I'd be up for it, I nominate Birmingham as the venue as it's the middle of the country.

And where I live.

Pretty happy with the car;

2012 Car
Carrara White
Black Spyder Wheels
PDK
PCM
PSE
Buckets
Xenons
Chrono
Automatic Air Con
Sound Package Plus
Universal Audio
Floor mats

Also, the car was bought as an Approved Porsche car in April 2014, so it has Porsche Warranty till April 2016.

Nice spec - apart from the Playstation gear shifts.

Ha!

Well, as I found out, you literally can't have everything it seems, unless you timewarp back to 2011 and order one new!

On another positive note, the front end is fully Paintshielded (if thats even a word) too!

Yes that is right. When I bought mine I had a list of "must haves" and a list of "would likes". The must haves were firm but I tried to get as many likes as possible. As you say, it is virtually impossible to have everything you want if you didn't buy new. The spec of mine is very similar to yours:-

2012 Car
Carrara White
Black Spyder Wheels
6 speed manual
Short shift
Cruise control
PCM
Phone Bluetooth
PSE
Buckets
Sports Chrono
Automatic Air Con
Bose Sound Package
Universal Audio
Floor mats
Cup holders
Rear park Assist

Congrats to new CR owners everything comes to those who wait eventually well done.
A CR meet would have to be more south for me.
But we could start up a photo of each owners car to start with here.

[Sarnie]

I'm not sure my car has ever seen a clay bar!!!

[tracydeedance]

Make sure its not to cold to clay bar in this weather it can cause paint damage if its a must clay job put the clay in hot water to make its soft with lots of lube.
Personally I would wait until warmer weather in spring to avoid damage.

PDK CR`s arent the same future collectors cars, hence they are not babied the same way

[tracydeedance]

Try a couple of pics of my car to start off

Turbo wheels but a lovely colour and high spec otherwise

[Sarnie]

Has no AC and had been on the PH classifieds for about a month at £39,999..................spoke to JZM at the start of the week and they said they'd been offered this car but turned it down purely because of the lack of AC and wouldn't even consider another without AC after having a few they they couldn't get rid of..............

Thats a lot of cash just for something like AC, imo.....

[FrankCayman]

How much for a set of Spyder wheels too? Factor in the price for those and fitting a/c....plus selling the Turbo 2 wheels on eBay, it might add up ok?
