That's great! Hopefully the wait won't be long Insanity is definitely going to start kicking in.

I'm only a few days away too, but due to it being the week of thanksgiving, odds are I'll have to wait until after, as will all of us Manon chumps in the NY/NJ area.

I may just head over to the VDC in NJ and "stalk" my car

Okay y'all, I have what is probably a dumb question. Here it is - I'm a mac, and I know that the WW site doesn't work with Safari. Has anybody read, or does anybody know, if it works with Firefox? It seems to be working, I mean I just get a "No record found" message - in big unhappy bold red letters, of all colors. Wondering if that's what the peecees out there are getting. I don't have access to one to check... Anybody?
Fiona from Fiona Glenanne on Burn Notice. One little bad a** girl and one little bad a** car My wifes car and she named it. I had to admit that I felt it was a good name too

The wait is brutal. I am driving my company van until my Clubman JCW gets here. Although, I had a friend that was moving into their new home this weekend. He borrowed the van and loaned me his 2008 BMW M5. Pretty good trade.

Let us know how quickly you get it, I'm wondering what the turnaround is from the NYC/NJ port

Tomar is scheduled to be cruising through the Panama Canal during the morning of the 20th. I expect to get my Clubman JCW between Dec. 5th and 7th. Oh, the wait......

I went with the chrome. Was 100% sure about it at first, and now I'm not so sure. I hope it's sleek and not tacky! Either way, I confirmed with my MA that I do get the one that was painted with my car, so I could always swap it out if I don't like it.

Oh, I got chrome driving lights too. Pretty excited about those!

I can't stand the waiting!

I know, I know... I'll have so many quality days of driving that another week shouldn't bother me. But if I can't pick-up my MINI by next Tuesday, I won't be able to until December 1. Stoopid holiday interfering with my motoring...

I can't wait anymore either. I guess I can only hope to get it this weekend. I seriously doubt it after the Fedora was delayed a day and with the weekend coming. Oh well

December 1st? Ohhhh that would stink!!!!!!!!

Tomar traveling through PC 11/19 headed toward Port Hueneme

Panama Canal Atlantic side arrival schedule
It is arranged by ETA times. On the right are two columns. One is labeled, "First Lock Time," and, "Depart Last Lock." You can use this information to narrow down the time you can expect to see your ship on the lock webcams.

http://www.pancanal.com/evtms-rpts/agents/SY5700RP.pdf

Page 8 on report generated 11/18/09 - First lock 8:45.

Looks like Tomar is a day AHEAD of schedule!

Thanks for this info!! Very helpful, and so far it appears to be more accurate than any other source. The Tomar is just now finishing its pass through the Gatun lock, slightly late but no biggie in terms of oceanic distances. At least, I think it was the Tomar -- I couldn't read the ship name but in every other respect it looks exactly like the pics of the Tomar. I'd be very surprised if it was any other ship.
