This doesnt seem right--are your cars built in Germany?..if so, they would be boarded from Port Bremerhaven, with a stop in most probably South Hampton UK, then on to the U.S, I dont see why there are Italy/Spain/Mediterranean stops...cant be right..

Because the ship hasn't gotten to Germany yet to get the precious cargo...

No worries, he is just following the ship for it to arrive in Bremerhaven... if it ever will.. the latest reports are that it has so much rust by now, it might be taken out of the water due to lack of seaworthiness

Apparently the world's most interesting man hasn't seen a recent photo of the Oriental Rust Bucket.

ROTFLMAO

Well guys, I'm officially joining the Asian King party!!! I was at the port before the Tortugas left but somehow I missed it!! My status on the phone says I am 'at the port of exit awaiting a shipping vessel'.

If I don't get on the Asian King - I swear I'm getting on a plane, flying to Germany, beating the living hell out of BMWs logistics manager, outfitting my car with a balloon and floating it to California by myself with an oar and a volleyball that keeps me company!!!!

I don't know for sure. The automated system said I was being transported to the port about 7 days before it was scheduled to leave. It switched to at the port of exit about 2 days before if I recall. I assumed that was delayed so if have no chance of missing it -- I was wrong. :|

oh boy, that is not a good sign my car's status just changed to "being transported to the port of exit" - exactly seven days before the Asian King leaves.

If it makes you feel any better svache's car finished production the same day as me and he made the Tortugas. Also, on the Tortugas are several VINs that are after mine. You've got a good shot.

[matt_435xi]

the ASIAN KING is making his way around Spain, only a week until he ports in Bremerhaven.



Thanks svache for the link to this awesome vessel tracking website.
