That’s a bummer. Ive been monitoring the vaccine roll out there and at their current pace (ramping up weekly) they should hit herd immunity by mid July, which is when Porsche will make a decision re ED for rest of the year. So I’m hopeful we will be good for our October ED. If not, oo well.

 

Well, another issue is parts shortage. They are shifting delivery dates likely due to supplier issues already. My allocation (992 Turbo S) shifted from mid-September to early October, which is already too risky for track days, but worse if it shifts again and I'll have to re-book everything. It may be different for different models, but for 911 even some summer allocations get moved to fall, depending on options.

 

Gotcha. Didn’t know that was happening on the Turbos. I am getting a 911 C2S and my freeze date moved back 4 days recently, but everything else hasn’t changed since I went V200. I guess time will tell. Though I did spec more sporty and less tech focused so I wonder if that will help me.

 

Zuffenhausen

 

My coordinator said do Leipzig first, as it was a better deal as I’d still get a discounted Zuffenhausen trip at the end. I like doing the track first.

My German friends are telling me that they fully expect to be full swing by September. I’m flying myself over most likely, so I am not worried about bumping my schedule around.

 

Me too! I am taking delivery at 8am. You?

 

You've already gotten a Euro delivery date and time? When is your car scheduled to be V300?

 

8/27

 

Hmmm, mine is 7/30. How'd you already get a date and time?

 

I have been working directly with Joey at PCNA (the EU coordinator) for a few weeks now. Just got it confirmed.

 

how did you go about reaching out initially? My V300 recently got moved back to 8/27 (it was originally end of July). I expected my dealer would do the coordination, but as this is my first euro delivery, I am unsure. My V250 was also pushed and isn’t until 7/2 if that’s of any significance.

 

I'm scheduled for Sept 28th in Leipzig. 992 GT3. What is your date and car?

 

I’m scheduled to pick up my GT3 in Leipzig on Oct 12. Have you planned any travel routes? I’m looking for ideas.

 

I have a possible date of Oct 5 in Zuffenhausen but I have been wondering if Leipzig is the better choice. What do some of you fellows that may have picked up cars from both think about the pros and cons of the different pickup locations? I know that in Leipzig you get to drive on their track -- but the factory there doesn't build the sports cars and the museum is not there either. I suppose you can always drive to the museum in any case.
I have no feel for whether one city is more interesting as compared to the other as well --

 

I have a Spyder pickup scheduled Sept 21 in Leipzig, but I am a first-timer, so appreciate the insights of those who’ve done it before.
