so, I hear that the boat with the 4T stellas has already passed through here. If the source I have is correct, we should see them on the West Coast mid to late March.
fingers crossed. (still)

I never gave it a thought, I saw your picture and HAD to think........bosco wrote:shipping lanes.
I am no expert, but I am pretty sure its a shorter route than around the bottom of Africa.
Plus it sounds exotic.
Maybe not in time for ROM (I'll be there too!) but soon from what I've heard.Redcatjack wrote:Me too! In fact my deposit has been languishing in the hands of a certain MB member for the past year....Lovelandstella wrote:nope!Silver Streak wrote:Am I the only one still waiting?![]()
Sounds like maybe here in CA for ROM?
Repeating my standard mantra - hope for the best, expect the worst.
I think, I figured out why some of us(me) were confused. Previous conversations on Modern buddy about LML’s shipping routes to Genuine Scooter Company, made different assumptions. Mostly, we all found shipping westward from India as ‘Folly’ and Shipping Eastward from India to USA ‘made more sense’.Lovelandstella wrote:(emphasis added by loveland stella)bosco wrote:...I hear that the boat with the 4T stellas has already passed through [the Suez Canal].

...I really am confused...can I ask what you know of the course these scoots take from India?bosco wrote:shipping lanes.

Oh my! If they hit SJ same day (and why not?) might have a new iPad2 and new Stella in the same week. I am incapable of expressing my joy at this moment. I am just a little bit verklempt...SFSC wrote:Seven 4T Stella's will hit SF March 14th. Avocado,Creme,Red,Slate Blue and Dijon all will be on hand waiting for there Happy new owners to pick em up. Dozens more are on pre order. If a pre sale owner changes there mind about a color we may have one for sale March 14th. its been a long wait but am sure it will be worth the wait. All good things are worth waiting for.

Scratch that. Stella truck just arrived at NoHo Scooters! I'm going to try to make it by before close.ericalm wrote:I know SoCal dealers are expecting them tomorrow!

Sounds like it.
Congratulations Pesce,oh are you in for some fun.I noticed your Dealers email is from 2 days ago,have you got your Stella now? I wonder how many Dealers unhook the mileage cable so they can enjoy some pre-delivery riding before handing over the Stella to their new owners? Just kidding.pesce wrote:2010 Stella 4t
Email from the dealer on 3/14/11: (http://www.thescootshop.com/)
Congratulations! I just finished pulling them off the truck. We will be prepping them and should have the first ones ready tomorrow. I will make sure yours is one of the first. As soon as they are fully prepped and have been test ridden I will call you or send an email.

Nice shade of blue. Oh, and I also tend to haunt The Scoot Shop, myself, every once in a while. Sure wish I had the money for that Symba, even though it's the blue, and not the red one (they sold that).pesce wrote:Here is a photo of it in the shop
Congrats! About time an original deposit holder gets one!Silver Streak wrote:Woot! Just got word from Mark at MotoStrada that my red Stella 4T has arrived and been uncrated. He's going to swap out the Savas for me and get started on the pdi. Should be ready early next week.
I'm stoked!
