Hehehe just thought i'd share!

ah its been such a great week, much good news, and then out of the blue one morning the dealer calls, apparently they never updated me when the car was in production, or being invoiced,etc.

but now its a LONG 20 days until delivery!!!

Congrats! The Volvo I ordered had GPS tracking of the ship via the internet. I got to watch it go through the Panama Canal...virtually.

Moogle

thanks , and that was good for a chuckle since i tried to check what boat my car was on, and the dealer took 2 hours to get back to me to say they had no f*ckin idea... interesting aint it

cheers!

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

Moogle

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!!!

jessejames

I found a gray market car I bought on the boat a few years back...funny I remember the name.--->The Olive Ace....now if I could just remember where I put my keys.

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

Moogle

i asked my dealer they didn't know, they said they would find out... what other vessels are out there scheduled to arrive in 1st/2nd week of november at baltimore?

and a very specific question just for you viken :

is there a specific shipping company that porsche uses? and what is the port of departure?

Laura

Viken,
You must have ties with the PORSCHE god, How do you know these things?

Moogle

my theory is that he is actually Wendelin Weideking

but he knows more about p-cars than anyone i've heard of

KSA Turbo

*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.

Laura

Rich, You live a very sheltered life, more and more women know what a torque wrench is and also know what newton meters are !

I do need to get out of here a little more often. Thanks Laura.
