Torino!

Sorry about that, wish him a speedy recovery. I opted for a DCT and frankly I am in traffic 1.5hrs hours/day and got tired of shifting gears... Don't know if I'll miss it but time will tell.

So now that the ship is in port are we pretty much in the dark until our cars show up at the dealer?

Are they unloading today, or is the dock closed for the holiday?

You could check the transport trucking company, don't know if LHF is also used in the U.S. They have a VIN search on their site.

Ok you are teasing now... Is it time to get in touch with our CN contact?

golovko · 07-03-2015, 01:36 PM

Well she was moored for 12 hours in Halifax and I assume more cars will be getting out in Newark/New York so it'll be longer.

Good point and it is a federal holiday today technically

My mail was delivered today so I'm assuming the federal gov't is observing tomorrow as the holiday. I'm sure customs is working on our cars and VPC. Hopefully we'll have our cars this week....Torino has left port..

SKaliM3 · 07-03-2015, 04:12 PM

She's redocking again at another location? Does anyone else see this? I'm tying to capture her on the Statue of Liberty's webcam.

aboulfad · 07-03-2015, 05:38 PM

Yep she did. But the first area was for WW so they must have unloaded the BMW, i think.

You're correct, I checked Google hybrid maps and noticed that the first area it was docked in was next to a massive parking lot and the second location has no area for vehicles..

SKaliM3 · 07-03-2015, 08:42 PM

Here she was in NY Harbor, Happy 4th of July!

aboulfad · 07-04-2015, 04:48 AM

I hope it's Belvedere or Grey Foose Vodka! FYI for reference here's the status changes for my car as reported by WW. Now it's waiting to hitch a ride on CN train.

Happy 4th of July! I just noticed our thread got 5 golden stars, how did that happen? Or was it because I just rated it ???

Naz24 · 07-04-2015, 12:51 PM

Picked up some supplies to add to my collection.

Let's go already!

aboulfad · 07-04-2015, 04:30 PM

Hahaha I guess we are all the same. I am going w lots of sonax and carpro products. I am still refining my list. This will probably be the most boring period... Nothing to track until the car is on train for me...

I was always a Sonax wheel cleaner fan. My buddy told me to try Adams. So I gave it a shot. Already have $120 worth of wheel woolies in my garage.

As for Sonax polymer net shield. It's the best.

aboulfad · 07-04-2015, 05:17 PM

How's the wheel woollies? I was considering buying them. I already have like $1k of products accumulated from this car but so many new products on the market, so I am trying some.

I am gonna detail my car when I get it so will be doing CQ UK w reload w all the prep required. Can't wait ... I took vacation to spend time w my new baby

They are worth every penny. Get them for sure.... Especially with the Sonax! And it'll help you keep the calipers clean.

Also go for the detail brush to clean the lugs

aboulfad · 07-04-2015, 06:01 PM

Cool

I was on the fence for the whoolies but now thanks to your advice my bill went up by another $100, up to $375Cdn! I will get the woolie 3 kit and a brush.
