If they gave you the VIN number, then companies like http://www.2wglobal.com/ track the car by that number. They shipped my V70R.

thanks for that info, didn't find my car on that, so mabye they used a different shipping company, however

that site did provide some good info, also, judging from the schedules, it looks like it only takes 15~ days to cross the pond instead of the 20 or so i thought it to be.

's gettin better all the time

note to self: find out ship name!!!

So, what is the vessel's name? Is it "Cosmo Spirit?" If so, it is scheduled to arrive Baltimore on or about 10/30.

*sigh* things like these make me question,

when is porsche going provide the service and quality to REALLY back up their prices...

and the argument of "small/focused company" -1. cant be applied to porsche anymore, and 2. is irellevant in the service/retail industry.

Moogle,
I'm just curious, and off topic, but is that avatar your mechanic? I live a very sheltered life in Utah, aside from my daughter (she's 5) I can't think of another girl that knows what a torque wrench is.
