Beautiful car! And great pictures too.

Can I ask you what ship you were on? I'm a little west of you and waiting. I was on Wanaka.

Default It is here

My car was on the SFL Composer. Just got texted yesterday from my dealer that the car (Boxster 25 yr) is safe and sound and getting prepped for delivery to me Tuesday. Feel like I dodged a bullet ! No damage!
I’ll post some pics after PPF and Ceramic Pro!

Default Officially in production!

Officially in production, just a few more days until she rolls off the production line. Very exciting, I cannot wait to see the picture they send me.

The Gral San Martin is currently flying along at 15.4 knots, but still out in the lonely Atlantic. Approx 12-13 days out of Houston.



Are you on that boat? I'm still sitting in Emden since March 21st!

i am on that boat, as of April 7. It is an east coast boat, so not apples to apples, but are you sure you’re in Emden? PVMS also says that? Maybe you’re missing some component…? Sorry, bro.

As far as I can tell I am still sitting on the ground in Emden. PVMS says the same thing as of Friday.

Your production was way behind me and you are already in the homestretch. Good for you.

There HAS to be something to the story of why you’re still there. Are west coast cars way backed up? East vs west coast boats are totally different things, I would assume.

There probably is something to it but that something isn’t anything I’m privy to. I wish I was.

Three boats have left Emden headed for the West Coast since my car arrived at the port. Makes me wonder if they need to do some thing corrective to my car before letting it set sail. I hope not and it’s just congestion.

Although there is another guy on this thread whose car is already headed for the West Coast and he was way behind me in arriving at the port. SMH

super unfortunate. Hope there’s a good reason!
I was at Emden at 3/13, so a week ahead of you. My car was already offloaded at port in San Diego last week.

I was CP8.0 on 3/30, arrived at port shortly after, and loaded onto Glovis Supreme west coast bound on 4/5. Wish we knew what was up with yours… I’m still hoping it randomly just shows up.

When my dad retired for medical reasons he ordered his “dream car” which was a 2004 BMW 330i ZHP. He went to the dealer to place an order, wrote a check, and that’s all he heard of it until they called him several months later because the car arrived at the dealer. Sometimes TYD is a blessing and a curse. 🤣

I have the same feeling. If three boats have come and gone you might be on Glovis Supreme and don't know it.

Do you know which boat you were on?
