At least, it's some progress...

My 997 TT has finally shown up on my dealer's list of new cars on the Porsche website. It actually has a VIN!

Of course, no news on where it is actually physically located. On a ship in the Atlantic? In a port on the Eastern seaboard? On a truck on it's way to Chicago? Of course, no call from the dealership yet...

Tantalizingly close...

Hey, that's good news. Hound your dealer - they should be able to tell you exactly where it is i.e. finished prod., waiting for a boat, on a boat (and what boat it's on), etc.

Okay...I just found out that my TT is loaded on the Orion Highway due into Baltimore on 9/18...getting closer!

My dealership also just received the 19" Champion RF67s...wow...they are even better looking in person...Thanks Chris for posting pics and cementing my decision!

As long as the Orion Highway takes good care of my TT on her cruise to the US...
