Maybe they've got delivery problems with the black strip at the bottom of the front clam?

Not sure what you are referring to. The sun was at our backs as we were taking the photos, creating the grid pattern shadows and the one of a photographer holding his camera.

Hey, that's cool. I'm going through Stuttgart on Monday or Tuesday. Where exactly is that yard?

North of the main factory in Zuffenhausen. If you're going north on theroad that runs between the factory and the museum, take the first right past the factory, and go a couple of blocks. Sorry for lack of better directions, but we were on a tour bus, and I didn't notice exactly what route he took.

To me it seemed that the black strip at the bottom of the front bumper is missing? Could be wrong though...

Just got an email from my dealer that had no allocations. After some discussions with the regional rep, they got me in for a 2014 late summer delivery. Going in on Friday to place the order!

Glad I'm doing the garage addition right now.

If you do a Google map search for Adestrasse, Stuttgart, Germany, the satellite image will give you a good idea where the lot is. It is on the west side of Adestrasse, just south of the railroad tracks, on the north end of the factory complex.

According to well informed sources the delay is related to the GT3 PDK-S. The supplier has been experiencing quality issues with some of the parts. Predicted delay could be 3-4 weeks.
