I just found out that my baby boarded the ship on 1/19/06 (which is odd since it was built 12/22/05).

I'm officially ONVESL!!!!

I've been waiting since 10/17/05, so I'm very excited about the thought of finally having my car around 2/14/06 - 2/19/06 (according to the salesperson).

Awwright Ron!

May your ship stay away from the icebergs and arrive safely with your precious cargo onboard!

 

Thanks!

 

Congrats! Hope the next four weeks goes by fast though I expect it will crawl for you. Nice specs and nice color! Can't wait for pics!

 

Great News - click me Ron.

 

Ron:

I will be promoted from head waiter to owner in 1 week or less and I think your credentials speak for themselves. If you want the job in a week it's yours.

Also, I am off the boat now and the on vesl avatar is not beeing used at the moment. If you would like to use it shoot Brother Ben a PM or reply here and I am sure you will be hooked up with the avatar.

IMO, the avatar and the title Head Waiter both carry a certain something with them and a certain honor is attached.

Congrats!!!!!!

 

Thanks guys, it has been a long wait and I appreciate all of your help with the questions I've asked along the way. I can't wait for the big day to get here!

Thanks for the wav Dave - that cracked me up. I can't wait to join the Sh*t eating grin club!

 

HI, excuse me,...are you the head waiter? Could I please have a corner booth?

 

Ha, ah - I bet you've been waiting for a while to use that one!

 

Ron you have about 14 days till you are driving her home. Post all kinds of pics. When I drove my baby home I think I posted pics for a week. I took ever picture imaginable. After waiting for almost six months for my racing machine I couldn't help myself. Good luck. Your time at being a waiter is almost over.

Thanks!

I'm on the West Coast, so my car will arrive in San Diego and then need to take a long COVERED truck ride to Bellingham, WA (a stones throw from Canada). It typically takes 25 - 30 days for it to arrive from the time it gets on the boat from what the dealer says.

I think the 14 is typical for the East Coast because there's no hassling with the Panama Canal. and a shorter drive from the port to your dealership.

I will definiltely be posting lots of pics!

 

Whoohoo I'm wearing the ONVESL Avitar with pride - thanks OCBen (and 996toomey)

 

Looks good on you enjoy it.

I can not officially pass the head waiter title to you until I am A.I.S.

Thats from the Ray Romano sitcom.

 

A.I.S. = *** In Saddle???

 

Very good Ben. It was actually *** in seat. Very funny had to do with his wife always being late and making him wait so he says 7:30 P.M. AIS or I am leaving without you.
