Okay so.. My car has left Zeebrugge in Belgium and is on its way to Finland. Funny thing is, the union running for example the harbours in Finland is on a strike until further notice. I assume the queue of ships to be offloaded is growing day after day and my car will be stuck for ages.
GR Yaris Ooooo! An update!

Strike is over, harbours are open and fully operational in couple of days and mine is now in Malmö too! The harbours were closed for ~2 weeks so there is a slight chance we will get our cars still during March!
Mine just arrived on Thursday to Hanko and being prossessed fast for delivery to the dealer hopefully by monday-tuesday. The dealer has been so extremely helpful and cool that he even sent a mail to the actual person responsible for the import and delivery of cars here in Finland, asked them to prioritise my car and cc:d me in the message. They will fast track it and I should be able to pick it up by the end of next week. Now that is what I call customer service…

lucky if you get fast delivery! I had to wait for 2 weeks from Hanko to Dealer, I think it is bit matter of luck how it fits to their schedules.
Great to get more GR's here... What spec do you get?
Ive posted this elsewhere on the GRY run numbers thread but thought relevant here.
An observation, between 25 may 2021 and 24 June 2021 the VIN numbers had jumped 1,378 places, between 20 Jan 2023 and 20 Feb 2023 the VIN numbers moved 32 places! To check if this was an anomaly I then did 20 October 2022 to 20 February 2022 (a period of 4 months with Christmas / new year) and 1097 VINS /vehicles were produced / delivered or 274pm. Obviously there’s a 6-8 week disconnect between manufacturing and delivering but it reaffirms that -production has slowed down considerably.
At that current rate and taking the highest known VIN of 22456 then that’s 9 months of production left (take off 2 months for factory to dealership) so September 2023 looks to be last deliveries.

A red racing pack. I just saw the red in the sunshine and had to get it and the racing pack was not even a question. Tried both before buying on icy b roads and the handling was day and night.
Now just thinking whether i should get the lazer lights assembled behind the front mask. What do you have?

Plain white with racing pack and led bar so can share some insight at least on mine setup.
