The cargo ship "Torrens" carrying my car is docking in Baltimore today (2nd March)... If any one is down there, please ask them to put the pedal to the metal... lol... Not due in Melbourne till 7th April... Maybe I could come across on my seadoo and drag its *** a little faster!

Of course! I will message you the 411 as soon as I know the exact logistics of everything.

I was hoping I would meet you and Mikeymu (and other Rennlisters?) at Thunderhill 3-26/28?

Oh man, Boston is a long way from Australia! Sorry to read you are trapped in transport

mooty

i can't make 3/26-8 GGR dates. out of country.
but if you are here before then, let's catch up.

Unfortunately it is a long, long way to oz with another 5-6 port stops before they arrive but I'm hoping time will fly now... Reading peoples' stories as they receive there cars and shopping for goddies (jacks, tools etc) keeps me going for know...

Keep us posted, I wonder if the rear suspension is different from the GT3.

Split wishbones on the RS is all I know of? And of course rear track is 44mm wider.

You will thoroughly enjoy the delivery by Inter-city; they delivered my CGT and it was quite impressive.....

And you should have come up to hang with us in the upper paddock at SM - I was running a 997 GT3 Cup and a white CLK 63 black on Saturday - fun in the wet!!! Come to SM anytime with the RS!

I signed up for T-Hill, but may not be able to make it and may end up running SM instead with POC.

Mine too!

If you do make it to TH come over and say hi! At SM I was parked to the left of the car transporter set-up the Canadians had, with the cones out around it. I know to come meet you next time! Did you run the red or yellow trimmed car there?

Not sure how I missed watching you run the CLK, I would like to have seen that. The Aston in our group wasn't being driven that fast, but it sounded fantastic and I give kudos for them to have the ***** to track it.

You are soooo lucky to have that facility in your "backyard". I would become a member in a heartbeat if it were not a 7 hour drive

I was running the car shown in the photo (and below). at SM Slicks were impossible in the morning with a damp/drizzling/wet track - much better in the afternoon. The CLK was quite fun in the wet, but would easily break loose if a "more assertive" right foot was used on the accelerator - too much torque. Traction control on was a nightmare - far better with it off. Great fun practicing car control nonetheless!

(Photos are from Sebring; the female mechanics in the photos weren't very good with the tools but made up for it in other ways....)

P.S. Sorry in advance to anyone who may be offended by the girls...

Sweet!

So many comments I could make. But won't

According to my sales guy and his rep today, the RS's are awaiting certification (EPA, etc.). So delivery to dealerships won't be immediate. The other cars (currently certified models like Cayennes and Panameras) that were on the same boat have been released (PDIMON status). The RS's are not in this status yet.

This Friday night Inter City is coming to my house to pick up a car I sold. I will see what else is in the truck. Who knows???

Congrats to all awaiting delivery of their '10 GT3/RS. With the exception of a PCA member on the eastcoast (NNJR) who took delivery at Stuttgart and drove the Nurburgring after 500-1000 break-in miles keeping revs below 5000 rpm what are new owners doing in terms of breaking in the new car's engines?

I intend to do 500 miles with the rev's below 5000 then take it to redline gradually over the next 1000 miles before tracking the car.
