Ben916 you are correct. Her arrival is anxiously awaited. I plan to document her arrival at her new home and perhaps visiting some key locations around the Motor City area.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately the time constraints associated with when Bobski had to ship the car by meant there wasn't much time to do something like that. As it was the wife and I were going to fly over to there a couple weeks ago to drive it around the Frankfort countryside. However by the time the deal was finalized the airfares had doubled and our work schedules didn't allow for going again until next week, but that is when Bobski is leaving Germany.

However I will be satisfied with just owning such a vehicle and having the pleasure of driving it everyday.

At the present the "Good Ship" Integrity is in the Port of Southampton, so I guess if there is some one in England that could run down there and dump a set onto the ship they might make it here :)

Ruergard,amanda, Ben916, and all

Thank you for the encouragement and the welcome. The Integrity has just left the Port of Southampton and is heading for Baltimore. I will post updates and pictures when Bobski's RS6 arrives.

We expect Bobski's RS6 to be in the Detroit area sometime around January 10th, so a few more weeks of anxious anticipation.

Now that would be sad. Fortunately the vehicle is insured, but I wouldn't want to repeat the search for a vehicle as good as Bobski's.

Ship carrying Bobski's RS6 spotted off the coast of Nova Scotia. At this rate I would estimate arrival in the USA to be Christmas Eve! ;)13308

Can't ask for a more timely arrival. The ship carrying Bobski's RS6 arrived the Port of Baltimore at 2130 hrs Eastern Standard Time on 24 December 2012!
