Default RS: On The Boat (ONVESL)

It is official. Won't be long now, on the boat which left port yesterday. Should arrive E Coast USA in a week if all goes as planned. At dealer ready to deliver approx Mar 2 if no more blizzards.

VIN 3611

Should be the first batch of RS's to hit the USA it seems to me? Anyone else on the boat?

As always: big shout-out to Chris Sanner at Porsch N. Olmsted OH for making it happen. He is going to have his tech check alignment and pop some camber into it right off the bat.

Still trying to sort out which roll bar to install...

Do you know the name of the boat?
If so, you can track it's progress, via websites.

congratulations!!!

MJones and Dealership are both trying to ferret out the info as we speak. Supposed to be a "VW" boat.

I see you have updated the GT3 Registry. Surprised no other RS owners have updated their info with you?

Great site: http://www.gt3rsregistry.com/VINs.htm

Mine is showing the same status. We must be on the same boat. vin = ...3600. I asked my sales guy to look up the name of the vessel.

The dealer should be able to tell you the vessel's name, I tracked mine using:-

FYI, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) which tracks the vessels is only turned on as they near a land mass.

Slightly OT, but how do you add new info to the GT-3 registry?

Click on Poster "Max Power" name above and "Send an Email". Advise him of your details. He is the keeper of the registry.
