I'm going to put a post together as the "ad-hoc" satellite tracking for $3 a pop seems to be published nowhere!
Sgroer: Would be great to understand how you got the one-off $3 AIS tracking. I can't seem to find that option on the Marinetraffic.com website (only monthly subcriptions for mucho $). My ship left the English Channel 24 hours ago and is out of terrestrial range and I'm curious about it. Thanks for sharing.

Yes - My Dealer said it was really fast. I'm hoping it's because they've had some other GT3's sitting at port awaiting a full truck. All 100% guesses at this point. I am so anxious to get the email that it's on a truck and en route.

How were you able to find out it cleared inspection?
You seem to be very adept at extracting info (ex CIA?), so are there any suggestions you can pass along to the rest of us "civilians" to track status once the car is at port?
Thanks!

Ex CIA - no way man - I'm not that cool ;-) I have gotten really good at the ship tracking. The rest is all about your dealer - they know a lot, but some aren't passionate enough to get all the info to their customers.

I would be so thrilled if that were the case. Car has cleared everything and is just waiting for a truck. I guess technically it leaves brunswick tomorrow? Please?

Allan... Do you know something I don't with all your connections at Hennessy? ;-)
