Congrats! As much as I do love my car and wouldn't trade it back, I miss the diesel Audi I had. Diesels have an endearing quality.

Hate this part.

On a boat...due at port 5/30.

Looks like it is on the Salome

Influence · 05-23-2017, 10:26 AM

Finally got on a ship from South Africa:
Ordered 3/23
Build completed 5/3
On ship - Dignity Ace left on 5/21
ETA in Port Newark, NJ on 6/8

I'd imagine a bunch of us are on that ship. Looks like it is going direct to the US too

I've got some port install stuff (MPPSK, grilles, carbon rear spoiler) so I might get luck and have the car by 6/20. My dealer is only about 45 minutes south of the port, so that should shave some time off of things.

silvercas · 05-24-2017, 11:14 AM

193 at port and waiting for assignment I assume.

who else is with me on the TORINO?

Hoping spoiler/splitter/etc doesn't take too long at port install.

Build:
Alpine/Oyster/Ash
MSport/Track w/orbit grey 19" 442m
Tech/Lighting/Driver Assist
Mperformance Splitter (horizontal blade painted AW, fins black) /carbon spoiler/

I'm on the west coat, but my car's on the Tosca, which just hit the east coast. It seems to be on its way down to Panama. Why is my car on an east coat boat off the WW line? Seems...inefficient.

Saqs, great looking car. TB was my 2nd choice when I got mine back in 2014. Been enjoying the AB, but the TB itch is still there. Kind of reminds me of my Mystic Blue 330 ('04)

wonder how often they do a run of TB cars?
