Grand Venus Anyone?
 
Anyone else aboard the Grand Venus? My Chalk GT3 is chugging its way to the West Coast.

Dot23RS 01-23-2019 10:44 PM

My Chalk 3RS that was completed 1/10 is. February 13th can’t come soon enough!

joejenie 01-24-2019 12:15 AM

Mine is on the Grand Venus. MB 3RS w/WP. Built 12/7, but got held up for several weeks for a couple small cxxx items. Originally thought we would get the car before Christmas. Well overdue!

Thinker23 01-24-2019 01:05 AM

My GT Silver RS with 909 WP is onboard!

milaadf 01-24-2019 01:31 AM

I am on this one! West Coast delivery, Red stripper model.

Will have to check with my dealer if my 3RS is on this one. Completion date for me was 1/8. When is it scheduled to reach San Diego?

My TTS is keeping your GT3 company on the Grand Venus! I hope they'll be friends on the long voyage to the West Coast. I don't want to hear that there were fights breaking out about FI vs NA.

Oh wait - wrong forum. :icon107:

Confirmed on Grand Venus. Touring to the Westcoast!

I thought I saw that but then saw something that showed first stop San Diego.

My MT GT3 is also on the Grand Venus!!

Anyone know if there will be an impact at the port due to the partial government shutdown?

Confirmed my 3RS is also on the Grand Venus!

My car has been in Emden for a bit waiting for a ride to Davisville.
I think it's due to be on the Euphrates Highway that was due to leave on the 25th at the latest, but as of today the 28th is still moored at port.

I have a Carrera White Metallic GT3 Touring on this ship as well. Quite a party we have going here. :)

Not surprising considering PAG built over 500 GT cars for NA in December alone. Which dealership is yours again C.J.? I’ve bought my last few from BH but wouldn’t be opposed to buying from you in the Future.

I first asked about an allocation in August - now more than 6 months later I'm tracking the Grand Venus every single day.

It just passed Acapulco... San Diego on the 14th or so... How long does it typically take to unload and get from San Diego to Benicia?

I’m in the same boat, seems to really be moving, 16knts is hauling. Are you tracking via satellite? Vessel finder and Marine traffic only show when it’s within a few miles of port. I’ll be able to see it coming into San Diego bay.

currently Glovis Countless is awaiting to enter port

It made it into port this morning - everyone expecting to get offloaded in San Diego - rejoice!

Maybe... My TTS gets trucked from Benicia to Seattle, so we'll have to race each other to see who picks up their new wheels from the dealership last!

yeah that’s about right, usually gets to SoCal dealers in about 7-10 days. Then PDI at the dealership so about 2 weeks from now for retail delivery.
mine goes directly to PECLA for pickup on March 13th.

Gonna be a wet few days to unload.

What color & spec? Maybe I'll snap few pics if I see it. great lunch spot!

Yeah it is, it’s dumping here in Coronado.

It’s a Chalk 3RS with aurum wheels and pccb. Yellow deviated stitching everywhere, yellow seat belts. Should be at PECLA in about a week.

digits 02-16-2019 03:16 PM

Well, the San Diego roll-off is all wrapped up - I hope everyone receives their car (or cars) soon without any hiccups (or, gasp, port holds).

Now the Grand Venus is creeping along very slowly west of the Golden Gate, just a bit behind schedule - maybe there's some congestion at the port?

Anyone else expecting a car in Benicia? Tracking the Grand Venus multiple times a day like me?

17bhub 02-17-2019 03:45 AM

Benicia for me :corn:

milaadf 02-17-2019 05:43 PM

digits 02-17-2019 06:08 PM

Looks like the Grand Venus has been unloaded (based on the decrease in draught) so now I'm just waiting on the port exit status update... I hope mine doesn't get randomly chosen for an 80 mile road test.

Waiting on my Cayenne which was on the Grand Venus and have been on constantly checking on ship tracking the last few days. I purchased from a local Bay Area dealer nearby and the SA said they usually get truck deliveries within 4 - 6 days of landing in Benicia.

I wish I could have seen the huge Grand Venus sail under the Golden Gate Bridge but it came in pretty late at night. The more I learn about these RO-RO cargo ships,and the logistics involved, it’s really fascinating.

Good luck!

Anyone who's car was unloaded in Benicia see it hit their dealer yet? What about San Diego?

Someone close this thread please. I don’t like the latest updates. Sitting here in Portland waiting makes me bitter. Should have sent it to SF and had Mooty park it in my garage.

Marin Vizsla 02-21-2019 04:48 PM

My wife commutes into SF and drives by Marin Porsche every day. She said she saw a car trailer in front unloading white wrapped cars this morning - most likely the first batch from the Grand Venus. So some lucky individual(s) should be getting calls shortly!

I haven’t received a call yet from my SA so mine might not be on this first trailer....

Odd I live in Eastern Washington and mine showed up last Friday. In any case good luck to all those waiting. The snow is deep here so it will be some time before I can do anything but polish and maybe an exhaust upgrade. If the snow keeps up I may get some winter tires.
