It sounds like a whole bunch of us will be receiving our vans at about the same time.

 

[Smiffy4bikes]

Yay!! Thats great news

 

[Wrinkly Ninja]

There seems to be quite a few of us that are showing built and "awaiting shipment".

Blimey, I hope the seas are fair

 

[Wrinkly Ninja]

Good news at last for you. Hope it arrives in time for March registration.

Its a big boat - Your Cali should be below decks I would think, so should be OK.

F8 gusting F9 with 4m waves at the moment. Probably worth waiting another 24hrs before shipping them!!

I wonder why my mind chooses this image to focus on at 3am?!

Could that be a my Cali in the middle? From the Hoegh Osaka....

Wow, that's a bit bumpy. I've sailed the North Sea in a passenger boat in a F9 (not nice!!) so I'm guessing they will still sail in those conditions. This one is on its way to Bristol. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...4078/mmsi:352732000/vessel:CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY
Ha! Called the California Highway!

Or this one to Sheerness? http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...mo:9407677/mmsi:563835000/vessel:CITY OF OSLO

This one on the way to Grimsby. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais.../imo:9386225/mmsi:309586000/vessel:NORDIC ACE

Ha, that's brilliant! How much extra do we have to pay to have it shipped on the California Highway?!

 

[Jabberwocky]

No Cali's in sight on this video from Japan.

Have they given you an estimate as to what February that will be?

No, and I never thought to ask!

Columbia Highway is currently docked at Emden. Here's a couple of photos of it at the VW loading ramp in Emden taken in March 2015.

I am pretty sure that the below Google Earth image shows the same ship or a sister ship docked at the same VW loading ramp.

Edit!!!! Don't know my Columbia's from my California's!!!!

Coming to Avonmouth then. Massive car pound I pass when I use the Bristol to Portishead cycle path.
Direct access from the CC site in central Bristol. All off road under the Clifton Suspension Bridge to Portishead.
It's also the start of the 101k Tasty Cheddar Audax.
Great ride.
I'll shut up now.....

Good luck with your Cali's

So my van arrives at the dealers 26 Feb and I go on holiday to the Caribbean for two weeks on the 27th. Two weeks for them to prep it and something to look forward to after the holiday AND get to have it registered and take delivery before the 1st April ved increase. This is a dream; right? Someone pinch me and wake me up!
