Oh and my mods. I guess it's time to post up some pics on all my mods that are waiting. Only have two left that are on the way. Well of what I can order at least.

Try...

www.vesseltracker.com
www.marinetraffic.com
www.digital-seas.com

...and...

iss-shipping.com/NewsSearchResults.aspx?countryid=3

On this last one look for something like "Panama Canal Daily Information Sheet Planned -Mar. 26, 2010". The link will take you to a page with a link to a PDF with the planned transits for that day. It doesn't come out with much lead time but it's confirmation that your ship is set up for a transit.

Yeah, the transits seem to be made in the general order of the vessels listed. Also it seems that Northbounds go followed by Southbounds. But don't take it on faith, keep watch.

Northern NJ, Wayne - About 20min west of NYC, Rte->Rte46. I guess our rides will be sharing some waves on the way over - very cool

My status changed to "enroute" this morning. Now I have to track down the ship it's riding.


Edit: I have to be on the Elektra too.

I think my E90 is on the same boat. Performance center delivery scheduled for April 30 and the website just changed to enroute. The Elektra is due in Charleston April 13.

The PC is only 1.5 hours from my house so it was a no brainer. They basically sold me an M3 as I wasn't thinking too much about BMW's or performance cars for that matter until I did some corporate events there and at VIR.
