So now that I'm behind the rest of you I don't know when I'm going to get it. I was going out there next week to get it and I'm going to be mighty upset if I'm out there without my car.
But if it is there it's going to be a GREAT ride home!

SECOND THOUGHT QUESTION
How long does it take to unload a train full of cars. There is only a 6.5 hour difference in the arrival times. Time to move one train in, unload, move the next in???
Any way we can track these after they arrive at the auto yard?
I was told 7-10 days from landing to being on the island. Sound right to anyone?

A buddy of mine's father works for CN at they yard. (Last night he called in to confirm our rail car was arriving.)
Anyway, according to him, the unload the rail-cars ASAP to get the cars back into service.
Anyway, when he gets in this morning he's going to see if he can track down our rail cars (I gave him the number) and/or find a batch of unloaded RX-8s. He's going to give me a call and let me know either way.
I'll keep you guys updated as I am.

Congratulations gentlemen your babies are home.
Let me know if it was worth the wait.
Have a good day.
BTW no other VINs are matching but apparently at least two were already unloaded in MTL so unfortunately I don't really know what the deal is

I'm trying to line up some of the guys who work for me in Dartmouth to drive by and get some pics ... too close ....
Pooch - same offer stands if you ever find yourself in St. John's, there's a Smithwick's tap at Erin's pub with your name on it.

Erin's? Nice choice.
I've been kinda partial to Bridie Malloy's (sp?) since they opened that up, but pretty much every bar there has it's appeal.
That reminds me, I haven't been to St. John's in a couple months...

Bridie Molloy's is St. John's version of the Old Triangle (minus the outstanding live entertainment 7 days a week @ the Triangle). A nice enough pub, a little synthetic for my taste.
If you're coming to St. John's (or Halifax for that matter) you may as well experience the real deal as opposed to a synthetic Irish pub you might as well find in Houston or L.A. Erin's is among the last of a dying breed in St. John's .... if you ever consider driving to St. John's, give me a shout and I'll introduce you.

Well, to be honest.. I kinda liked Bridie's because it reminded me of the Old Triangle. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
You are right though, for somebody coming from out of town, looking for the authentic experience, you need to go to a place like Erin's, or in Halifax, a place like O'Carrol's.

Here's a quicky.
I'm noticing that a lot of cars I've been following and that never appeared online have arrived (Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City so far) so don't get discouraged when I mention that your VIN hasn't appeared because it's obvious now that a lot will never appear in CN's system.

My dealer here in Montreal said he received a red GT 6s he called a "press car". I will go look at it & sit in it tomorrow morning before it drives off. Mine (a Titanium GS AT) is supposed to be here this week & released next week. I'm excited, but let's all hope that I will fit in it (I'm 6' 3").

Here is an update for the last car. I expect it to arrive on Sunday night. Look for another update then.
My friend just came back from vacation yesterday and spoke to his dealer who said his car had arrived a few days ago and was now sitting in their garage but they don't want to deliver it until next week around Wednesday. It's now obvious that the other twelve VINs will never appear in the CN system.
As a result my posts will soon be ending. As of today, I'll quit checking the other twelve. If you're one of the twelve, put pressure on your dealers because your car is probably already arrived.
I will come back every once and a while so if you PM me your VIN I'll gladly check it for you.
Finally, look for a new post with pictures called "Miss Z meets Miss RX-8" coming ASAP.

My dealer, who had been saying that it was showing as "in stock" (presumably in Toronto), now says my GT has gone back to "RAIL".
Who knows when it will arrive now, probably at least two weeks...
