Next major milestone has finally been reached! However, the status on the BMW tracking website hasn't been updated to reflect the next state yet (En Route). I expect it should within the next couple of days. Re-delivery is still over 3 weeks away but I'm glad it's finally on it's way instead of just sitting in some warehouse gathering dust. Now it's gathering dust on a cargo ship. I'm really glad I washed it to clean off all the bug residue before dropping the car off.
I love the button-controlled butterfly valve system on this bad boy. Nice to have a stealth mode, but is it worth almost doubling the price? Will probably be a few years before I get to this mod, but it sure is tempting... { Sent from my iPhone }
This is old but a hilarious video. I wonder where they are driving? { Sent from my iPhone }
The boy is working on his latest animation. He's now doing all the work himself, including taking the photos and editing in iMovie. Finished video to come.
Here's a few videos of him shooting the bloopers. The first one cracks me up in the end since he gets all annoyed that I'm filming behind the scenes, LOL.
Typo confirmed. The destination date has been updated to Sept 27th instead of Aug 27th so those two dates were not transposed. If it gets into Oxnard on Sept 27th, hopefully it doesn't spend too much time in customs and I will be able to get it before October. From the looks of it, the Polaris Leader is en route to Beirut now. At least my speculation can now be put to rest as the questions surrounding the dates are now gone. I should not track this daily since it will drive me up the wall, but I'll probably do it anyway. I don't plan on writing about it though. The next post about this won't be until a major milestone is hit...probably when the car gets put on the Polaris and leaves Bremerhaven.
This is from the website DigitalSeas which is one of two sites I'm using to track progress. The other site is VesselTracker which did report a similar position a couple days ago on the Red Sea but I wasn't sure it was accurate. At the time, DigitalSeas was unable to report a position, but now that both sites have indicated similar things, I guess I'll go with it. Ironically, when one can report a position, the other can't. Good thing I have both sites available :D
At this point, the car is not on the vessel yet. According to the shipping company, it will be on by Sept 4th. *sigh* I still keep hoping the dates were flopped and it will be on Aug. 27th but that's wishful thinking. Right now, I'm not expecting to get the car until October.
