So, i am not sure if there is a port that goes up to your area or if they all come in on that port and then get trucked to NJ. If you have your vin before today, then your is probably on the boat. If your vin comes in after today then it will probably hit the next boat making it to Brunswick on the 8th give or take. The delivery after that is normaly one week. I am getting the shakes for my baby!!!!!! Working over here with the Special Operations as a DOD contractor.
That sucks. I sent an email to my dealer. Havent heard back yet.

I don't know how to track it other than call the Baltimore Port Authority. The good news is that the Rio Grande might have arrived early. Last month my car came on the Rio Grande and it was 2 days early at every port.

Gys,

I have not tried the site yet, but this is what I found...

http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml

My dealer said my car IS on this vessel and he'd be able to tell when it'll arrive on port tomorrow.

Regards

gt3cup98, where do you live? Because there was a boat that left on the 11th of this month going to Brunswick, SC. I am sure it will make the boat ride very soon........ Your dealer can find out the schedule for the boats leaving the port in Europe, so dont let him tell you other wise. If mine can do it, then yours can find that info out. Dont let him bull**** you, allot of them do that, thank god my dealer guys are super professionals!!!!!

My wife's RS was built June 20. Got the VIN on the 25th and on July 10 was informed it was on the boat. Cars for this city arrive in Halifax NS.

Bob, I wonder if the 11th boat makes multiple stops all up and down the eastern sea board? Would make sense. Anyways, you will have your wife’s car sooner then later, LUCKY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy

Brian - Halifax is closer to Europe than other destinations in the US. I am hoping!

My dealer called yesterday and said my car was in Baltimore and had already been through the PDI and Maroney phase and is waiting to be loaded on a truck. I should have it next week...which would make it at least ten days early.

Ten days early from your original date of delivery? Do you know how long it took for the boat ride? Getting anxious huh, me too!!! What options did you get? Brian You are right up the street from me. I live in Raleigh, NC, my good friend Matt, who's name on her is 930man is also from Raleigh, we all should meet up and go driving soon, I get back in 3 weeks.

Brian:

When do you actually get back. I will be in Raleigh from Tuesday evening 31 July through Sunday 5 August visiting kids and Grandkids and then hopefully get my GT3 back here in San Antonio the following week.

I get back around the 9th. I hope my care will arrive that following week later. I also have to have the K40 installed, that is a must with these cars!!! Raleigh is a beautiful place. Especially at this time of year. I guess i will just miss you, but Matt (930man) will be around. He has a great collection right now of the Porsche family. We will be both heading off to VIR shortly after i get back to use these fine production cars and push them to the limits.
