Default Equuleus Leader - who's on board?

Heard some great news from my dealer today: my car arrived in Emden on 1/23, and with luck made it onto the Equuleus Leader on 1/28. The ship seems to just be sitting at a port in Bremerhaven as of 1/31. Not knowing any better, I've just been tracking it using the VesselFinder website:

http://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/...MMSI-371426000

ETA at the port in San Diego is 2/25 according to the VW logistics boat schedule sheet.

So who else made it on Equuleus Leader??

Sounds like your odds are good! I hope there are a few of us on this ship at least. Seems awfully quiet in this thread.

Glad to have some company!

This ship is really taking its sweet time. It's stopped at another port in Germany, one in Belgium, and now it's on its way to Great Britain.

I'm on this boat as well. My dealer said ETA is Feb 28. It's definitely taking its sweet time!

I still cannot believe it. My GT3 is almost here.

I started looking for one last 12/2013 but only got an allocation October 2014.

Looking back, its a long wait so Feb. 28 is just around the corner.

that'd be super lucky (I guess because you're in SoCal). My boat left 2 weeks ago and my delivery date says 2/27.
