Once there it will be scheduled for the next boat to Zeebrugge
Define 'next' Think mine's been there a while and now I've got the old radio silence. US DOCKS might be the longest stage of the journey.

Latest about my car from Karen:-

Hello

Your Mustang is currently on a Rail heading for the US Docks. Once there it will be scheduled for the next boat to Zeebrugge, the sailing can take up to 14 days. In Zeebrugge it will be custom cleared and then placed on a twice weekly boat to Southampton. Good news it is officially en route now.

I hope this helps
Kind Regards
Karen

Get in!

Wow! By the sounds of that... you could get your car in literally like 5 weeks time!

[MENTION=17421]jord79[/MENTION] There's a boat docking Wednesday and another docking Thursday at that port, that I believe some people are stating they'll be on that popped up in another post/thread...

It took may car 10 weeks from being built to arrive in Zeebrugge and then 4 weeks (ignoring the Christmas break) to get to Southampton - it seems to have taken 8 weeks to get off the assembly line to being loaded on a ship - so the guideline of "around 12 weeks" for delivery is still valid.

I would hope they would be able to squeeze out some of the delays in the process by now, though...

HI there

My car arrived in Zeebrugge December 29th if I remember and they did the loom recall there and it was collected January 5-6th and was in Southhampton last Friday.

It arrives at my dealership tomorrow who are saying Friday delivery, but I have pushed for Thursday as I see no reason why they need it for nearly 2 days to do a 2hr PDI check on it.

Workshop busy with other customers' cars? Not saying it's the case, but it potentially could be.

They need it for 2 days to 'run it in' for you :)

Run it in... to a tree, and then fix it. :lol:

On that note, imagine how devastated you'd be if on the PDI drive the dealer wrecked your car, i'd be fuming, and knowing my luck, i'll be the first and only person that has it happen to them :frusty:

The Galvaston Highway is currently off the coast of Japan, and is due at Baltamore on the 16th Jan....I suspect that could be the ship bringing the next delivery over:thumbsup:

Finally picking up my car tomorrow! So much for being one of the first 130 in Britain. Don't think I'll be sleeping much tonight
Probably still is one of the first 130 in Britain :lol::lol::lol:.

Jokes aside, plenty of pictures when you pick it up, somewhat mix of relief and excitement from you now?

Very excited but not getting ahead of myself as knowing my luck, there'll be some sort of panel alignment issue or something

I can't remember exactly, pretty sure it was 131 but not 100%
I'm surprised it's not tattoo'd on your forehead :lol:.

Jokes aside, good job, does anyone know who has #1 or #2? (Assuming Andy has #1?)

#1 is in Ford HQ apparently, 6 is close enough for me :) haven't seen anyone posting with a lower number
