We're ship mates! Last I checked it has a San Diego arrival of 8/16!

I'm glad to hear you guys will be getting your cars soon; it's been a long wait!

There was another white GT3 up on the hoist in mid-engine-swap at the dealer in Adelaide when I picked my car up and master tech said that he had another two white cars waiting to be done. I'm not sure if their engines had been built or not.

Fortunately this will all be behind everyone soon

Spoke with PCNA this morning for my Cat B stuck at the US port.

1. My swap has been completed!!! That's the best news I've heard in a while. Unfortunately, no additional info regarding transportation date to my dealer...

2. It is unclear / unconfirmed, but it was intimated to me that after the fiasco with the warranty paperwork and stickers that held up Cat A cars at the dealers until their arrival, that PCNA may be trying to coordinate these items to the ports, so that they will accompany our cars from the ports to the dealers.

It depends on how much driving you are planning...
If I were you,I'd take off from work and drive continuously,just come in for a few hours of sleep. I don't know if the wife would allow it,but...

I am going to miss my Red C2s Loaner. Sure, it is no GT3 but I take it every where and never have any worries. It is kind of nice to sort of have a car that you have no worries. I even drive it to the car wash(hand wash) and to the mall/movies. Already 300omiles on the puppy. I did break it in nicely for the dealership. Never abused it but certainly had my way with it. I can never abuse beautiful sports car even it is not mine. This upcoming weekend may be my last with her so I will say my good byes.

Agree with Jimmy. I will miss my C4S cab loaner. I drove it to places I wouldn't take my car to. Treated well and drove it hard ( like she likes it). 4500 miles since I got it. I think I will miss the cab, but still can't wait wait to turn it in

The wife factor is huge. She's pretty sick of me talking about the car, talking about the wait, on the RL app, etc.

My plan is to get through 2 tanks of gas in 2 weeks time...then let her rip!

Congrats Tim. Looks like you'll get your before me. I'm not in the system as having engine swapped yet.

Thanks, Mike--call your GT3 concierge. They can tell you definitively if your engine has been swapped. What they seem to not have info on is the logistics / covered transport timing.
