Just spoke to my SA: the SFL Composer experienced rough seas during the journey and a number of the cars were damaged. Currently, they don't know which ones, are going through all of them with a fine-tooth comb. So if you were also on the Composer, might want to reach out to your SA.

Well, ****: this is comical. Just heard from my SA. After we thought it had escaped any damage aboard the ship, turns out that's not true. I'm told the cars have been sorted into three categories: green (inspected and fine), blue (damaged, but repairable), and red (totalled). Mine is blue. They are entering a new production order immediately and will expedite with the expectation most in the blue group will want new cars. He's reaching out to his rep to find out exactly what the damage is on mine.

Now 0/2 in ordering Porsches.

I thought that stuff only happened to me. First one sinks to the bottom of the Atlantic and the second one gets tossed around and damaged? You might want to consider a 2021 Corvette C8 Convertible with 1750 miles on it. lol

I might go a different way and just get a horse. Or a jetpack.

Hard to adequately describe how much that sucks. You have all the sympathy I have to give, and then some.

I think it's time for you to inquire about an upgrade to a 4RS with no ADM.


@Todd.Dang3r Would you mind posting another TYD update on Glovis Supreme? For whatever reason TYD is only loading on the top third of the screen on the app and website for me which hides all of the information I want to see. It's been like this for about a week.

@SpyderSenseOC You have an idea of what ship you are getting on now?

Sounds more like a Greek tragedy to me. Hurry up and tell them you ordered a "green" one! Settle for an RS.
Would you mind terribly taking lead on shipping all of Putin's armour across the Black Sea? Help a guy out.
As inspiring as a Panamanian or Liberian registration may be -- there seems to be something just shy of adequate going on in RoRo operations these days.
Wind? What wind. We don't take precautions against THAT.

Best wishes for whatever path you choose.

lol In the best spirit of "everything is about me," I'll assume that is a veiled reference. The thing is, I can't truly attest to the invulnerability of the "green car approach" for another few weeks. Stand by.

Dev - Thanks for the details. I've got a better idea - why don't I road trip it up to you in GTA and do a personal hand-off? I am sure I can make it there faster than the transport truck and will basically get you through the break-in period so that you can fully enjoy it from Day One. Deal?

Interesting comments on seats too - I don't intend to track mine, but I am tall (6'3") and weigh about 210. I'll have to see if I can sit in the 2-ways and 14-ways before I commit. The good news is that if I do the personal delivery, I'll have a great opportunity to test the 14-ways!

I'm planning on taking the opposite tack. No stealth for me! The car looks great in Lava Orange, or at least it will stand out in a crowd. Anyways, that's the plan.

I got my deposit down in late fall and have been told that I should see an allocation this year. I'm going to try to do a European delivery, so next April would be ideal, but that may be pushing my luck a little bit.

Thanks again and congrats!

With that said, I do believe that MY23 is happening, but I have no concrete evidence.
That is mighty presumptuous of you to assume the info came from an SA. Simply trying to help a guy out. Have a nice day.

Sorry, I didn’t realize the receptionist was so knowledgeable!

Relax man, it wasn’t meant to be offensive. Yes, it was oh so presumptuous to think you spoke to the SA at the dealership… Realistically, who am I supposed to assume you spoke to at the dealership? The ghost of Ferdinand?

Have a blessed day

Adrift will get nothing…and like it.

Just discovered this feature of vesselfinder.com. Didn’t realize you could see the schedule of boats coming into a particular port.

Looks like the Siem Confucius might be the one for me. Arrives on 15 April which aligns nicely with my on vessel date from track your dream.
