Default Boat Delayed...

For all RS and GT3 waiters with cars on the boat RYUJIN which was scheduled to dock in Baltimore on 2/27 and then travel to San Diego...now has an ETA of 3/1 in Baltimore. I'm told there are 7 RS and 22 GT3 on board.

Waiting sucks!

Ours must be one of the seven. The original ETA in Baltimore was Feb 9 for the second boat to the USA! Our RS was built week of Jan 8th. Missed the first boat for some special paint. Now the third boat is in the USA!

Oh well, 18 inches of snow yesterday and today. Anticipation...

Does this boat contain cars bound for New Jersey? Mine was finished the 2nd of February. Can anyone tell me what ship it's on and when it is expected to get to Jersey?

Damn, my GT3 is on the Ryujin.

Any idea why the Ryujin is delayed? Is this info from your dealer or are you tracking the ships passage?

Call your dealer, they can tell you what boat your car is on and you will know for sure.

Call your dealer they can tell you what boat your car is on and when it is due in port and estimate from there when it might arrive at their door.

Here is the San Diego Log - Due in 3/10. There should be something similar for your port. Good luck with your wait! Mine is on Bellona - Due 3/14 in SD. Thanks MJones for your help in getting this information!

man, can i just tell them i'll pick mine up on the east coast when the time comes for them to ship it. I would rather drive it back to socal hitting half a dozen tracks along the way. that wait is long enough w/o waiting for the boat to go through the panama canal!

My Long Island bound GT3 is on that boat. Seems all recent allocations for the northeast are on it.

My dealer told me the same news two days ago. I have one of the GT3s on board. What a pain!

Jeff,

That is just cruel! I hope that is a photo shop or our fellow members with cars on board will go crazy with what if's! They won't be able to sleep.

Please come clean where are the photos from.
