Update on my car (white base model Cayman with PDK. No other options):
I stopped in at my NJ dealer and he provided me with this updated info (the car was ordered Aug 8):
Vehicle completion -09/18/2017 (actual date)
Entry port Emden -09/21/2017 (actual date)
Exit port Emden -10/13/2017 (expected date)
Entry port Jacksonville - 11/03/2017 (expected date)
Exit port Jacksonville (trucked to Atlanta) - 11/03/2017 (expected date)
I am currently scheduled to do the Porsche Experience around 1 December but the car was completed at the factory 4 days early so that may move things up a bit.
The expected dates above are all based on the original completion date of 9/22/2017.
I’m really looking forward to this but also, trying not to get too anxious. I realize that there’s some post-hurricane shipping issues in Florida right now that might affect all this.
Lots of people suffering down there right now so if my fancy car is delayed a bit, I can hardly complain. It is what it is.
Anyway, I’m keeping plenty busy. Today I went to a car show and sat in a 1-family owned 911 (2.7 Targa) that had a factory optional dictation machine in it (!?!?). The owner has all the paperwork proving it’s original (a “businessman's” option, apparently). A strange, rare option for sure.
Otherwise, I installed spare engine in vintage race car (MG Midget) this weekend.Tomorrow I do timing, check toe, mount new tires/wheels and load MG into trailer. Wednesday I watch grandkids. We’re heading to Watkins Glen on Thursday for a vintage race.
