Uber cars, how did you spec it up if you don't mind me asking?

Very good news, congrats

I must admit the 911 has never done it for me in the 'supercar' sense but I guess you've already been there, done that with the 575 and nobody can argue that the 911 is not an incredibly accomplished car with stacks of heritage and fantastic engineering.
You'd better post it on my new site.

I'm having a Tiptronic (faster than manual) with sports chrono pack, ceramic brakes lots of additional leather and carbon inside. It's going to look fab
Oh almost forgot. The stock exhaust is being replaced by a Tubi system straight away

Ceramic brakes

I like the idea of the ceramic brakes. They glow read when hot. Nice one Spie.

Factory -> Porsche UK -> Dealer. All by road with probably days of waiting inbetween trips and excluding weekends. Thats 10 working days.

Clearly making a big mistake with the purchase.
You should have gone to Stuttgart to collect it from the factory so you could run it in on the way back

Im sure we may see Spie acting like a hooligan thrashing his new Porsche around the OCUK Industrial Estate.

Then you put it on a ferry and that ain't happening, yet.
