If it's on a boat in the North Pacific ocean on its way to Panama it looks like it may be heading back to Europe!

I did the same 16 months ago when I tracked my Focus sport all the way from Europe. It's a great app where you can see just where your car is, even part way through the Panama Canal. Mine came on the "Parsifal" on it's maiden voyage. Not so long ago the same ship picked up boat people trying to get to Aus.

Yeah it's pretty cool. Did it also feel like it took forever?

My Focus came on the ro/ro ship called the MV Tomar in Feb.2012. I think the German build ones get loaded at Breemerhaven and comes down to Australia via Durban SA. then to Perth,Melbourne, Sydney, Brissy. I used to track it on Marinetraffic as well. I still track that ship. Tomar is due back in Melbourne today.
