Maybe they had some inventory cars built with a tow bar or maybe somebody gave up waiting and canceled a car that matched your order. I 16th Jan and was told Mid-Feb delivery. Lets see....The Glovis Cosmos is now on the way through the Panama canal

Did you also notice how every spec had the same delivery estimate? As mentioned, take delivery estimates with a pinch of salt. The reason some people have waited months is because they ordered a spec that wasn’t/hasn’t been shipped from the US for a while.

Yes the Netherlands got most as their tax break was ending
The good news this morning is that the GLOVIS COSMOS was not kept waiting and as forecast started her transit in the small hours this morning. At the moment she is in Gatun Lake and in about 4 hours she will have cleared the Gatun locks and be in the Caribbean. At that time we will get an estimated time of arrival for Zeebrugge.
The GLOVIS SIGMA continues to load at Pier 80 and is scheduled to depart, destination not yet confirmed, on the evening of Tue 29th. This times nicely with the scheduled arrival of the GRAND MARK.
BROOKLANDS meanwhile was waiting for some pier space to free up at the port of Balboa where it is currently alongside. Hopefully she will start her journey northward very soon.

There are 2 ships enroute to Zeebrugge at the moment, the Cosmos and the Challenge. They are a week apart. The ETA for Cosmos will posted on here later today but will be around 8 Feb.
Yep Brixham.
BUT don't get your hopes up - this is a standard waypoint for the route. The Cosmos will pick up a Channel pilot off Brixham and then continue to Zeebrugge. ETA Zeebrugge should be late on 8 Feb.

I'm not called Mr Miserable for nothing!
Meanwhile, at the other end of the canal, BROOKLANDS has updated its destination to San Diego with an ETA of 3 Feb. That's a day or so later than initially planned which may delay its arrival at Pier 80. It's a monster of a ship, 7500 vehicles, and so will take a while to load if it's going to be filled to capacity. I still reckon it's coming to EU.

I never thought I’d buy an American car
The GLOVIS COSMOS has now updated its destination to Zeebrugge with an ETA of 19:00 8 Feb. It will still route via Brixham though.
Interestingly, (for some) it has set a more easterly course to pass into the N Atlantic abeam Puerto Rico probably to avoid the forecast deep depression forming off the eastern seaboard of the USA next week. Apart from that the weather enroute looks OK.

Me neither.
However in 2014 I bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.
It was a magnificent car! I kept it for 4 years and loved driving it. Fuel economy from the 6.4 litre V8 engine was not something we talked about, nor the cost of insurance, nor the servicing (which actually wasn't too bad, just too frequent).
Comfortable, reliable and fun to drive.
My Model 3 ticks those boxes too but I am quite happy to talk about economy, insurance and servicing costs now!
