My car completed around the same time. It was on the Gracious Ace – landed on the East Coast (Halifax) on Feb 14th. Still there, yes hopefully indoors…

I doubt they do PDI outdoors. Hopefully they have space indoors to store the few vehicles.

Wasn't talking about the inspection itself. I was describing as the picture shows, which is they are STORED outside. This holds true as I confirmed through PCNA today.... at least for those entering in Houston.

Spoke with PCNA. No new information, but their feeling (FWIW) is that some information may be released in the "next week or two."

For those of us due at the San Diego port, I've asked if the cars are stored at an indoor facility. They will find out and let me know--I'll post if and when they contact me.

Thanks, Tim. I spoke with my dealer, and he is calling the Porsche PDI guy at the Port of Houston to find out where my car is being stored and to see if it can be put indoors if it isn't already. I'll update when I hear back.

The rep I spoke to is the same one I spoke with last week and she recognized me--I asked questions every which way and she was pretty forthcoming. They literally have NO info from PAG. Germany has simply told them they are "investigating." No change in the party line literally since the press release from 2/20. In fact, she said that they (PCNA) were not given any advance notice of the issue. They basically heard via the press release.

Apparently, there's been a LOT of customer calls, as well as dealer inquiries to PCNA, which has been sent up to PAG. There's nothing to back it up, but they think that "some info" should be sent out in a week or two to alleviate the unknown in the minds of the dealers and the customers.

Default Glovis Condor has made a u-turn off of Baja

And yes, as you can likely tell, I'm tracking Glovis now bc apparently my car was not on previous ship...so you, me, and Nick are shipmates.

My wife told me that if the ship sinks, then it would be a sure sign that I was not meant to have a GT3. Sad, but true.
Looks like potential problem. Last heading was South at 2 knots . Heading away from SD.

I noticed the same. Glovis Condor is heading back to gods know where. YES!!!! More drama.
Maybe the pirates have taken over the ship.

Man overboard, the Glovis Condor just did a giant oval.

Not to worry--that was just for evasive maneuvers to avoid the sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads. Glovis is back on track.

Glovis Condor made an 8 hour slow u-turn and is back on track. Started at 5.18 PST (00.18 UTC) and was back to full speed by 1:41 am PST (8.41 UTC). What ever the problem was, it appears to be fixed as the Glovis Condor is now back on track at normal speeds.
