Don Carlos Underway

rmorin49 · 02-11-2010, 10:28 AM

After over 600 hours moored in Bremerhaven, the Don Carlos is finally underway and my car is somewhere among the hundreds of cars on this ship. ETA in NJ is 24 Feb.

Swedish flagged RORO ship with hundreds of BMWs, maybe some Volvos as the next port is Gotenburg, not sure if it will stop in Southampton to pick up any MINIs. ETA in NJ is 24 Feb but likely will be late as it was a day late leaving Bremerhaven.

No problemo. Wife will probably name the Z, Snowflake, after what has happened here in the mid-Atlantic over the last week or so.

I think this poor Z4 was called "Snowflake" as well.
Thank God this person did not place a "stubby" antenna on this car otherwise you'd never find it again.
