He will be pushing it considering mine was built 5 weeks ago and still hasnt reached Baltimore.....:eyebulge:
Yeh I would be pissed too???
5 weeks is along time but apparently rail to Baltimore won't leave until there are enough cars to fill the all rail carts so might be able to squeeze on some earlier than others.:shrug:

Which is strange when you consider mine was built on the 5th and left on the train on the 8th. Now the WW tracker says it's going on the Tiger on the 4th.

I am led to believe the VIN numbers of the built cars goes on a dart board at flatrocks lunch room. Each Afternoon an employee is blindfolded, spun 15 times then told to "throw".....Each Vin that is hit is loaded on a train....



My dealer just emailed as well and said hang in there :) He also mentioned WA get a smaller allocation than the rest of the states so WA wait times and deliveries are at the longer end????? not sure if thats correct but being WA it wouldn't surprise me.

Maybe it was repaired, or had a part shortage ?

I sure hope not!!! Mine was built six weeks ago and is with Darryns on a train?? I haven't cared about the huge number of people ordering after me and getting their cars built before, but what is really pissing me off is knowing that cars built after mine by as much as a month are sitting in Baltimore and some are already on a boat!!!!!:frusty: I picture my pony parked in a holding yard in a corner with hundreds of others parked in front and that each time they load a train it's a case of bad luck trains full before they get to mine. So they fill up the holding yard again while waiting for the next train and so on and on!!! They can't be that stupid can they?:shrug:

Your theory wouldn't surprise me.....Obviously no sign of yours "track and trace" yet either? I think our chances of getting to baltimore, off loaded, processed and "loaded on vessel" are getting slimmer by the hour...:frusty:

farking frustrating.....

No sign in Track and Trace:( We've got a couple of days of hoping, but sure not looking good.

Unfortunately I think you may be onto something here. Would not surprise me at all.

US logistics know-how might have gone slightly backwards since the Normandy landings.
