If you want to track the Glovis Clover here is a good site. It is scheduled to be at the Canal on Feb. 24th

LOL, Beer and strippers on board. I noticed they were in english channel. it's all part of the GT3 delivery. All drama. San Diego port does not even have a schedule for this ship. I might have to go to Panama to pick up the car up. I Love it.

Let me know when you find out. it takes at least nine hours to get through the Canal assuming no wait time.

FWIW, just received an invite to drive the Corvette at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana later this month. Seems like a good program because it also includes expert driving instructions. It is a five hour session. Not sure if I want to do it. It is at least a couple of hours away and I will have the GT3 next month. What's the point?

Will do Nick. For now it shows headed to Panama. It will get updated soon. I just have to be patient and will report back.

From what I've seen, the most current port schedule for SD only goes out to 3/2. My bet is that it will show up on the next schedule update. Not long now, gentlemen!

Hi all, just been told by my OPC that they're expecting my car for PDI tomorrow, but Porsche have just issued a 'delivery stop'. Apparently, 62 cars are affected - does anyone have any intel? Thanks in advance!

I seem to recall going through this exact same chatter a month or so back.

Won't be long now; good luck to all of you folks and safe journeys for you new babies!

I believe he is in the UK.

Not sure what is going on with this car. I know it is minor stuff but if it requires frequent visits to the dealer it becomes a real PIA.

I'm in Jersey (Old Jersey) 100 miles south of UK. It's a RHD UK car. Dealer hopes it will just be software ...

Probably the last patch of thermostat fix or software update, blah blah blah. Whatever it is they know what they are doing. They want to make sure we get our cars safe and sound. Its almost over but frankly I will miss this time. Its just part of the fun

Btw, SD port schedule just updated. Still no Glovis Condor, BUT the arrival dates do roll out to 3/11 now. I'm sure the GC will show up on that schedule when we are a month away from arrival date.

Hoegh Autoliners puts out a schedule for that boat (Glovis Condor), but I can't seem to get it to find San Diego as a port. It lists the boat, but no schedule. Maybe an email or call would get you a better date.
