Default Have to wait in Emden

GT3RS made it to Port of Emden 7/31, but have to wait till 8/24 to get a ride to San Diego.
Thats almost a month sitting in some parking lot.
Who else is there?
Darn the wait is painful!

My RS is there too. We may be on the same ship together as I am on the west coast as well. My SA is going to call me tomorrow with an update. Hang tough, we are almost home. Actually we are among the first ones built and heading over! What is your spec?

I wonder if it has to do with the factory vacation shut down? Shouldn't be related, but weird the car would sit for a month too.
I found out last week my RS was completed at the factory on 8/2. The first available euro delivery time was 8/29 and I'm picking up 9/12. I was thinking, man, if I didn't do euro delivery I would see that car back here in a month, before my scheduled euro delivery date of 9/12. Sounds like that wouldn't be case. Certainly not a reason to not euro delivery anyway. Patience is a virtue.

My RS is sitting at the port. It’s scheduled to be loaded on the same boat 8/24 arrive 9/20 in San Diego.

There are are two other boats leaving for San Diego earlier. One on 8/11 arrival 9/7. another leaving on 8/15 arriving 9/14. Not sure why our cars are not loaded on the earlier boats. Still possibly they get on the earlier boat.

Anyone know about the "Delhi Highway" departure. Looks like 8/8 after a 2 day closure of Emden

According to the schedule it still looks like the 8th,...
My 2RS has been at port for about a week, hoping to make the Delhi Highway.If not, the next boat for Jacksonville won't get in until Sept 13...that would suck.

Mine finished production on 8/3 and not sure where it is right now - at factory, in transit to port or arrived at Emden but I'm scheduled to be on the 24th boat as well. Fingers crossed we get an early pick-up!!

It's been there since last Friday... My car will be on it, so I am told. I wasn't aware Emden was closed. Was wondering why it has been sitting there so long.
