As adaptive comfort seats are frowned on along with illuminated door sills I did wonder if putting my suitcase in the back
I'm sure that is also frowned upon !!

I've got an engine in the back of mine, so I put the suitcase in the front.

Well, their limited to just 132 in the UK, so a fair amount of crinklies I suggest.

Sadly just over 300 suitcases were made but some had the audacity to add red stitching and handles that glowed in the dark
We all now they never sell well in the second hand market because everyone wants the basic suitcase that has those wheels that help make it go faster when you arrive late to check in

I believe there was a dealer fit only special for the Chinese market, carbon fibre handles and wheels with titanium roller bearings.

When did you lodge your LOI for the suitcase?

I've bought two suitcases in the past few years from my OPC but he's denying any knowledge of new suitcase availability? I paid a £3K deposit for one just in case.

Not sure why you'd want a Porsche suitcase, I certainly wouldn't fly with one as you know how airport staff throw around luggage.

The Porsche 918 Spyder luggage made me laugh, just image using that suitcase (certainly not form follows function)!

For a track-biased car, you'd think they could at least have got the hangar straight...

I too had a LOI with my OPC but have asked for my deposit back as may have found a LHD case in Germany. With the weak Euro it looks a bargin, although I accept I can only use it with my left rather than right hand. Hey ho.

I've recently sold my older suitcase and bought a newer suitcase and think that the stability of the newer case is much superior as it doesn't hunt out the ruts in the floor of the baggage collection lounge like the old one did, which would literally jump from one grove to another - you needed to be on top of your game to control it, but the feel through the handle was superb.

It was a toss-up though whether to keep hold of the older suitcase as the value of the suitcase is obviously a very important consideration, but in the end it was the prospect of the looming £10k refresh that the case would require shortly on new casters and bearings etc that swung the deal.........................

Artfully done...
