Dude, I hope so.

I think reading these forums makes the wait harder.

Okay a quick update.

I found out that my GTS is on a vessel named the Mermaid Ace. Guess what? She docked in Halifax this morning.

The new official eta is now December 19th.

She is getting close.

Congratulations!!

Can't wait to see yours. You don't like SportDesign steering wheel?

If you don't mind, any discount?

Wow!! Getting close.

Seems like yesterday when you were going over which final build to go with!

I'm just about as excited as you are following the whole "order to delivery" journey!

I do like the SD wheel, and if I had went with a PDK equipped car I would have selected it. However, for a manual I like the MF wheel. Plus being in Montreal the steering wheel heating is nice.

I got a 3.25 discount.

Vetsky, can I ask how you get this info? Does your SA provide it? i was told that it wasn't available to CDN purchasers of 911's, only Cayenne and Boxster customers.

Looking forward to at least a couple hundred pics...need to live vicariously through you.

Thanks.

Yeah. My dealer gave me the vessel info, and once it landed I called for an update.

Don't worry. This thread will be FULL of pics.

The Mermaid ace is on its way once again. Means she has left her precious cargo destined for Canadian Customers in Halifax.

For the uber-obsessive, once you get a vessel name, you can track your Porsche across the ocean on marinetraffic.com

Um . . . at least that's what I was told by an uber-obsessive friend . . . ya, that's it . . . a friend. None of us are uber-obsessive.

Okay so I just got an email from my dealer. Apparently, Porsche AG has not finalized the rates on the GTS so they are holding ALL the GTS cars at the port until Jan1.

This is a reply to a note i sent asking about scheduling the delivery of my GTS.

We will have to wait and see what happens.
Frank spoke with Porsche Canada and the cars might not be released from port until Jan 1st if Porsche AG doesn’t approve the programs in time.
So worse case, you will be able to pick it up after your Christmas vacation in early Jan as initially expected.
Nothing is confirmed yet so we will have to wait to see what happens early next week.
Let’s cross our fingers.
Is this common for a new model?

WTF? I hope this isn't true. Why wouldn't they have gotten this sorted out before they even left Germany is beyond me.

Can you call your dealer and ask for an update? Lets see what he says.
