My dealer, Porsche of Downtown LA, provided me with build date (May 3) and aboard vessel date (May 9), and now vessel name.

These websites keep me updated as the Grand Neptune makes its way accross the pond carrying "VW commodities" including my GTS.

After going through the Panama canal, the port of call is San Diego (June 6). From there, the cars are
unloaded and trucked to various dealers in the West.

Needless to say, I am monitoring every nautical mile.

Suite! I bet you are jonesing to take the GTS for some runs down to Big Sur and along Pleasure Point. Congrats and the obligatory request to post pics when you get her.

 

Thanks for the kind words surfah. Car will live in Santa Cruz and be doin the 17. First trip LA to Santa Cruz for a spanking break-in run, then the long way to Raton, NM to drop my kid off at camp. Gonna push this car a bit in the beginning-my 2007 C4S responded well to a spirited break-in and barely consumed any oil over 55K miles.

 

Nice upgrade from C4S to GTS. I will be interested in hearing your opinion on going from 4 to rear-wheel drive.

 

That's how a Porsche should be properly introduced to it's new driver. Rep Points for you...

 

I bet you are counting every day now. I will let you know how's my pick up go after next week.

BTW, are you planning to go all the way on HWY 1?

 

Need to check out which parts of HWY 1 are open since slides....
