I just received a mail that my car is arrived at the docks (built on 11/12).

I hope that I quickly get on a vessel :s my other car is already sold
It's good to hear they're still moving cars from build -> Docks, so there's at least some movement on the Line, as someone infered earlier that builds were going to be knocked back due to 'no room' for cars to go anywhere. You've still got anywhere from 4 weeks (if you're on the next boat and pass through everything in perfect timing, highly unlikely) to 8 weeks (Average) before the Mustangs on your drive mate! Not long now at least!

As for the mention of Boats @welsh treg , mustangs aren't unfortunatley the sole inhabitants of the ships, if they were I'm sure we could get them over a bit quicker, afaik it's a ship rammed full of cars, and Mustangs make up a very small percentile of that, well, UK mustangs do at least :eek:.
Free the Baltimore ponies sounds like the name of an indy band, like it! get that petition going too!!!

Has your car showed up as "received at terminal" on WWL?
It needs to be allocated to a vessel first before it shows up on its tracking service - and that's only if its on a WWL ship. If its K-Line I'll just have to sit and wait it out.

Okay.


Anyway, slightly back on topic.

4:11 in, some clips of the 5L GT and some recordings of it going around Silverstone. Should wetten the appetites of those still waiting :love:
This video proves why you should pay absolutely no attention to automotive 'journalism'!

Can't get my head around the reason why Schmee and SOL are so appealing on YouTube etc. but can't argue with the success they've gleaned from it I suppose?

Lol! Wouldn't call Paul a journalist, but by default I guess he actually is, isn't he? Hardly knows his stuff about cars, Shmee is much more knowledgeable, if you want awful automotive journalism, you should see 'Mo Vlogs' / 'Mo Nation' seems like a brilliant chap but his car knowledge is pretty pants, for a guy with something like 200k subs! :clap2:.
Anyway, i think they're appealing because they show people cars that most would rarely see, and explain them (or at least in Shmee's case he does), couple that with brands (automotive, racing companies and dealerships) actually taking them up and offering them chances to spend time with different cars, gets you a decent look into them, rather have them around than not - even if the information is pretty rubbish at time:lol:!

On another note, could kinda tell SoL was trying to impress when he was talking about the car, or just to me, it seemed very fake :shrug:.


Anyway, back on topic. Build week for me! Blend is tomorrow, etis is getting hammered by the F5 button (not literally) :cool:

Mine has been at the docks since well before Xmas:frusty:...

I was told it was going to be put on the Parsifal, which is due to dock at Baltimore today or tomorrow....I asked for confirmation today to be told that.

Because of the weather, a load of cars that were due to be on the Tamesis, missed their sailing....

So those cars are now going on the Parsifal, and the ones that, like mine were due to go on, are now having to wait for a later shipment....:mad:

Ah well As of tomorrow, ive only waited a year since putting my money down:doh:

On top of that, I'm into my second month of Chemo, so I ain't in the best frame of mind at the moment:paddle::paddle::tsk:

Got this email today. :)
Was that an unprompted email? I've had a couple that read like that (leading me to believe I would have an allocation by now) but they were both in response to me asking for an update.

It wasn't you can see his email to Stacey below (There's a picture of, what i'd assume is him, but we'll just say a 'gentleman' ;), and then a message which stacey has responded to)

I have been told that I look like the kind of man that would own a RAM 1500 pickup.

Such gentleman. Very 'MURICA. Wow.

I'm sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for you :(
Ditto. And there's me bitching about a car. Gives me some perspective.
