Default My Ship Sails 11/16/2014!!

Entered my VIN at the W&W website today and my car arrived at the Southhampton terminal yesterday. Scheduled to leave on the "Honor" on 11/16 and arrive in Brunswick, GA on 12/01. So I may have it a week early!!!!

What website do I use to physically track the ship?

Congrats!! I know you are so happy to see progress, I know I was.
Mine is on the Elektra which is now crossing the English Channel. 😎

Hopefully mine will be on the same ship unless W&W destroyed it by mistake yesterday.

I told you your car would be early!

This is really obsessive! I assume everyone here has a few bucks or they wouldn't be buying these cars. I also assume you already have a nice car or 2 to drive while waiting. And I assume this is not the last car you'll be buying, there is always something new. I wonder what would happen if one of you guys had to wait 3 years for a Ferrari to arrive , if you are elgible to buy one.

You would get a Lamborghini or McLaren while you're waiting. It's like those women you date before you meet THE ONE.

Bad analogy in retrospect.

Are you saying our tracking the ship our F-Type on is obsessive or that keeping close tabs on the production process is obsessive?

You are correct in your assumptions. Speaking for myself, I do have a few bucks, I do have 2 nice cars in the garage (2012 Jag XF 2013 Jag XK) this will not be the last car I buy and there will be something new.
I would not order a Ferrari and if I had to wait three years for a car I did order I would be just as **** as I am about my F-Type build. The only difference is I would be just as **** for 2 years 8 months longer.

Nice to see honesty, I'd have to get a car I'd name the in between.

It's this approach to life that gets you money in the bank and a double garage full of fun cars.

I did the paupers version when I bought my last iphone and tracked it from the factory to my door. Only took a week mind, but the principle is the same...

It looks like our cars may be shipmates.

It's on the Honor. I may try to see if one of my friends who is in the shipping business can get a picture of our cars.

W&W shows my car was loaded at 15:07. Just glad to be on board at this point. After watching the YouTube video of how tightly the cars are packed together I feel slightly quesy and we haven't even set sail yet.
