[QUOTE=elitex;18577383]I did. It's so weird. looks like it's going to make another circle.

It might be weather related. My car is on the Neptune Kopar which took an extreme detour south in route to its first stop in Halifax which caused a 2 day delay. When it turned south I looked at the weather radar which looked nasty and assumed they were diverting around the storm.

it looks like there’s a big storm in the North Atlantic right now which may explain the delay.

I just checked ventusky.com. High wind gust of 40 mph may be the problem.

European Delivery scheduled for April 13 in Leipzig!

Only going to drive one day to Zuffenhausen then drop at Sindelfingen. Then we can drive around in a rental while the shipping saga begins!!

Amazing news! When did you first contact Joey to get an ED allocation?
I am aiming to have my ED in early September, also in Leipzig.

First email to him was Jan 5 and his reply was there was a lack of slots now at Leipzig as well because Porsche scheduled several events there in April-May.
Yesterday I received an email asking if I could pick from several dates in June. (sigh) I selected the first available (6th), but asked if there was a cancellation list I could join as I have flexibility with my schedule.
Less than an hour later he emailed with the April 13 cancellation!! I couldn't email back fast enough.

Booking the Porsche rental and flights today!

Appreciate the information! Sounds painless. I can't wait for August\September allocations to be released.
