Definitely. I almost regretted frozen black after seeing yours.

I had Jet Black on my 330 back in 2000 - loved that color

You probably already know this, but if you have two cards in your camera, save one as raw and the other in a small .jpg for easy posting online. Saves a lot of hassle.

I have a D7000, and it will only allow me to use slot 2 if card in slot 1 is full? Is there a work around?

Mine is a Canon 5D MkIII and there are multiple ways to configure. Not familiar with Nikon. Just for the fun of it I took a look at the D7000 and it shows there are three options for the card in slot 2: overflow, backup, and RAW slot 1, JPG slot 2. I know those menus can be very layered and it is sometimes difficult to find out all you'd like to know about how these very complicated still and movie cameras now work!

Thanks, I knew that but I wasn't thinking about posting at that time.

Hey thanks for taking the time to look! I just got this camera for ed so still learning step by step with the manual and some books I bought

They looked a little bit like a dirty wheel, but in a good way.

Haha - I know what you mean. That was my first impression of seeing pics of Mindlessmarks Morr wheels, but like you said in a good way. I picked it bc i wanted some contrast, brushed aluminum looks too white-ish to me at times.

This is the look I was going for, and the picture that sold me on the finish.

Mindlessmarks are darker than the ones you're getting. They're going to look great!

The Toreador just sailed from Southampton bound for Manzanillo, Panama and the Panama Canal.

Katherin confirmed Im on the Boheme, due to arrive in NJ on 4/24. Is it wishful thinking that I could do delivery on the 27th? My dealership is in NJ but from what I read, may take up to 8 days from US arrival.

Stranger things have happened
I'd probably have my mind set to something like 7-10 days and just be
pleasantly surprised if it turns up earlier.
It all depends how busy they are and how they can load up the trucks.
Now if there'd be an option to opt for a direct pickup at the port ...

Yea Im going to say 8 days like the ED thread says, only reason being I want to book my clear bra appointment. I guess Ill book it for May 4th, should be safe enough.

I think it will be almost exactly a year from when my deposit went down!

Im looking at the schedules on Wallenius, if Im reading correctly the voyage from Bremerhaven to NJ appears to be like 2 weeks leaving weekly. I left my car at Welt to be flat bedded out to the port on 3/23 and was told it would be held for only a max of 3 days there.

Does anyone know what happens after it gets to the port in Europe? How long before it gets on the boat? I see carriers leaving on 3/27 arriving 4/8 and 4/5 arriving 4/19. Guess if its not trackable yet my next bet would be 4/5 if im lucky.

Did your car make it onto a boat yet? Mine is right on the same timeframe as yours and have yet to get onto a boat.. So just curious.

Thanks.

Mine is departing 4/11 and will arrive on 4/24

Thanks for that info. I hope mine makes it onto the same boat, BOHEME.

After it unloads in Newark on 04/24, it stops to unload mine (hopefully) in Brunswick, GA on 04/29.

Ok so we will both be rooting for a fast and safe journey for the Boheme, maybe it will get in early. I was joking with my coworkers (since Im Chinese) that Im definitely going to be on the China King vessel at the end of April.
