Anyone on Cepheus Leader?

Ya. I can't wait! My CA told me that if the car is one if the first out then it might be at the dealership in 1-2 days

I wait updates for my car too.

There is a chance that the ship will stop in San Diego before Port Hueneme. I don't think that it will be 5+ sailing days behind the FIDELIO, which has already departed for Tacoma.

In looking at the ports that the CEPHEUS LEADER stopped at in Europe and the amount of time spent at each, I my bet is that it will be in San Diego in the next day, spend 8 hours in port, then sail on to Port Hueneme arriving on the 24th...which would be on-schedule. Keep in mind that it left Bremerhaven 3 days late

All of the non-ED cars have it pretty easy...all clear customs on the boat and the VDC can process up to 600 cars per day. ED cars are a completely different story. All have to be inspected and then they clear and move on to the VDC. In the case of my car, it will have its oil pump replaced while there before heading to the dealer.

Fingers crossed for fast customs agent(s) and expedited VDC processing

Wow... Thanks for the info I just wanna wait at the port and hop in my car when it arrives!!!

LOL...you and me both.

LOL... I'm just waiting for my CA to say... "Hey! Your car is here!"

The CEPHEUS LEADER is back in-range. Off the coast of Baja, headed to San Diego:

Sweet!!!!! It's getting closer!!

nice! well it updated again.
its passing cedros islands

Nice!!! Go Cepheus Leader Go!

Hurry Please...Gwaar!!!

Haha! I know... tredeirtyfive... what did you get?

nice we're in San Diego!
please post when you guys get the call from your CAs!

Nice!!!! I talked to my CA... He's hoping it will be at the dealership by the 30th. That's after all the extra goodies are installed

Woo Hoo! Finally. Seemed like an eternity to get to this point. Few more hours, and then hopefully on its way to Port Hueneme

Yes!!!! It's soooooooo close!!

It's here!!! Wishing to have my new alpine white 335i M Sport by my birthday! (Sunday) Let's all hope customs clears fast and they head on to the dealerships... Today!

Don't want to burst your bubble...but I am quite sure that the CEPHEUS LEADER still needs to make its way to Port Hueneme. Once there, the car will be offloaded and go through the VDC and then shipped to your dealer. I think 4 days is a little optimistic.

It will be with you soon though

According to http://www.sdmis.org/schedule/
Cepheus Leader arrived at the San Diego port last night 10/23 @ 19:20 and will head out to Port Hueneme today.

Saweet!!! Thanks for the URL. Hoping it departs out on-time

Fantastic!!! Let's go Cepheus Leader!!!

@Danielle.rae: Hope you get your bday present soon!!!

I am so annoyed. Its still in San Diego. Has not departed. Just lost another day.

Why!!!!!!!

the schedule Daniele posted has the ship leaving SD @ 4:30pm

Soon my friend... It will be here soon.

The Port Hueneme site hasn't updated their schedule since 10/4 and it's still saying arrival on 10/25: http://www.portofhueneme.org/documen...l_schedule.pdf

Just 150mi or so to go...

...and we're off! http://www.fleetmon.com/en/vessels/Cepheus_Leader_28605 is reporting ETA to Port Hueneme is 7 hours.
