vesselfinder is another good site.....you can zoom in on the satellite photos and see the Porsche's sitting at the dock in Emden.

So I wasn't on the BESS. That is the bad news. The good news, I was already in port and the car was just delivered to the dealership! Won't be able to pick it up until Black Friday, but that works for me. Don't know how I will sleep Thursday night, guess I will have to eat more to put me in a food coma.

Not yet offloaded. Maybe waiting for an opening or traveling there today. Maybe like waiting for a gate to open up at an airport after arrival? Getting paperwork from PA dealer Monday to finalize/facilitate transport to Seattle/Tacoma area by enclosed carrier for courtesy delivery by Porsche of Tacoma. (the dealership that Russell Wilson advertises for: Go Hawks!)

I'll be certain to post some pics as soon as I can. There must be a handful of other gt3s on board with buckets I assume.

Could probably count those with LWB on one hand. Be the first to post pics and your thoughts. "One small seat for man.......one giant seat for Porschekind".

I had the Carrera gt seats in my RS (sold) and have carbon bucket seats in my spyder. I'll try to do a comparison with all three once my gt3 arrives.
