Im REALLY hoping that UK owners have PTS, or some have at least, saw a render of a green/mint RS and have to say it looked rather lovely, wouldn't mind seeing one in riviera or mexico blue either. Of the standard colours I would personally go white as not a fan of the others, bit annoyed they only offered 4 colours from launch.

Enjoy the lava orange car though Im sure you will have great fun on the road and no doubt the track!
I am not in the UK but i have my RS confirmed to be painted in Maritime Blue. i considered Riviera, Mexcio and Voodoo but liked the sometimes Violet tinge (to my eyes and under certain light) of Maritime. I am also old enough to have seen 964s and 968s in this colour and loved it. As and when I return to Blighty the RS and its garage companion Scud will come with me.

Not entirely sure, another Ph'er (Harris_I) did he same thing last year. Wasn't too expensive, just time consuming.

I'm sure you'll be able to pick one up - can't see all the 918 boys holding on to them - I guess the challenge will be the level of overs . Seriously though , it's an amazing bit of kit smile

LOL, not guilty! When mine comes over it will stay.

My summer of noise is spent in a 1998 Polo 1.4CL Automatic. The noise is more asthmatic washing machine than amything else...

Must say I think the silver looks really good in the flesh, in the showroom at least :

That was actually the Dick Lovet car in Swindon a few weeks ago.
Only colour I haven't seen is UV, they had one in Edinburgh but I wasn't allowed to look at it - owners instruction apparently.

The OPC not Porsche were acting on the clear instruction of the customer! No doubt who had a very personal valid reason for making the request!

The unconnected remark as to where the brand is going could be answered simply by saying" onward and upward." Porsche continue to be the World's most profitable car company! I cannot see that situation changing for the forseeable future.

Sounds to me like you own the company !

My little girl would have been so disappointed that the sales guy wouldn't have allowed her to have a sneaky look - Kid's are like that !!
