Gloves? Check.
Scarf? On the daily. Check.
Gaia Leader location? Just south of Costa Rica after Panama Canal. Check.

I knew there was a risk in having him track the boat...

Not so fast, Alessandro! On January 5th, per the information
you gave us, the 'Gaia Leader' location was not yet south of
Costa Rica. It was still steaming just south of Panama on its
Pacific Coast:

I know how you feel CA, my car arrived at port Monday this week, so the days are really numbered now.

is it a coincidence that my Spyder sailed by the same latitude and area just off shore from where El Chapo was captured?... no, I don't think so.

Default El Chapo & PTS...

That could be. But trust me when I tell you that El Chapo will
be out of prison (one way or another) before PAG starts shipping
the unique PTS .1 gt3 RS's from the Port of Emden to the Panama
Canal & then cruise down the coast of Mexico to San Diego in
the next few months! He is told me he is particularly interested
in seeing 'Gelbgrün' & 'Birch Green/Lichtgrün'...and wondered
if his favorite, 'Chartreuse/Lindgrün', was approved in time to
color some of the late production RS's! I kid you not!

Did you know he is a big fan of Steve McQueen and used
to have a 'Slate Grey' 911S in Sinaloa years ago?



Saludos,
Eduardo

Gaia Leader en route to San Diego

So, I live in SD. Does the car get off the boat there, or make its way up to Port Hueneme? I think maybe the latter for PDI?

Currently, PCNA's ports of entries in the US are:

1) Davisville, Rhode Island (replaced Baltimore, MD in 2010)
2) Brunswick, Georgia
3) Houston, Texas
4) San Diego, California





The 'Gaia Leader' may indeed make its way to Port Hueneme
near Camarillo/Oxnard...if it's also carrying some BMWs!

Port Hueneme's existing customers are:

BMW, Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover, Maserati, Aston Martin,
Ford, Mitsubishi, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Nissan,
Hyundai & Kia.

My car arrived in RI on 12/29. Still not at the dealer. My SA says Porsche gives dealership a 1-2 day lead time. How long are buyers finding port to dealer intervals are? Anyone with experience with Davisville port in RI? It's been almost 2 weeks!

Ah yes! I am guilty of owning BMW's in the past. They've now lost the plot and I've moved on, but that's why port Hueneme sounded familiar. Great news that the P boat stops in my hometown.
