Have you ever noticed that the gate is wide open on the left and side lot? Last time I was there, I swear all I needed was a hard hat and an orange safety vest.

I could have walked right onto the lot without anyone stopping me. They honestly don't seem overly concerned with security.

I don't know if you guys really care anymore or not. But I'm going to swing by the port in about an hour.

I'm getting really antsy just sitting around waiting for the dealership to tell me "keep waiting til next week". I feel like I've got to do something even though everything is out of my control.

So I'm gonna get off my butt and go see if a pile of cars showed up. I'll be posting my results shortly.

If it makes any difference to anyone, I plan on going by the port shortly. I'm going to have 10 - 15 minutes extra on my lunch so I'll swing by and see what its like today.

Yeah it was my friend who took the pictures of the brz, the managers are probably having a ball right now

I'm at the port right now and posting from my iPhone.

On the lot right now, not much has changed since last visit. Some of the cars are in the exact same spots and appear as if they havent been touched. I remember quite a lot of them since the last time I was here. But a few more cars have showed up.

On the lot right now are:

3 Raven Black
2 Asphalt Dark Grey
3 Whiteout White
3 Ultramarine Blue.
No other colours are present at this time. If they have any, they are not visible from the road.

One more thing to note, they either just got a shipment off a boat or they are getting ready to load them onto rail cars. They had 1 black or asphalt at the very front of the of cars which looked like they were being loaded/unloaded. I did not count this car in my totals.

Are you close to New Westminster? Theres a boat that arrived this weekend with my BRZ and (I guess) a bunch of others. The boat (Aquarius Leader) then went to the states, and is now going back to japan.

I live in New West, but er... don't even know where the docks are. Other side of the river from me probably.

Supposedly there is an issue with the users manual and the SRS section (they need to make an adjustment or addition to the manual). The delay shouldn't push back the official launch, but even if it does, it shouldn't be by more than a few days.
