The 500 is all at sea!



Think that's one of the weirdest places the gps on your 500 will ever tell you were it is, LOL

Turn left and then proceed straight on for three thousand six hundred nautical miles....
That's it on it's way from Liverpool to New York, more updates soon!

Re: The 500 is all at sea!

Should arrive in NY on the 10th of June but then there's the dreaded EPA tests that will cost $250 and then the dock fees at $500...

Jezzes, the american goverment don't make it easy to go on holiday with your 500

Re: The 500 is all at sea!

Oh the 500 is all alone on the ship... Well, other thant he hundreds of other european cars on board!

Heard on the grapevine that its starting some sort of Euro Football cup on the car deck in the evenings to put off the boardom but the German team which is mainly made of of Mercedes-Benz and BMW's is winning at the minute which isn't good



Thats the latest position from this morning....

That's some pretty nifty parcel tracking.. Best I've had before was 'arrived at local depot' then 'out for delivery'
