Very sensible, and more restraint that I'd probably be able to muster ;)

Out of interest, when did you place your order with the dealer?
I've got a busy few weeks sorting out the garage as we have just moved house so the March delivery will be perfect.

I ordered it exactly a year ago, 7th February...

Sometime between 5th and 19th Jan.

Build date on etis is 15th Dec; was told it was built and at gate release on 5th Jan; told it was at the docks on 19th Jan and got the message above today. I only ask every 2 weeks otherwise I'd go "Manders" (OED reference).
you two are evil [MENTION=14613]SteveS[/MENTION]!

d [MENTION=20570]Heretian[/MENTION] Will look nice mate! I haven't seen a full TY car, but the black definitely pieces the car together well, i'm still considering with my wrap i'm having done whether the roof goes black or not... decisions decisions decisions, worst case, I just wrap the roof in black after :lol:

Ah that's a good idea!!!! But my car is pink remember...


I'm now thinking everyone's going to be underwhelmed when I reveal the wrap colour, it's a one off colour that's never been done before, it's not something incredibly intricate design :thumbsup::lol:

Ok
It now seems the Baltimore ponies are starting to get on the ship's

1) Do they still end up at Zeebrugge ?

2) Is the infamous underseal still done here?

3) Are they then shipped to Southampton? then at last on to the dealer?


Any information would be nice on the time this takes

All correct I believe.
Zeebrugge is apparently the customs entry point for Europe.

1) Yes, route is Baltimore -> zebrugge
2) Yep
3) Yep, then dealer transports them up to their dealership, does the inspection, arranges the finances/payment with you, and the pickup date, then you pick it up, drive off and forget all of your issues :)

As [MENTION=8211]stevec[/MENTION] said, Zebrugge is one of the customs checks in the EU, most ports are, but because not all cars on the boat will be UK bound, then Zebrugge is just a logical position to import to. (train lines out to most of mainland Europe close by for other cars etc).

Stupid drop offs and pick up points then aint it! There must be a reason, maybe ford don't have all cars on that ship, maybe it's not all cars? Could be any range of factors

Remember that car transporter that nearly fell over in the Solent last year? That mainly had mini's but also a few Bentley's, a few others - and quite a bit of construction equipment too, so it is a "shared" ship. I would have thought a lot more goes from Europe to the US though...

Yep. was confirmed above cheers laddo :)! Looks like they're majorly shared ships (Fuck it just put all the UKStangs on one ship and be done with this back log!) WWL even have a picture of the mustang on their page!
