Default My GT2 is on the boat!!

Well after almost a year wait my GT2 is now on the boat, my dealer said it should be in my hands by months end. Does anyone have the latest shipping schedule into Baltimore? I know Eric from Bumper Plugs usually has it on his website by he only has until the end of July on there.

JP I was going to chime in and tell you we sympathize with you while you endure the Very difficult wait (for us mortals) while your baby comes across the pond. HOWEVER after looking at your stable I can be nothing but Jealous!!You have MORE than enough toys to keep your mind off the GT2 for awhile!!!LOL
Congrats and go drive some of your cars whilst you wait!!

Yes Andre, I was on the M5 board. I owned the M5 for about 7 months and just couldn't get past the SMG as it was my daily driver.

I had the 03, then the 06.. and yes, the car was not involving so I dumped it 4 months into ownership.

Congrats again!! I hate to admit to envy, but I do in this case..

jpcourt, I had the chance to drive a friend's GT2 in Germany last May. You are going to have a blast! Remember to breathe -- in AND out.

The wait is killing me, I gave the dealer my Turbo on Tuesday because they had a few people interested in the car and they told me my car should be here on Thursday..... long story short here I am Saturday morning on the computer and not in my new car. The say it should be at the dealership today and I can take delivery on Monday. I'm just waiting for the call so I can at least go see it.

Well it finally arrived late this afternoon. The service manager stopped by while I was checking out the car (his day off) and did the PDI so I could take it home today I took off all the plastic and shipping materials myself, I will also do the detail myself, I left there with the car absolutely filthy so I know what I will be doing tomorrow. Here are a couple of pics.
