If it is, you are in luck, I've been so excited ever since I got the vessel name so I started tracking its every moves :D My GTS was born on 1/14/14 and left the port of Bremerhaven on 1/19/14 and SHOULD arrive port of Long Beach by 2/20/14.

Below is some vessel movements for your viewing pleasure hilarious

This was taken on 1/16/14 at Bremerhaven, that means my car and/or yours was somewhere on the terminal waiting to be loaded!

On 2/4/14 (Today!) it arrived at the Miraflores Locks at the Panama Canal

This was the first time seeing it moved! via the Panama Canal Centennial Bridge live Cam

Here it is entering the locks to be lowered, my GTS is somewhere inside its giant belly

Finally in the frame of its high res cam (at the highest point after chambers were closed)

This was the lowest point before the vessel started to move away

it is absolutely amazing to be able to see it move through the canal, I was really lucky, just at the right place at the right time to be able to see it crossing the canal. I really can't wait!

That's awesome you got to see that. Good luck in your wait, hopefully it goes by quicker then expected.

Thanks all!

For those that are interested in seeing how they load cars at Bremerhaven, came across this article where they went to visit Europe's biggest port few days after my vessel left!

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1391561201
BREMERHAVEN, GERMANY - JANUARY 22: Porsche cars destined for export overseas stand parked and waiting to be loaded onto ships on January 22, 2014 in Bremerhaven, Germany. Bremerhaven is Europe's biggest port for car exports, with over 2.1 million cars having passed through in 2013.

Lol!!!! It would give me an ulcer to have to wait and watch a huge cargo ship inch its way across the pond, then across the Panamera (intended) canal and then up the left coast to port. I would probably need to be medicated. And my wife would probably never talk to me again.

Anyway...Impressive research. You must have a background in catching the bad guys.

Very nice...i am excited for you! Can't wait to see pics of the GTS when it arrives.

C4 GTS Feb 5, 2014 05:02 AM

Very very cool!! It must be painful to wait but it is coming!! Congrats!! Definitely pictures when she gets here.

lol, thanks! It helped that I was working in the ocean transport industry before so this wasn't too bad for me :D


and thanks all! will definitely post some pictures once she arrives

now the boat just crossed Cabo San Lucas and will arrive at port of San Diego in 36 hours, according to my dealer, this is the last stop for my car, they will arrange transport from here instead of Long Beach!

it ARRIVED it ARRIVED! the port that is, the wait is getting unbearable knowing that it's sitting on California soil, I think 1 more week to go!

today must be a good day, Gnat's car finally out of the shop and mine arriving :D
