All Aboard the Don Quijote 2/28/11

My 335 made it on the Don Quiojote (I hope). Anyone else have their cars on this ship bound for Port Hueneme, CA (3/23).

To all the expert tracker out there, where do I go to see where this ship is currently at?

thx

I see the ship has made it through the panama canal. Thanks Clw for the link, . It is scheduled to dock in Cali by 2/23. Hopefully I can take delivery before 2/26 (holiday credit expiration date).

Looks like it was last tracked on the 15th?

Position Recorded on: 3/15/2011 11:30:20 PM (UTC)

No word since, maybe the ship sunk.

Try this link when marinetraffic.com loses track

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...ml?call=9V8797

Only updated every six hours or so, but better than nothing until she gets closer to Port Hueneme.

What did your dealer tell you? Did they say it would be possible? From what I've seen it's an average of 7days to get it to the dealership if not more.

Hello all,

Anyone have access to marine traffic at the port in Cali can verify for me that the ship has arrived at port?

Thanks.

My CA said it will take up to 10 days to get them up to Seattle.

Cheers!

Yo Red,

Any news on when you are getting your baby? By the way, how long did it take for the 5 series to get from Port Hueneme to the dealer?

67R60,

I have to sign my lease paperwork by 3/30 to get the holiday credit. My CA told me on Sunday that he thinks the car should be here by today or tomorrow (on the truck). No call today yet .

My dad 5 got to the dealership in less than a week I believed. I didn't know the exact date cause our original CA was on his way out and our file kind was lost.

Man you are close to rolling around in your new 335! So from port to dealer in 7 days if you sign by Thursday. Not bad. I bet you jump when the phone rings huh?

Tony,

With technology, it is fun to track every steps from production, to the vessel your vehicle will be on, and so forth. To me, it makes the waiting process seem a lot longer.

see you have a car on ordered too. When is your due to arrived?
