Another White one on the back of a transporter this morning on the M180. The only car to have a cover over it.

Next one I see is getting hijacked. wink

Let's hope not as it may be mine - October completion date given to me today - can't say more than that due to the hijack security risk smile

BTW - anyone know how many sailings there are a week from Emden - not that I'm getting excited or anything !

Anyone else think Porsche should have had the decals on from Design ? Had 3 mates with 991RS's also fit them recently .. To most eyes they complete the car;

I can of course be paid off to escort it securely hehe

I do enjoy seeing them though, brightens the day up a little.

Congrats on the completion date!

Mine completed on 25/9 and I'm told they load the ship up every Thursday and set sail at the weekend. Car is expected at the OPC next Wed for a Fri collection. A little bit excited now smile

That's annoying - both completion dates are a Friday - I guess that's the definition of "missing the boat" - I am really excited now too - I never try to think about it too much until this point just in case something went wrong - but so far so good . It's going to be a long week for you ! smile

I couldn't have the spoiler uprights black in my spec so until either silver spare wheels arrive or black uprights come I did mine. 400 miles done and another trip to Goodwood tomorrow

Did they do a martini livery sticker pack from factory on these? Saw a 991 or 997 GT2/Turbo in white driving through Hitchin the other day so just curious

Has any owner on here driven their GT3 RS at the Nordschleife yet?
I read some reports that the car is too low and rubs a lot because the suspension is too soft. One guy took his RS to the track and found that the car bottomed out several times per lap, the mesh below the front wheel housing louvres was destroyed by tyre rubbing and various faring around the wheel arches were also destroyed/ripped off due to tyre contact.

The replies suggest he's not the only one with those problems.
Just something to check mind, I wouldn't want to ruin a shiny new GT3RS on the track because a couple of cars were delivered with wrong suspension settings or whatever.
