Let's keep this thread focused on the job at hand.

A number of GT3 owners have been in touch with me and I'm collating all of the information into a spreadsheet. Some owners from other markets would also like to join in and they're welcome. Collectively the more owners/depositors we have, the more leverage we have. Right now for the UK alone we're knocking on £2.5m worth of cars and there are still many who haven't PM'd me yet.

With customers from other markets included, the value will be significant and the objective will be to focus attention directly at PAG rather than PCGB or OPCs. At the end of the day, they receive their instructions from Germany and they can only do what they're told to do. Hopefully we'll get a satisfactory result out of this for everyone.

Let's not discuss specifics/details online but keep that offline.

Keep the PMs coming. Thanks.

Apolo, you have access to top legal bods (I think I read that on the other thread) - why don't you use your people since you are probably the most passionate richest of this disenfranchised group.
EFA hehe

Modo66 - I haven't received your PM so please send it again. Thanks!
Scott Parker - waiting for your PM once you're back from the beach.

OTHERS
Many others have PM'd me but not specified they have done so on this thread. I will endeavour to send a confirmation email to everyone but I suggest that you register your interest here on the thread as well. If Modo66 hadn't posted to this thread, I would not have known to expect a PM from him. It also represents a collective show of force that we're getting together as a group. Please direct attention to this thread with other owner/depositor PHers who are posting on the main 991 GT3 thread and let's increase our numbers. Thanks.

Do not take litigation with Porsche lightly. Group action could drag on for longer than the period you own the car and whether you win or lose costs could be greater than any compensation.

That said getting everybody together to present a case is the best approach. Hell get Hammond on board too...

There's a distinct difference between the expressions 'group action' and 'class action'. Group action does not mean legal action, it means action as a group. In the first instance, we just need to get everyone together. I hope that clarifies the situation.

Reasonable expectations, no disappointments and you keep faith with the product. If you did not care for the product, you would have bailed out already - only the faithful remaining.

Enjoyment of the car is No.1 priority, litigation ((i.e fools game) can happen in the background.

I didn't want to be presumptuous that the people who have PM'd me but hadn't commented on the thread would want me to reveal their identities. Apologies if you thought I'd left you out because, rest assured, you're on the spreadsheet! smile

I'm doing my best to maintain discretion therefore I'm only collating the names on this thread of those people who have openly declared their support. I encourage everyone who's contacted me by PM to also make their support known on this thread. It helps ensure that no PMs go astray as I can cross check support on the this thread to my PMs.

Sorry DAEDALUS - you're definitely on the list now.

Macca brought to my attention that a number of Rennlisters want to join us so we've posted a similar thread over there. This is fast becoming a global collaborative effort resulting from Porsche's poor handling of the situation. The more the merrier. Thank you for your support.
