Anyone in the Virginia Beach area have a pair of binoculars? I think you should be able to see the Patriot now!

Something tells me it'll end up in port before morning...

I'm sure the car is still playing it's favorite tune...

Although I think it arrived a bit later than I guessed, the Patriot is moored in the Port of Baltimore now...

The car is a half-day's drive away now...I wonder how long it'll take to get to the dealer??

Trying to recall the dates but I think mine took 8 days from the ship arriving at Brunswick until I took delivery. And that included trucking the car from Brunswick to New Orleans.

I hope our cars don't get stuck in VPC very long. I assume they process through the weekend there. If all goes well, I hope to take delivery next Friday or Saturday as well.

I was hoping the marinetraffic web site would show something by now (pics of the shhip), but I'll live.

Are you expecting a live shot of the ship or just an icon representing it's location??

If you want to see the icon, click here:

If you want an actual live image, you might have to call Chloe O'Brien...

Well Rudy, since you're almost there, you might as well drive the crap out of your E60 while you still can!

BTW, what do you plan to do with it?
