So the Grand Legacy has just left Emden for the west coast of the US. Anyone know they are on this boat? Pretty sure I am not. :-(
The Glovis Supreme is now in Bremerhaven, headed to Emden, and is the next vessel headed to the west coast of the US. But unless it's going to sit there for a long time, its dates don't seem to align with my May 27th delivery date. Antares Leader appears to have been scratched so it's anyone's guess what's after the Glovis Supreme.

Thank you, I had that but was wondering if anyone had a subscription in order to provide current position.
Once it hit Halifax it still a painful wait. I am in Toronto, car landed March 7, released for transport March 15 and I am still waiting for it to show up at my dealership.
Pushing the LIKE button doesn't do this beauty justice. Need a Love It button.
Love the contrast from the stitching, door pulls, and steering wheel center position stripe.
Not that I'm partial in any way --- being our specs (and region) are pretty darn close to each other.
Perhaps I'll see you at a Riesentoter PCA function one day soon.
My SB GT4 is scheduled for April 8 arrival Port of Balt, then perhaps within two weeks your GT4's fraternal twin will be out there with you!
Thanks! Yeah the spec turned out great! Excited to see yours!
This link to a rarely seen video (20 views) is for anyone whose car will arrive into the United States and have a first point-of-rest in the Port of Baltimore facility at Sparrow's Point.
Evidently, VW group opened this comparatively new facility on the grounds of the previous Bethlehem Steel Plant -- largest in the world at one point.
Looks like a compilation of B-roll for the announced opening

What is your TYD date for on vessel? Mine is showing 4/8. It's on a truck heading to the port now. Stopped outside of Düsseldorf over night.
Not to be a wet blanket but things at the port are not moving along as quickly as you might like. I've been there since March 21st and my dates just got pushed back by two weeks. I'm likely not getting on the boat that's sitting in Emden right now (Grand Legacy) and headed for the west coast, and I'm hoping beyond hope that I do get on the next one (Glovis Supreme).
But the bottom line is that I made it into production by the skin of my teeth (according to that widely circulated memo) and I'm happy my car is built and built according to my spec. Didn't have to delete anything. And I guess an additional two weeks to sell my C8 isn't such a bad thing. They ain't flying off the shelves like the interweb might lead you to believe they are.
Have you thought about carsandbids.com for selling your C8? I don't know the first thing about selling a car online, but according to Doug DeMuro, people do quite well selling their cars on carsandbids.com.

I recently sold my M4, and the way I actually sold it was like this. I went onto eBay motors and looked up my model year car for sale and found dealers selling the car for above what I wanted to sell it for, with the thought process that they would then pay me what I wanted for it and mark it up to that price. I called those dealerships and said “want to buy another one?” I called 3 in one day dealerships and received 2 offers, sold to 1. The dealer I ended up selling to was located in Chicago so they came to my house and picked it up. The other offer was from an Aston Martin dealership in Boston who was going to have the car shipped. Best of luck my friend.
I had my car listed here, Bimmerpost, and cargurus for about a week prior to that with no luck on the price I wanted.
As for your Spyder, I hope it gets on the next boat. It must be agonizing to have it done and ready to rock and roll but not going anywhere. Like a wrapped gift under the Christmas tree.
