Nice, Viking Queen leaves for Houston in 2 weeks so hopefully you catch that one.

Yeah I seen that. Would have been nice if it made the Primrose Ace but that departed today.

Unfortunately Audi does not send an email when the car leaves Emdem, which is weird, and the system does not forecast which vessel it will get loaded on so you will have to keep bugging your dealer or Vincenzo to get vessel confirmation. The order gets updated with a ship number once the car has left port.

We're getting there. May not be as quick as we'd like but at least something is happening.

My wheels will arrive Monday, so that will tide me over till the car arrives. One will go under the tree.
Lol, that’s awesome! I contiplated buying my wheels but am just going to wait. Which wheels did you
go with? I was considering the RZ05’s which take a few weeks to build. Probably would be good to get ordered while I wait.

Some SE BBS LM in 20x10" ET22 with 285/30R20 Michelin PS4S.

Another member has done a set of RZ05 and look really good. BC Forged and lots of nice offerings and their delivery times are great.

It really bothers me that Mercedes and BMW already have their C class and 3,4 series out all over canada. Audi really needs to get the 4 and 5s soon.

My ordered S5 is quickly approaching it's 2 month anniversary at the port in Houston (10/23 arrival in Houston). This is getting ridiculous. I never imagined it as a real possibility that I might not have the car before the end of the year...really starting to look like that could happen. Starting to wonder how big this "port" area is and how many cars must be sitting there? #firstworldproblems

I was told that the 2019 A4/A5s were released last week from port and the S variants would be released soon after, I’m hoping next week. I too am second guessing my order process with Audi, atleast provide an explanation of the hold.

Wow - yours has been at the port for 3 months? Or are you talking since production complete or ordering? 3 months at the port is just crazy.
