GRAND MARK now just below the Isle of Wight, chugging along nicely. Assuming Southampton stop next, that is going to be some unload with CHALLENGE + these extra RHD vehicles.
More spies needed for Southampton soon !

It's going to Zee first where it will collect the M3s left by the CHALLENGE, then off to Southampton

Wife : “Come on we need to go to the shops”
Me : “ALRIGHT, JUST WATCHING HOW SHIPS GO THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL”
Wife : *sigh*
Not strictly true.... A ship can carry boats but a boat cannot carry a ship.
Is that right? Lol someone told me a ship is something large enough to carry a boat and a boat is something small enough to be carried by a ship!

Ordered my M3LR on 12 Feb...any suggestions how long it can be before VIN matching or delivery?
Interesting documentary - a little over dramatic perhaps. What it said about the competition is true but the Suez isn't its major threat. Climate change has made the NW passage (going over the top of Canada) a likely future route connecting the Far East with Europe and additionally there has been the threat of a rival canal to the north cutting through Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Everytime the Panama Canal increases its prices (it has a team of economists and financial geeks working out the maximum they can safely extract in fees and charges) it makes the alternatives more viable. The current water shortage in the Canal is becoming a crisis for the canal authorities. It has reduced the number of ships that can transit daily but it has had to increase the fees to counter the reduced income. The alternatives are being closely examined...
but i'm not in the Navy.
It reminds me of a true story. A soldier was on guard at the entrance of a barracks when a naval officer turned up. After examining his ID he opened the barrier to let him in without saluting.
"Don't you salute Lt Comd's in the Army?" he asked.
"We don't have Lt Comds in the Army" said the soldier.
7 days jail for giving everybody a laugh.

The GLOVIS CAPTAIN is currently due (according to Mr M.) to leave Pier 80 in San Francisco tomorrow (23 Feb). VINs seem to appear a day or two after departure from SF, so hopefully you will get the hidden VIN Monday or Tuesday next week.

Wife: "Yes. None"
Me: "Check out the posts on this forum."

Hehe I'm a prime example. I have patience when I'm in control. I can take almost a year to perfect a plastic model, but waiting weeks in the dark is infuriating for me.
