Default It's on a boat in the English Channel.....

My dealer sent me a link today. The link gives details about the boat that my car is on and another link to a live map showing where the boat is.

My S4 is on a boat which is currently sailing down the English Channel (left Bremen yesterday). According to the itinerary, it's due to arrive in Brunswick, NJ on 10/22. The official word from Audi is still week of 11/9 at the dealer, but it looks like it'll beat that date by at least a week.

Currently, it looks like it's going to stop in Brixham, UK on it's way.

That's cool. I wish I was able to track mine. When I ordered my BMW, I was able to track it.

I was hoping that somebody might pick up on my subject line and see the connection. Good to know you can count on Audiworlders.
