Yeah, that makes sense! Appreciate the info.

Not 100% sure about the hold up at the port. Unfortunately couldn’t schedule my appointment at PEC any sooner than I did in October, so it could’ve just been sat waiting for that slot. Once I’d tracked it obsessively over the ocean, and knowing that my PEC appointment wasn’t until mid October I sort of forgot about it for a bit, so I stopped agonizing. I have the Bose too. Flying out to Atlanta one week on Monday, and feeling like a kid with all the excitement!
I've heard nothing but exceptional things about the PEC delivery. A buddy just picked up his Turbo GT from there and sent me loads of pics and wouldn't stop gushing about his experience. I would have done it too but in this case just wanted the car as quickly as possible.

Looks like we should get our cars at similar times, I'm thinking Hunt Valley cars and coffee when we both get our cars sounds like a good time!

Yeah, heard lots of good things too! Think if I’d known it was going to add another month plus to my delivery time I would’ve skipped it, but I’m certainly looking forward to it. Original plan was European delivery, but with all the delays, scheduling it around kids and whatnot was going to be too stressful, so the PEC delivery was my consolation prize.

Hunt Valley cars and coffee sounds great! Will hit you up on DM. Cheers!

Did they stop giving the final production photo on TYD? I got two but didn't get the final build shot, and it seems like most others posting production pics don't have a final photo either.

Well I just got a BIG surprise. Last night my delivery date was showing 70 days out. I just got home and zapped the TDY and it is showing my car will now be at the dealer in 19 days. It was supposed to load in 40 days and now I find it loaded today on the Lake Wanaka. Still no build photos, the search continues. Crazy thing is that the TDY last night showed it sitting in Emden since 9/27 but today's update shows it just got there today and was loaded today. I'll take it!

Yes, assume you won’t get it. I don’t know anyone since the summer shutdown that’s received the final build photo.

Unfortunately thems the breaks. I really wanted it too because it would've been the first time I've seen a fully assembled non-GT4RS sports car in Arctic Grey. But my car hit CP8.0 on the 24th and is at the port right now and all I got was the first two pictures...

Unless it's something they throw in there when the process is complete, I'd say it's probably a foregone conclusion you won't get one.

Dunno what to tell you. It’s either there or it isn’t. The only two most of us have are the side body and the front on shot. No one has posted a finished shot since mid-summer. Mines now 35 days since completion and no new photos were ever added beyond the two given. Not ideal but it is what it is.

Truck is parked just outside of Düsseldorf. Google maps overlaps it with a golf course.

Yeah i mean i'm happy i even have the two. But was hoping that i'd get the "full" experience and get all the photos. Oh well. I didnt think the photos thing was something that was up to chance, i thought it was part of the whole TYD experience but thats what happens when you make baseless assumptions lol.
