It's now more than 2 years since I took delivery so I thought I'd update this thread. The car is now showing 16,000 miles - Reading tell me it's the highest mileage car they look after. It's been very reliable - only a few minor campaign items and nothing reported by me. I've mainly used the car for touring on the continent plus some alpine driving as well as trips to North Wales and Scotland. It's an excellent tourer partly due to a decent boot with a fitted Rimowa XL case and garment bags behind the seats. It's pretty firm and noisy (in a good way) compared to say a Turbo but it brings sense of occasion to every drive. Truthfully, I'm not sure what I could replace it with that would do the job as well.

Thread revival time. smile

I haven't seen my 918 for 2 years due to Covid travel bans in Australia. At last our leaders have announced we can go abroad again. I've been reduced to keeping an eye on the car via the Porsche Connect app while the excellent folk at my storage move it on its tyres occasionally. I'd like to sneak in a visit before Christmas (doubtful) and a road trip to Cap Ferrat in March if all goes well.
