(Waiting for) My new bus!

  1. Going a bit mad now waiting for my new camper to arrive. I don't know where it is or when it's going to arrive. I'm driving my girlfriend mad going on about it. It's somewhere between the USA and here, that's all I know. I must have looked at the pictures of it about a thousand time. Here's another pic, just because...

  2. Patience my dear boy, it will be worth it. I only waited 3 1/2 months for mine !
    I looked at this/your bus when it came up and was sorely tempted but I guess my bits weren't big enough to splash out the money to someone I never met and for a van I have never seen. Though the seller clearly has a good rep. Credit to you for being brave.
    It won't be long.
     
  3. Thanks Lofty - it was a scary move - but it 'felt' like the one, so I went for it (with the help of a few glasses of wine). Hopefully I won't regret it! You're new camper looks awesome and they look quite similar, both with original interiors. You're photos did nothing for my patience!! ;D
     
  4. Patience? I bet your going quit MAD by now! :arrggh:
    Kinda like X-mas waiting to open presents!
     
  5. Getting just a little bit concerned now. Can't get an approx delivery date from shipping company, now they're not answering my emails. Have emailed seller over a week ago and no response, and have emailed shipping company guy in USA and no response. Will try ringing them all next week.

    I'm probably worrying too much, but hard not to when you've just parted with that much cash.

    I'm sure all will be fine... positive thoughts...
     
  6. Fingers are crossed for you, but am sure it will all be fine. It is just cruising across the Atlantic.
     
  7. keep positive fella :)

    who did you use to ship? have they actually recieved it at the u.s docks? from the day mine got loaded i heard nowt for 6 weeks so i feel your pain, once i paid for mine the guy stuck it on the transport to the docks in los angeles and told me it was no longer his problem - i was crapping it.

    i just read your thread through - mate if you had been on the forum last feb onwards when i joined the thread i had about my bus coming ran to 36 pages of complete nonsense of me sooooo excited and getting on everyone's nerves lol - shame it was lost when the server crashed, i drove everyone INSANE - the phrase of the year was "is it here yet"? i reckon your mrs has got off lightly - when the van arrives she will become the latest vw widow.
     
  10. Thanks Ricky, I have wanted to post more but didn't want to get on everyone's nerves! Good to know I'm not the only one to go through it.

    I can't find out when it left the docks. If I knew that at least I could work out a 2-3 week window as to when it might arrive!
     
  11. It's being shipped by Steve Mason California Connections

    i had the same sort of problem, mine left the seller april 4 2011 he sent a pic and said your on your own now, i had an e-mail addy for the american dock - they never replied, i rang the u.k shippers a few times they said it was on the ship then may the 26th i got a call saying it docks tomorrow...... so i wouldn't worry too much - although i did know the ship name and tracked it over the atlantic on a ship tracking website... i'm a sad git

  16. Fingers crossed for you and watching with interest ;)
     
  17. :crossed Stay positive fella I'm sure everything is OK. When you want something badly every hour can be painful ! If I remember, the bus was coming from someone that was known on here. Perhaps someone from TLB who knows the guy could maybe help by sending a PM to him ?
     
  18. Yeah I know what you mean - need to try and stop thinking about it! I'm just being a bit impatient, and I'm a general worrier anyway! I think the seller may have gone on holiday as he hasn't logged into TLB for a while
