ORION HIGHWAY - the excitement is building

Who else made it onto this sexy ship Orion and am I the only one watching its every move like its pay-per-view?

My general build info:

Black Saphire Metallic
Fiona Carbon Bucket Seats
Lasers and Shadowline

Destination: M Performance Delivery Center

Here's the schedule if everyone hasn't already found it from other threads:

I am on it, too! And have been following it as intensely as you over the last few days.

Thanks for starting a thread on it. My G80 6MT, Black Sapphire Metallic with Tartufo interior is heading to Baltimore.

I have been following the vessel status on www.vesselfinder.com

How do you guys know if it made it? I'm assuming I didn't given my status is still showing "At the Port", but I know there can be a lag in updates.

Not a problem...we need a thread just like the other guys

I wanna see everyone's delivery pics/timelines. I'm sure you'll see your car weeks before I see mine!

I saw "at port" for about a month. The second it switched to "in-transit" I was able to make an educated guess on which carrier it was on (via the schedule) and then verified it with my sales advisor (genius will know too). My guess is that you're not on it but will be on one soon

Anyone know other ways to track these vessels? At least for Orion Highway, once it went further across the Atlantic, Vessel finder and other trackers are showing it out of range. The location hasn’t updated in over a couple of days.

There are a few tracking websites that have some update on position.

PCD vehicles are all dropped off in Charleston to my understanding and my SA sent me a text that my vehicle "hit ground" in the states last Friday... So by that logic, I think it's safe to assume I was not on Orion (which I am perfectly ok with hahaha)

dross21 did your car arrive? Mine was also on the Orion Highway and I’m in the Indy area, so was hoping I would be on the same truck as you, but nothing for me yet.

Nothing for me yet either. I have been checking like crazy. Arrived at the VPC on the 2nd, seems like nothing happened over the Labor Day weekend, my work order was opened last Tuesday and the car was finally released for carrier assignment last Friday. So I am hoping I make it onto a truck soon.
