Challenge for you with a Prize!

I received very exciting news today that my 997TT was put on a boat in Germany on 3/10 named the Green Grove and is estimated to arrive in San Diego on 4/4 (then it has to be put on a truck to Washington). I understand you can track your ship from posts I have read from you guys, but with the links I had I could not locate my ship.

Whoever can post the link with my ship status - I'll send you a Starbucks Gift Card (I work for Starbucks). Part of the fun is the journey getting there, right!

Thanks and let the challenge begin!

Thanks to each of you - I appreciate the links. I have most of these links already, but none of them actually "track" the ship - rather these just show estimated arrival date. I thought I had read that there was a GPS tracker that you could actually see where the ship was presently located? Does anyone know that?

Greta.....The link that I posted has a little icon representing the ship. Last night, it was off the coast of England. Today it must be between satellites...under the text "delayed position of the ship".....where the map of the world is....and the text "The current position is not available because the vessel is not in one of our covered regions at the moment" is.....this usually shows the ship icon representing it's current location in the world. This is what you need......

FSU-997TT and yrralis1 - send me a pm with your mailing address and I'll send your Sbux card! Thanks for the links.

It is still showing "no position available". I wonder how long it will be between satellites???

Isn't that the truth. However, with this toy, every night is Christmas Eve.

Sounds perfect - you have no idea! It is in the 40's today here and has been POURING RAIN all day, all week long. I will take you up on that someday!~

The closest I will get though to Florida for awhile will be Birmingham Alabama. I go there the first week of May to the Porsche Sport Driving School! I can't wait.
