I went on Monday so no it wan't me.

If the car is that good I will keep it for probably 4 or 5 years so will enjoy all the extras over a long period of time.

If we don't gel I may regret it! lol :-)

Mine has ended up at a hefty £84k and there is nothing I really want to drop from the spec - I'm buying this to use and enjoy over a good few years so want it to be right for me

I was at 73k with my original spec and now I'm bang on 80k - However, I've got everything I want on it and I honestly feel this car can justify that price tag

That's my thinking - if you could sell the car for what you paid - why NOT have everything you want?!!

(Assuming of course your motivation is not to maximise a profit.)

Wonder what OPC's will price these at in the secondhand market? £85/100k.

I'm not trying to think about that, the only thing on my mind is "I can't wait until this car arrives and then take it for a very long twisty drive" biggrin

Thanks - I hope so!

As far as I know no-one else has ordered a GT4 in this colour. ;-)

I popped into Nottingham OPC today. They had a Sapphire 991 GTS outside - looked cool with black rims and red calipers. They also had a Sapphire Cayman (think it was a GTS) inside the showroom and that also looked VERY nice. Sapphire is a stunning colour in the flesh and works very well with the red calipers.

Hmm maybe sapphire with black wheels and red callipers and stitching then though I feel yellow works better

Not blue - don't worry. My choice came down to Voodoo or this ... ?

Just back from FOS . Had a good look at the 2 yellow cars on display and the white car held in reserve in the campsite . Both looked great .

918 buckets have grown on me massively , much deeper than I remembered .

1st time I've heard one ran in anger and sounded great to my ears . No quieter than the GT3 RS that followed it up the hill .

Discussed bucket situation and it is simply the supplier not keeping up . They expect the supply situation to be resolved hopefully before October .

Folding buckets haven't been type approved with cage which is why clubsport cannot be spec'ed with them . Problem is how the air bags would be impacted due to cage .
