We are both due in Houston same day though it seems the Goodwood has been a day behind at every stop. It's definitely crunch time! My garage is naked without the GT3.

The title of this thread really threw me; I thought that you were tracking your car at Goodwood.

In any event, good luck with the final waiting period.

Awesome, exciting! Saw your "old" Martini car at the dealership Friday, looked awesome.

Goodwood has been anchored outside Houston harbor since Wednesday.... fingers crossed that the soon get a slot to dock and unload!!!

Strimdog

Thanks Sam. It's found a new home already. Someone in Ft Worth and it was bought as a track car so she will continue to be enjoyed.

Strimdog

She will! Bravery Ace unloads tomorrow (Ducati can rest easy tonight).

Goodwood has a slot on March 22! The wait is almost over boys!

I'm telling you this could be the hardest part - just sitting outside the port of Houston for three days doing nothing!!
I'm sitting here watching the Matrix with my 12 year old and I keep wondering if this car is a figment of my imagination?!?! I still can't believe that in 3-4 weeks I'll have a GT3 in my garage!

Strimdog

Waiting does suck indeed! That was one of the reasons I bough the Martini car. Thankfully the weather has been crap lately so I would not be driving her anyway, though the empty spot in the garage does serve as constant reminder.

We are going to be one of the last delivered as well. Looking forward to your "SHE FINALLY HERE!" post with pictures.

It'll get here when it gets here I guess. I have a feeling that might coincide with a period of travel for me just to add to the frustration! Will actually be in Austin, Houston and then back to Austin 2nd week of April thru May.

C'mon ... still anchored outside of Houston.

Do we need to raise funds for an airlift operation? ... or just continue eating popcorn and watch youtube videos...

Now scheduled for 3/24 unloading in "Turning Bassin"

I was on the Bravery Ace in front of you and the info coming out of the PoH was a little confusing. Vessel continued to move between "vessels arriving" and "vessels berthed". Goodwood arrived a day behind Bravery Ace and has been tracking 24 hrs behind on all up dates so far.
Which dealer is yours heading for - local to you or remote plus transportation needed?

I can't say its been fun watching the Goodwood sit at anchor off Galveston for almost a week. My dealer has 9 cars on it and one is my new Cayenne Diesel tow car. The dealer has tried to contact the port but they are silent as to the delays. Original eta was 0001 GMT 19 March and now she just sits. I'm sure the crew is bored, but the there is at least fifty ships in the gaggle. By the way the latest plot shows the Bravery Ace outbound passing the anchored Goodwood and from what I heard the Bravery Ace left Emden five days after the Goodwood. ???

Yea this is painful. My dealer ETA in Dallas is 3/27, I guess by some miracle it is possible I would have my car this weekend but certainly not counting on it. The Goodwood is LOADED with P cars for this area. My dealer has 29 cars on that ship, yes 29! I said 3 hail mary's, sacrificed 2 chickens, picked a 4 leaf clover, and spoke to a groundhog that saw his shadow earlier. Therefore WE MUST be unloading within the next 12 hours!

My car is going to Stevinson in Denver, CO

I haven't yet decided whether I'll drive it to the NW from there or have it shipped up.... any recommendations or thoughts on doing a 1300 mile drive right upon delivery? It'll certainly take care of the break-in period.

I may try to hit 9K before exiting Denver (I didn't say that!!)
