Thanks!

I thought the same about the LWBs but then didn't Larry get one with LWB long before mine?

I actually slept fine...nights before track time are the worst for me usually with anticipation/adrenaline

This may sound blasé but I'm not anywhere near as excited as I should be. I think I have been waiting so long that I've become conditioned to NOT having it and it won't really hit me until I drive it home this afternoon! Don't get me wrong I've been dreaming/salivating over it ever minute hanging on every video and feedback post on the internet/forums (like the rest of you!) but I think I've gotta see/touch drive it before it's "real"

If it's at V300 it'll probably on the same boat that several of us will be on that's leaving mid-month.

Pete, when is the boat carrying your car supposed to leave? Do you have a date? If my car goes v300 on the 23rd, I'm guessing mine will be on a later ship.

The last status I saw was that I'm leaving the port of Emden on 10/16 and arriving at Davisville at the end of the month. I would assume you'll be on the mid-Nov boat with that V300 date.

In addition to the Cars and Caffeine event in Connecticut tomorrow, there is also another large C&C event happening in central NJ. These are a good bunch of car nuts and it's worth checking out.

*****************************************************
Folks,

For this weekend’s C&C, we are changing the day to Sunday, Oct 11 so we can visit a new location: Donaldson Farms in Hacketstown. If your family has have not made their fall activity trip (apple/pumpkin picking, corn mazes, etc.), this C&C would be a good one to attend as the farm offers all those activities and more.

Here are the details:

- One of the parking lots for the farm will be designated for C&C only. There will be a separate entrance for us and we will be located in an area away from the rest of the visitors.
- One of our members walked the field this morning and described it is "hard as a rock."
- If a few of you would like to help tomorrow morning, we would welcome some volunteers around 7:30-8:00AM to help direct the C&C crowd to the right parking area! Just show up early if you can help

Time: 8:30 - 11:00AM

Location:
Donaldson Farms

358 Allen Rd
Hackettstown, NJ 07840

Some tips on directions can be found here: https://donaldsonfarms.net/directions/

Some special notes about this location:

The field is grass; please make every effort to not disturb the grass.
Absolutely no speeding or loud revving on the premises.
While we will be there quite early, there will other visitors to the farm with kids so please exercise extreme caution as you come and go.
As with all other events, we ask you to respect our hosts and their neighbors by being on your BEST behavior and avoid the temptation to rev your engine and peel out. We have a zero tolerance policy in this regard. If you do it, you will be asked not to return.

I will have to see if they completed this week. If so I should be in the same boat but my dealer was thinking it could kiss this one and be on the next one so he gave me end of Novemebr best estimate. Our Macan came early so hopefully same will happen here. I also confirmed my LWB were on the order but I won't feel confident about it until the car arrives

What a weekend. Take delivery and all my free time went out the window and unfortunately it wasn't spent with the GT4.

The GT4 is so incredible and exceeded my incredibly high expectations that I couldn't explain it to fellow Rennlister AuAlexa2 (who came by the dealership when I took delivery on Saturday) that we got together on Sunday so he could understand what I was talking about. He's almost got as many miles on my GT4 as I do!








Not the best pics, my wife is still learning her DSLR and the sun was so bright she was having trouble getting it to even take pics.

Easily the best car I've ever driven/owned. Nothing else like this available on the new car market at any price considering almost nothing comes with a manual transmission anymore.

My build:
Exterior Color
Carrara White Metallic 2Y
Interior Color
Leather Interior, Black with Alcantara® stiching in Guards Red 68
Exterior
Wing Supports in Black 802
Performance
Extended Fuel Tank, 16.91 gal 85
Manual 480
Wheels
20" GT4 Wheels in Platinum 473
Interior
Full Bucket Seats P11
Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell 581
Deviated Stitching i.c.w. Leather Interior 750
Seat Belts in Guards Red XSX
Interior Package Painted EER
Center Console Trim Painted XYG
Fire Extinguisher 509
Interior Carbon
Door-Sill Guards in Carbon Fiber, Illuminated XXB
