Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    That only happens on our boat. All the other ones just put blocks of foam between the cars and leave the handbrake off so they can roll back and forth with the waves hehe

      • For anyone who's car is on the Faust there actually a documentary about it (yes I know very sad that I would be searching about the ship my car is travelling on). Apparently its the largest car carrier in the world.

        Episode 0, Season 1 : Mv Faust - Mighty Ships

        For those who aren't on board....Mine's bigger than your's

            Even sadder, I googled it for 30 seconds:

            The capacity of the ship is for nearly 8000 cars
            Jesus, there could be 8000 Golf Rs on that thing!

              • Only 8000 cars on the Faust. LAME

                I actually watched one of those Mighty Ships documentaries last week on the Emma Maersk. It was pretty good. It doesn't appear that anyone captured the documentary on the Faust though. No luck on youtube either.

                      I don't have a recording, but i did see it.
                      They said it's the ship of choice for the premium vehicles
                      Definately worth a watch, especially if your car is on it.

                        The MV Faust and the Morning Camilla (as with the 10+ other "Morning Cxxxxxxxxxx" ships are all based around the same design (or are the identicle design?)....

                              • Watched the Mighty Ships Faust episode last night and wow what an amazing ship. Really interesting insight into the complexities involved in transporting so many cars across vast ocean and in volatile weather conditions. At the end of the day the cargo really is in the best hands possible, they go to great lengths to make sure everything makes it without a scratch to the delivery ports.
