Wahoo, I get to move into the waiting room! Waiting is better than not having a build…

my spyder is on a truck to the dealer.

the closer the car gets, the harder each day of waiting is.

the waaa…aaait…ing is the hard…est part.

i hope to leave the waiting room this weekend (but not without a picture)

Thx in advance.
Will keep you posted for sure. I’m hearing 10-21 days, depending on the trains. Sports cars come by truck too sometimes.

The Siem Cicero is almost in DVV port..waiting outside!! Dealer said about 2 to 5 days to clear customs and get dropped off at dealer (dealer about 2 hours away from port).

Keep us posted on times for sure!!! @P-car-Vancouver

Congrats! You're 1/2 way there! And time will move faster than you ever will imagine. It's crazy!

Not to raise any concerns ... In 2015 I had a new BMW on a train from Halifax to Victoria. The car simply disappeared and after a long delay I complained to the dealer's GM and he contacted BMW HQ. The car was finally located in train switching yards in Vaughan just north of Toronto.

Thankfully, my 2018 Cayman was delivered as was expected.

Lightning doesn't strike twice ... right?

I think you meant South Carolina😂

Interesting, you got V200 on July 8th but don't lock until Sep 24th, then delivery about 6 weeks later. Very interesting indeed. I can't wait to see mine to compare notes.
Yeah, my May 19th V200 won't lock until Sep 24th as well, wonder if it's a batched system in place or something

Thanks! Now I need to investigate buying some bridjits, extending my driveway to accommodate shuffling cars around, and maybe put in a car port to protect exposed cars from hail.

sheesh! Not to mention finance options and insurance.
