A Little Perspective

"Some cars are just so satisfying that waxing poetic does them no justice."

Porsche transport problems!

Thankfully the news is good in that the 22 crew members of the car carrier Felicity Ace are safe. She's on fire and drifting in the Atlantic. But the crew was all rescued without injury.

So now my thoughts can turn to the idea that this will possibly introduce further delays into our dream. I mean the ship is loaded with - rumour has it - about 1200 Porsches. Now, not many of those will be 718s so that’s good. But the 718 is built on the 911 line, so if there were many new 911s that were needing to be remade…well…we’d get the shaft.

Not clear yet just what the downstream effects are, but I can definitely say I’m glad our actual built cars are not on board that ship. Now THAT would suck. Especially after having been at this since Summer 2020!!
