Sounds gorgeous. I am picking up my 3 in SC. Getting her wrapped, putting snows on and driving her back to Wisconsin. Gonna drive her on nice days if we have many. Sick of storing them for the whole winter.

For all my guys on the Heritage Leader, looks like luck is not on our side. Pulled this link from vesseltracker.com, translation under the link.

A propulsion failure forced the boat left from Le Havre (Seine-Maritime) to join the commercial port of Brest (Finistère), where it was taken over by the shipyard Damen Shiprepair.

Used to transport vehicles, the rider Heritage Leader , who left Le Havre Wednesday, November 28 to reach Jacksonville (United States), finally diverted to Brest, following a turbo failure on its propulsion engine .

Capacity of 6,500 cars

The Heritage leader has docked at the repair platform 1 on Saturday 1 st December, when it was supported by the shipyard Damen Shiprepair.

After setting up a new turbo, the ship received by the Brokers could return to sea Wednesday night or Thursday.

Built in South Korea in 2011, 200 m long, 32, 29 m wide, this ro-ro has twelve decks and has a capacity of 6,500 cars.

Its seven-cylinder Man B & W propulsion diesel has a power of 21,490 hp.

This vessel is operated by NYK Line (Nippon Yusen Kaisha), a Japanese company which, with its 120 ro-ro ships, has the largest fleet of vehicles in the world.

In late October 2016, NYK Line, MOL and K Line, Japan's three major container shipping companies, announced the merger of their container shipping business. The new entity will manage 256 vessels.

Isn't there a GT2 RS or something on
There we can borrow a turbo from? ?

With all the changes and drama and push backs on ordering, PTS, building, and now shipping this car I feel like I'm in a 3 stooges skit. Lol

It’s an interesting process. Seems like when I followed my ‘18 GT3 I got more info from Marine Tracker. Now you get almost nothing. The Goodwood has not updated in a week unless you buy their service.

I think it'll end up in Jacksonville by the 20th if it takes off on the 6th.

Thanks for this info! I'm on Heritage Leader too and I was starting to think the ship broke down since it's been at Brest for so long. This confirms it! You think it would take 2 weeks to get to Jax. I was thinking more like a week assuming 22knts and smooth sailing. Either way, as long as I get my car before mid Jan, I would be getting it earlier than the first available PECATL delivery date.

Oh - got a GT3 coming. Not revealing the PTS color yet as I haven't been able to find any media online of a Porsche in my color. Want to be, or at least think I am, a (known) 1 of 1 for a little while longer! *
