My car was scheduled to depart on the Manon today http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/ima...roundel_1_.gif

The complete story, with details about the Manon and the voyage, as well as photos from on board a similar vessel, may be found here.

congrats one the 335d :thumbsup:

I remember tracking the freighter with my 535i on it daily :P

Thanks Jonathan...

I assume you have but in case you haven't, check out some of our many posts about tracking the vessel as it crosses the pond:

Also, take a look at a thread I created when my car was being built -- pay particular attention to post #9 which was JDN's final post before his passing... :cry:

During the time my ship was loading and getting ready to sail, I actually watched it via the webcams at the port:

Finally, Jonathan, I fully expect you to follow my lead and make a Google map that tracks the progress of your ship! ;)

Very very awesome...:thumbsup:...thanks for all the great detail! LOVE the 335d.

Great post Jonathan! I still have fond memories of my '86 524TD.

I saw a commercial once where they were driven down from the North Pole. This is very surprising.

The Manon - with the 335d on board - left Zeebrugge en route for Southampton, U.K.

The Manon has already visited (and departed from) the Port of New York and the my car was offloaded earlier today.

congrats Jonathan :)

Good luck with picking up the new vehicle. I am sure that you can't wait.
