My build date is 11/04. I took delivery of the car up in Houston on 11/26 (saw the car at the dealership on 11/24). It's incredible that the car could be built in Germany, shipped across the Atlantic, and shipped from Florida to Houston in just a couple of weeks.

My build date is scheduled for the last 10 days of
February '05 and expect the car in March/April. I'm
currently at B3 status so I know I'm close. With the
weather here in Reno-Tahoe it would be in the garage anyway, but come spring I should be on the road-YEA!

ANY Earlier build dates??

Anyone out there with a build date earlier than mine 07/04 ???? I have a feeling mine may have been one of the first built- and perhaps a test car since it had milage on it at purchase.
