Port of Houston, then to Tennessee.

Then East Tennessee Tail of the Dragon, on to Road Atlanta to watch a friend run in Lemon! Hope it doesn't get cold.

NEED SOME BREAK-IN MILES

Default Fremantle Highway - timing, Benecia SF

Touring... RS.... if only. But, no giant complaints as my GTS is on the "Fremantle Highway" from which it will be dropped at Benecia, (SF). If anyone has experience with the West Coast vessel routing/timing or the like that might help me nail down when it will dock in the Bay Area, please advise. Porsche dealer states it will be docking 11/23. I have been tracking it. Port of San Diego shows it will pull in there on Friday 11/2 - in two days. Maybe vessel will stop in Long Beach as well. And then up to Benecia. No doubt Porsche can only guesstimate based on Emden departure. And then, once in Benecia, who knows how long to get to SLC. Thanks, John

Contemplated for the longest time on aurum vs black wheels (on a black RS)...ended up ordering aurum. After seeing these photos, not sure I made the right decision. Those satin black wheels look awesome on that car.

I saw a black RS with aurum wheels recently at a local Porsche dealer; it looked stunning! I don't think you will regret it, although can't go wrong with satin black.

Is yours on Shanghai Highway? I just heard from my dealer that my car (GT3T) was picked up from Emden ~11/3 on that vessel. Port of call is Benicia and then will be transported to PEC-LA for a delivery. I'm hoping to get my car before the end of the year, so want to jump on the PEC schedule ASAP.

Yup, Shanghai Highway! I am tracking it online through a VesselFinder app. I think it’s due to arrive Benicia on Dec 6?

My T is on the same boat. Unless there's been an update the arrival is Dec 3rd for Benicia.

I thought it stops in San Diego port also which is closer to LA.

I thought it would go to San Diego (Port Hueneme) too but the tracking provided by my SA shows Benicia.

And by the way, my brother's RS that arrived last month took less than a week from arrival at port (Benicia) to Stead in Walnut Creek. Hopefully that's some good news for you.
