, i am not sure who is the carrier of my car.
All i know is that the car is expected at VDC by 10/17. Missing the CCA event at VPC by 2 days.
