Received from my dealer today

I would drop you a quick update the status is (car has left the factory
today) so the car should be with me in about 2 weeks maybe less

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

I looked at the options and ticked everything I wanted :D

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 :cool:

Oh almost forgot. The stock exhaust is being replaced by a Tubi system straight away :cool:
 
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 :cool:

They charge you £800 for that :eek:

Then you put it on a ferry and that ain't happening, yet.
 
Car arrives at dealers on Thursday :D

Looks like I may have it at the weekend :cool:

Hi Spie, does your dealer do the driving experience days?
There is a dealer down here in Hatfield that brings all their new purchasers to Millbrook, for a two to three hour session on the tracks with a Porsche driving consultant. The new owners can then take their new purchase for a spin, (hopefully not literally), on the bowl, the alpine hill route, and the high speed handling circuit, so that they can get to know their purchase more thoroughly.

I still have the invite to the Turbo experience day. I keep forgetting about it :o

Spie, please please please make a decent video of it :D All the videos on the internet are useless. Get a mate to hold a video camera in the passenger seat and floor it on the motorway or something. I'd absolutely love to see a video showing the performance.

Good plan. I'll wait until the Tubi is fitted next week :D

Snapped yesterday at the dealers.

I collect in the morning :D
 
Tubi is being fitted on Wednesday. Should be good for around 20BHP making a nice round 500.

stunning car :D

are you more excited about picking this up or were your more excited when the rarri was being delivered?

weirdly, a bloke with a 996 turbo (around my parts) has recently chopped it in for an M5 like the one you sold to tom0!

Sadly, the excitement of picking up a fast new car fades when you've done it a few times, but yes, I'm still excited :cool:
 
A 911 full chat with a good exhaust sounds awesome. So does a V10 M5, V8 'Stang and V12 'Rari. The 911 has a very metallic, shrill sound which sounds far better in real life than the clip portrays.

Why are you still posting? The sooner you go to bed the sooner you can go pick it up! I'd have been asleep this time yesterday :p

Been up since 8am. Just about to have a light breakfast and then off I go. The sun is shining too :cool:

Oh, expect pics later :D
 
Just got back in. What a car. I'll post some pics in a new thread a bit later.
