Pfaff, that's correct. Nice touch with the Turbo S gesture.

I just checked a few websites, trying to get an update on location. Apollon Leader is suppose to dock at 1900 hrs. Can't seem to get an update. Anyone else know if she arrived. Just getting a little excited, that's all. I'm sure most understand where I'm coming from.

Just checked the Marine Traffic app. As of 5 minutes ago she's just off the Canadian coast right near Halifax harbour. My dealer's estimate of March 6th as her arrival date isn't far off!

Thanks for the update. Doesn't look like there's too many 3's on board, not much reaction here on RL.

We may be the only ones on board. It'll be interesting to see who makes it to their dealership first.

They should be arriving the same day, after all the dealerships are within an hour of each other. Now on which one actually touches down first, that's up in the air.

She actually did not dock in Halifax on March 8th. The Halifax Autoport is apparently all jammed up so the Apollon Leader will be docking at the Port of Davisville in Rhode Island and our Canadian cars will be offloaded there and will go through U.S. customs. The good news is that my dealer isn't expecting a delivery delay.

Oh well, what the heck, now they'll have tri-citizenship....German, U.S. and Canadian.

David, thank you for the update. Was getting a little nervous after I heard about the snow/iced in port.

She's docked at Davisville now and presumably unloading our cars!

Great news, hopefully there's not a hold up when they go through custom.
