Yup, lost contact 17 hours ago....lol.

Congrats, I hope you have a blast tomorrow getting your new 981. How far is Glenville from Charlotte?


Post pics, post pics...

For your viewing pleasure...
















BEAUTIFUL, absolutely.... I'm actually surprised. I passed on that color cause I thought it might be boring but IT'S NOT AT ALL.... that looks great and I love the solid gray interior.

I'm in the bodyshop business and I guess dealing with colors all day, I have a preconceived notion that I know what the car will look like but that's twice I've been wrong... the gray and the white. I love those colors but I thought they'd be too plain. They're not at all. I'm starting to second guess my red choice...lol.

Great job man, love the car... enjoy.

The pics of the interior don't really show the color very weil. In person it is a little darker and has a definite brown hue - which gives a very luxurious look. Frankly, it is a lot better looking than I had expected.

That's what I told my wife... the color of that interior has a very "rich" (not money rich) look to it. That and the red interior... (and my now most favorite, amber orange)



Very cool, you did well. Enjoy....

It didn't take but a couple of days to lose contact with the ship. Suppose to hit land in 4 days.

Hopefully it's not lost out at sea...lol.

We'll "sea"....

REALLY?? That's like leaving a kid in a room with a bowl full of candy and telling him not to eat any. (but of course you knew that!)




Glad to see someone got a red one.... now if I can just get him to post pics.

Ahhhhh shaddup!

It's all cool, I've been fine with it but as the time gets closer and I know it's only a day away from hitting US soil, I get more and more excited.

Oh well.... patience, patience.

Actually, I can't find the ship on marinetraffic.com anymore? Did it sink?

LOL... hope not... I don't have insurance on it yet...lol.


Once it hit the NC/VA border, it showed up as out of range. I'll bet that all you guys on the forum paid the ship's captain to turn off their gps just to screw with me...

It's a conspiracy I say, a conspiracy!!!
