Sorry.
Not all of us are subject to those rules. I have been given exact timing during my entire build. When I was in Germany for my Project one order they even told me they were building my car later so it wouldn't have to sit.

My delivery info was given to me directly from the top. My E63S edition 1 will also be here in my garage shortly.

Impressive stable of cars. Looking forward to your initial driving impressions of the GTR.

I was told yesterday by Mercedes that it is NOT first in first out. They said, "Look... when you have 800 cars parked in a warehouse or lot bumper to bumper, they aren't going to go in and move all the cars to get to the one in the back that came in before the one in the front. They pull the cars out as quickly and as easily as possible and ship 'em out."

But who know. He could be making it up. And maybe it depends on the specific VPC location.

I can't speak for the east coast VPC but the 61 GT Rs in Long Beach are just about cleared out. Mine left the VPC on the 4th and is waiting for me at the dealer; I have two other friends in LA that ordered well after me (my car reached the US on 5/14) and they picked up their cars yesterday.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I am very hopeful that the VPC’s and dealers did their due diligence and the MB corporate vision of “Best Or Nothing” will prevail.

WE DESERVE IT!!

Best Regards

It looked good at the dealer prep center yesterday; I would have taken it home last night, but they needed to inspect and detail it and I didn't have time to wait. I'll go get it on Saturday.

Nice! That's almost exactly the same as what I ordered. Except a different color. And different wheels. Oh and different interior.... and no badges on the rear.

Common Sense. There was never anything to talk about this long anyways. Don't you get it that you all made an issue out of NOTHING?? This car was not promised in APRIL, it was promised to be available in later Summer/FALL. This is some of the most ridiculous reading like ever. All the misinformation that was spewed here made it that much worse. You all hyped yourself up for nothing, all because someone posted that the cars were shipped in April or May. It because a pointless and quite frankly stupid discussion after that due to all the constant speculation about everything. I guess you'd rather wallow in misinformation than no information at all.

As I said. My car would be delivered today.

I have been in this game too long, I know better than most on my car status.

Little sooner than your estimate of 11/1 or later.

Congratulations!!

Your planets were aligned perfectly.

Like the Long Beach VPC, the Baltimore VPC was cleared out in very short order after the very long awaited MB release was authorized. So your GTR floated in to town at just the right time.

I want to go to the casinos with you but I’ll still need to bring my rabbits foot along for my luck.

MEANWHILE, DOWN AT THE BRUNSWICK, GA VPC, CRICKETS.................

US or Canada? Was there a actual corporate bulletin document or is this just hearsay?

I got a text from my SA saying:

“Hey Serge hope your weekend is off to a nice start! Mercedes has announced that they’ll be giving two years of complimentary maintenance to the clients that have been waiting for a long time on these cars. “

BUT the free maintenance started when your car was checked into the MB VPC aka ROACH HOTEL 4-6 months ago to NEVER appear again.
