Woohoo. Glad to hear you can almost smell the paint work Rudy.

I had a call from my dealer today to tell me that my car's production date got bumped - one month earlier. Production now scheduled for end-July instead of end-August so I will have my new baby in late-September.

Even with the original planned August build/October delivery it still wasn't in time for Sports Auto for Australian deliverd cars, so I will have to live my fast shifting through everyone else on the forum for the next 4 years.
Can't smell the paint fumes anymore...now I just smell the sea air mixed with the diesel fumes of the "Emden"...

No, I'm going sport auto (which is why I had to wait until June production -- my lease was up in April...)
No beating -- she's still a blast and I'm trying to savor every last minute of my beloved SMG...

Hey Rudy Congrats!! I'm liking the Alpine white more and more I think my next one I'll go for that color.

One question how come you decided to not get the SMG....I've read some stuff on the upgrade so I'm assuming you like it more than the SMG?

Regards,
P

SMG no longer available. If it was, I'd have gotten it in a heartbeat.

The sport auto, if it performs the way it was billed, should be the next best thing...

As of right now, the port of Charleston does not show it currently docked. The Emden stopped reporting it's postion via the VOS system (Voluntary Observing Ships) yesterday probably because it's so close to shore.

I imagine it'll be docking soon at the Union Pier terminal...

It should be early next week -- I'm not sure but the earliest it would even hit the dealership is today but I'm not counting on it...
