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!

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?

ronmart

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.

OCBen

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.
