Default It's almost here!! Glorious Ace

My car went ONVESL Monday June 13, and it's scheduled ETA in Halifax harbour aboard the Glorious Ace at 21:30 this evening!!! It should be there RIGHT frikkin now!!!
Thanks to MJones for the info and OCBen for the heads up direction.

My garage has been very empty these last few weeks... that will very soon be remedied!!!

I know just how you are feeling. Congratulations in advance. The sleeping won't get any easier until you have it in your garage, and maybe not even then!

Whaaaatt!!! Your car went ONVESL two days ago and now it's there this very minute!!!

Either that's erroneous information you got or that Glorious Ace is some kind of speed boat!

Mine went ONVESL June 1st and won't get here til this Sunday, but then again it has to go down the Atlantic Coast, through the Panama Canal, and up along the Pacific Coast to San Diego. It also had a stop in Florida I believe.

I couldn't believe it either, but I reconfirmed the info with MJones as well confirmed with my dealer and the Halifax Port Authority. It seems to be true!!
Check it out on their web site:

Wow, good for you! And how will it get from Halifax to Ottawa, by truck? Did your dealer give you an estimate on when it will finally get to the dealership? What was your build date again?

Yup, car-carrier truck from Halifax to Ottawa. It will probably arrive sometime late next week at my dealer, or early week following. I'm still optimistic it will be in my garage before the end of June.
The Halifax Harbour daily status report has not yet been updated since 9:05 June 15.... Hopefully the ETA was met.
Build date was May 23.

It'll be curious to see who's arrives home first!!

Sounds like a friendly wager to me. You’re on!

I should have mine in my garage by the 24th or the 25th. Yeah, let’s see whose arrives first!

And they're off ... coming down the backstretch ... headin' for home!

Hey 1 Gunner I think my car should also be on that boat as my dealer told me it went onvesl. How can you tell for certain if the vehicle is on the ship Glorious Ace? I'm in Toronto and waiting patiently for my black/sand beige C2 pasm sport chrono car.
