Construction complete! Officially left the factory today to make her journey to port. VIN assigned and obtained.

MicaCeli · 03-15-2018, 12:05 PM

Much anticipation!!!!

DDR MFS · 03-26-2018, 09:44 AM

I was loaded onto Independence II as of today!

She just needs to take in her lines and get underway.

DDR MFS · 03-26-2018, 09:48 AM

Holy hell. Her track in AIS is already reporting at Southampton... Pushing 15 knots and all ahead full.

Damn.

SS is a nice color. It changes on hue depending on time of day. ZCP can be nice addition.

Congrats! It is almost home. I assume you live on the East coast? If so, you'll get your car almost a month sooner than I did. Navigating by sea to the West takes incredibly long.

Yeh, I was East Coast Navy and heard nightmares about canal passage; they either were super smooth or a complete s--t circus. My iS was delayed a month so I feel this is a little vindication for four months of total time from order to delivery.

She gets underway today from Southampton to Baltimore, and yeh, my dealership is DC Metro area.

What is going to suck is picking her up and driving her to get her Xpel and STek wraps... another 24hrs

DDR MFS · 04-14-2018, 07:01 AM

Picking her up in two hours!!!

Time to join the ///M family!

How/when did you learn your car had been loaded onto a ship? Did Genius tell you? If so, was it 2 days after actual load date?

My car is at the port waiting to be loaded onto a ship. Trying to figure the best way to stay updated. Thanks!

Monster of Munich! Bare bones, stripped, cloth, and 18s! Dream car, dream garage. Not kidding. MW looks grey in the rain. Classy as hell.

Loving it.

MicaCeli · 04-16-2018, 09:59 AM

Fantastic man!!! Hope to see you out in the wild, you going to any auto-x's?

So I am going to Summit Point in mid-May but not driving as I doubt I will have hit the break-in point, but after that, the plan is to really hit it hard.

Thanks so much! So amazing having this machine. The balance is silly and it feels like a NA motor despite being FI.

The MW is sick in foul weather. Looks grey, almost pearl. Just classy and subtle. Thanks man!

Excellent! I have a lot of breaking in to do and will be up there but not doing any events. Signed up for the driving tour to mile up the car.

Just got her back from getting the clear protection installed on the nose, mirrors, bonnet, and fender flares! Amazing job by Raja of Speed and Tech Motoring, LLC in Northern VA.

Amazing work and super flexible. She is ready to go!
