After what feels like a lifetime of checking for a window sticker...it's finally appeared! Nothing in ETIS yet, but at least I know it's got the right spec (well, apart from the wheels which are showing as basic black - which others have commented on in the past) and it's finally being built

Finally!!

Car was built and gate released, this week.
Phew!!!

Saw a couple in Vegas, looks superb and has a fantastic colour shift in the different light. I've had three blue cars, so time for a change this time, but I would have spec'd VB on what I have seen.

Saw my NFG yesterday at the dealer. Paperwork in progress, it then goes to my detailer for machine polish, detail and Gtechniq Ultra coating with ExoV4 and the handover to me is next Thursday! Getting excited!

Hi. Think it was Tuesday.

It's taken a while and has been a bit of an insight into the OEM/Franchise "relationship".

1st on dealer list, Oct 17
Order entered & printed off, Jan 18.
Order cancelled and re-submitted June 18
Built Jan 19.

Think I'll find the wait a lot easier, knowing it's actually built.

My car was gate released during week 3, 14th to 19th January.
Which ship do we think it would be on?

I would guess the Atlantic Sun or Sea, Sail could be doable but is a bit tight, depending when you were released

So, window sticker appeared last week (17th Jan date on the bottom) with Blend date 23rd Jan. Just had a text from the dealer saying it's about to be built soon, etc. Still nothing on Etis, but the window sticker now has today's date on the bottom (although everything else, including Blend date, is the same). Guess some event must have happened to trigger the date change and the dealer text...

It looks from the ACL scheduling information that Atlantic Sky was delayed as it now shows departed Baltimore 23/01/19 10pm. I have no idea how long it takes from being Gate Released to reaching Port but I've allowed 1 week from being built to gate released and a further 1 week to reach the port (please note that this is complete guess work!). In my case, it was built 03/01/19 so should be at the port from 18/01/2019. It therefore could be on the Atlantic Sky ( the delay may have been helpful).

Supersolo, do you have your exact build date ?

You are about right with the time it takes to get to port, gate release can very from days to many weeks depending if there is a hold on the car, this can be for many reasons, like bit missing on the line or changing or adding items like stripes etc, you will also get a hold when at the port for ship allocation, so allow extra time

Built 15th, gate released 16th.

Btw, thanks for posting the shipping schedule
