Like jzmundy said, it is agonizing to watch these boats move at 12 knots across the ocean.

Boheme is still chilling in Sweden.

Pretty cool either way. Anticipation is part of the fun

So my car left a few days ago (24 Jan) on the Orion Highlight or something like that. I absolutely cannot pickup my car any earlier than the first week of March. Does my math check:

~2-3 weeks transit on the ship
~1 week customs and final prep
~4-5 days transit to dealership depending on distance

This would put deliver to the dealership around the last week of February right?

Orion Highway lands in Charleston on 2/16 as of now. I suppose some of it will depend on where your destination port is (it's either Baltimore/Brunswick/Charleston). then it's anyone's guess as to how long it will actually take to process at VPC. can be quick, can be lengthy (any port installed accessories?). original estimate to charleston was 2/12, so it's already a bit behind schedule. you'll probably be right around the end of February at the dealer.

thanks for the information man! just spoke to my dealer and even if my car needs to stay in the dealership for a week and a half until I get back it's no issues. Home stretch, definitely getting anxious to see the car! Unfortunately, I'm not getting any accessories but I may add metal pedals at some point.

Boheme unmoored from Gothenburg 1 hour ago. 9 hours to Zeebrugge, Belgium.

JoeyBananas · 02-03-2017, 01:54 PM

I don't think I have the patience for two+ more weeks.

So what was week 5 for me and then turned into week 7 has now just met in the middle for a goldilocks solution and has entered production for week 6. Here's to hoping for some incentive programming for delivery in March.

Glina · 02-04-2017, 12:18 PM

It's just an estimate on that page based on the schedule, not reality.

Or your car is sitting at the port/bottom of the port...

Looks like the dates are getting pushed back by a couple days... Super excited. Looks ill be getting it second week of March.

The wait...

omaralt · 02-06-2017, 10:13 AM

just called the 800 number and it said my car should be done on 2/8! that was insanely quick.. hope they didnt put a 435i engine in there

Luckydog · 02-06-2017, 10:24 AM
