Bracknall - interesting place with lots of roundabouts - I used to live not far away at Wentworth Golf Course in Virginia Water.
Forgot to mention Dutch man in the U.K., I ordered Obsidian Black as well. According to my latest information it's still setting on the dock. Yes there are a lot of roundabouts. Always confused me. And, you're not a commoner, you have the best SUV in its classs.

Obsidian black it lovely. Pain in the backside to keep it clean, but worth it. Really sets off the car nicely.

My SA told me the name of the ship, for which I then simply searched. There are many sites that show ship's positions (vesseltracker.com, vesselfinder.com, maritime-connector.com, etc.), so you can find your car that way. But, it is dependent on knowing the name of the ship.
Finally. It's on the Ruby Ace just off Plymouth England. Should be in Long Beach around December 17th. Unless there's an accident in Honduras again.

It left yesterday my Dutch friend. Should be in Long Beach in mid December. I have a GLK black now and it is far easier to keep clean, longer, living here than back in the midwest. Doesn't rain much here. So the Obsidian Black will be great.

Don't know about any accidents--maybe there was a good party The ship hung around there for a couple of days.
It's been kind of fun following the progress of the ship every day or two. It was off of Cabo San Lucas this morning, and it still shows arrival at Long Beach on Sunday. The dealership says they will expedite, since the car is already sold, but I'm expecting about a week until we take delivery.
Good luck with the Ruby Ace!
