Cool 9/27 Production Date... and holding

Well, my 9/27 production date has held for 2 weeks now. With earlier dates slipping, I was wondering if I'm lucky or the slipping has stopped...

'03 LY/BK Premium/Sport (on order)
'96 Chevy Impala SS (4 sale)

Being all East Coasters, what time frame do you think we are looking at? Best case scenario 10/18? More than likely Halloween?

You can keep track of the ships departure/arrival dates at

http://www.wlna.com/vesselSchedule/schedules/eurin.XLS

You need to find a ship that coming to your port, then find a departure date after your production date on the Southampton line.
The form is only updated every Thursday, and is not very far out, so it's hard to tell when our ship might come in.

I've already looked there, they don't seem to have anything yet that jives. It looks like they all seem to be in and around So'ton on a Saturday, so we may be looking at a 10/5 or 10/6 departure date. Unless it's possible they can have it on a ship by 9/28, which would be fine by me....

did anyone get a vin yet?

What can I say

other than September build owners are just full to the rim with class.

I also like the fact that IB is a chameleon color, Bright and Shiny in direct light, dark and moody in low light. And always stunning...

Don't hate me because I'm not IB.

Here's the info on Production

[quote]Originally posted by jlivingood
[b]Status 150 - Parts Pulled, Getting Ready for Production
Status 151 - Body Shop
Status 152 - Paint Shop
Status 153 - Assembly
Status 155 - Car Being Built
Status 160 - Cleared QC and Released to Distribution
Status 182 - Waiting for Train
Status 190 - Taking Train to Port
Status 193 - In Port, Loaded on the Ship

Common Production Intervals?*
150 -> 151 = 4-5 days
151 -> 152 = 1 day
152 -> 153 = 3 days
153 -> 155 = 1 day
155 -> 160 = 1 day
160 -> 182, 190, 193 = 1 - 2 days
Parts Pulled --> On a Ship = 11 - 13 days

Looks like anyone with a VIN is on target to be out by the end of next week
