So are cars might meet up sitting in the snow at Balti, unless you manage to get a early ship out
Haha, they might be, no snow in baltimore at the moment matey, think all the snow cleared, forecasting some snow to hit new york tomorrow, but think Balti should be clear for the next week or two, slight droppings but nothing severe from what i can find on google :):ford:

Build 02/02, Gate release 04/02, Left FR 14/02, Arrived in Balti 15/02.

So 10-12days after build I was sat in Flatrock. My guess is i missed the sunday train (7th) due to QA and checks, so was put on the week after that's train (14th).

Now i'm sat in Balti, waiting for my ship, we'll see if Karens word holds true (No comments on this until confirmed.)

You wish ;)

Mine was built 12/01 and still hasn't been loaded. You should be grateful - our orders were 4 months apart (IIRC), but you're only 2 weeks behind taking delivery!

I wish what... Didn't wish for anything there :lol:. The dates i'd given are actual facts matey :D!

You did get hit with the snow storm issue though, you should have been loaded, others at that time are on ships now / scheduled for the ship leaving 22/02.(tarago is it?)

I'm also an ecboost owner, so it's a shorter wait time for us!!

I wouldn't be suprised if Mr Mander's car makes it onto a boat before ours. Pissed, but not surprised :)

You were an EB during the build process. You're just another Mustang now ;)

Hey, at least you got my surname correct rather than 'Manders' ' that people seem to assume :lol:. We will see if mine makes it on before hand, i'll feel slightly bad but that'll be overtaken by the excitement, hopefully we're all on the same boat.

True, we're all just Mustangs in snow, in a giant shipping yard now! :lol:

Wouldn't be your fault if your car was loaded first. It would just be the latest in a series of inexplicable events. As you say hopefully we're all on the same boat and soon, too :thumbsup:

Well, I suppose they have to make up for the lack of cylinders and horsepower somehow ;)

It wouldn't be, but, it'd be a bit sh1tty if someone else had waited longer, especially someone on the forums, all the others can fk off, couldn't care less about them :lol:.
But yeah, we could write "A series of unfortunate events" book series based on our mustang's at this rate... and keep up with Lemony Snicket's 13 book thrillers :p.

Hopefully the same boat matey, hopefully! I'm going to be incredibly p1ssed off if my car comes in May, want it in April at the latest (Financial reasons)

@stiggy ouch, burn! Then again if mine comes before yours, HA HA have that for wanting 4 more cylanders and 100 more horses! :D

Hate to burst your bubble, but ironically I just did my daily check of WWL and car is showing as RECEIVED AT TERMINAL!!!!

It's going on the Tarago and due in Zeebrugge 8th March - GET IN!

:headbang::clap2::thumbsup:

Looking at the details (bill of lading) it's one of 38 going on, so who knows, yours could be on there too :)

Woop good for you, didn't want your stinky snow covered mustang on the boat with my pristine baby :lol::lol:!

I'd do a WWL check, but that's overzealous to say the least with it being at the docks... ooo... 2 days :headbonk:

Well my bubble's taking a severe pummelling. How did you get the bill of lading and can you see which 38?

I filled in all but the last two digits of my VIN into the right hand panel and clicked 'track'. This gave three results - two which I'd seen yesterday which have shipped and the new addition MY CAR :) which shows as recieved at terminal.

From there, you have hyperlinks for every column entry against the VIN. Click on any of them and it takes you to the bill of lading. The end column is titled 'QUANTITY', which unless they're sending me 38 cars, I took to mean the number of units in that lading consignment :)

Ex GT in TY. Now GT Shadow in RR
Asked my dealer for an update today (Having already had one from Stacey and knowing what was happening) and also to find out what they can do about stripes and painted roof.

I spoke to him in December during my test drive and he said as I missed the chance to get it added at factory they could sort it at dealer. Quotes are in and its ÂŁ360 inc VAT for either a black painted roof or vinyl stripe. Cheaper than factory and they can add it before or after delivery. Stripe will match the factory one perfectly too so not 100% a modification being a factory option. Just going to have to declare the tints on the rears now which should help.
