Rats! Missed the boat
Well the new MCSDT BRG/G rolled out of the factory, but ended up assigned to the AIDA for the pond crossing. #9 on the list (the car with the VIN just 1 lower than me is #1). AIDA doesn't leave Southampton until August 1st
Maybye I'll get lucky and they'll find room on an earlier boat.. Like LIBERTY or UNDINE that leave tomorrow?!

The tracking system didn't show the changes and the car arrived early...

In the meantime... happily motoring in the '04 MCS PW/B until the new one is ready.

As mentioned elsewhere, you can track to your hearts content (and whatever level of anxiety fits your style) through the WW site (genreally) the Coast Guard, etc...

Or have I been looking at the wrong region? because it doesn't show up here:
