Am flying Delta LAX-AMS-LAX. See my other thread on most details. On booking through HRG (to get the $200 discount) I got hit with a $55 booking charge. Bummer. But it appears that the cost of the flight dropped from $946 to $703 when they applied the discount, so I am only out $12 from what I expected to pay. Attachment 1 is on voucher details.

Will drop my car off in Bremerhaven (where MBZs ship from) rather than Amsterdam, and take public transport to Amsterdam. I ran this by Herbert Haemmer and he advised that this would knock 10-12 days off receiving the car in the U.S.

Attachments 2-3 are on the insurance details. I am not staying past the 15 day included coverage period so I do not know what additional insurance would cost. In reply to question if the insurance covers taking a car on the Nürburgring; Apparently not -- specifically, "A.1.5.2 Insurance cover shall not be granted for losses caused as a result of participation in officially approved motor sport events, the aim of which is to achieve maximum speeds. This shall also apply to training and practice runs connected with such events. Any participation in motoring events not approved by the authorities represents a breach of obligation according to D.2.2." Note, as a lawyer I question if this might arguably even apply to breaking a set speed limit on the Autobahn. [N/A to me. I am taking an AMG GTR ring taxi around the ring the day before my car pick-up to get my speed fix.]

Other attachments are straightforward.

Updated ED calendar attached. I was originally scheduled (by MB) to pickup an E400 wagon on May 15, but about a month after I got the order confirmation, I got an email apologizing that they had a special event and I would need to change the date, so now I'm taking delivery on the 16th.
