Should be exiting the factory on 18th March...I'm like a kid at Christmas!!

Then it takes approximately 2 weeks to collection.....

18 way comfort seats (I need lumbar support)
GTS interior with silver stitching
Cruise
LED headlights
PDK
Metallic paint (probably white)
Bose
Rear wiper
Park assist front & rear
Telephone module
Light design package
Auto dimming mirrors

Think that's it....

[Paleridergbr]

LOL!

I ended up choosing agate grey after seeing a demo.

I managed to obtain almost 9% off the vehicle.

[Paleridergbr]

I'll just say one near to London!

Meanwhile, the said vehicle has now left the factory and is in transit....

My sense of anticipation is building!,

[Paleridergbr]

Hi Josh.

Note quite yet. The car is due to arrive circa 30th March at the OPC so if I'm lucky I'll get it 5th April!

It must be currently in transit!!

Officially they don't... But if you play the game.....


Then eventually....

Advised today that my vehicle has arrived at Sheerness, so getting rather excited now!!

Reg number also allocated so may even collect at the weekend if the OPC can PDI it quickly enough!!

[Paleridergbr]

Niiice !!

Fancy posting some pictures once you have the time??

[Paleridergbr]

Factory exit was 17/3 and it arrived at the dealer today apparently, so the OPC generally quotes 2 weeks...

[Paleridergbr]

She's arrived!!!

Picked porsche up Yesterday, although then had to drive through some filthy weather on the way home. Boy cornering is good though, even in the wet!

For me she's a hauntingly beautiful car. I'll just have to restrain myself during the running in period, and get used to a boot in the front of the vehicle rather than the back

that's stunning!! Agate suits it so much

I wasn't certain but having seen a white one ( my original choice against agate ) and the demo I then saw in agate, the second won hands down for me. White was just a little too "show-boaty" for me!

Now that I have the car it was definitely the best colour, for me at least.

Happy driving!

I'm sure you'll love yours too Josh!

They didn't really highlight running in. When asked the question they said don't bother. The manual is a little vague, but basically don't use high engine speeds for the first 1800 miles, and try to do longer journeys.

I'll endeavour to keep the revs below 4000 rpm until 1000 miles and then increase in gentle steps until 2000 miles. After that, game on!

Are you using VTS? Activated mine yesterday. Clever bit of kit!

Planning a Euro tour around the Alps in July with the wife. Should be cool!

I ended up using Admiral multi car insurance.

VTS for Porsche is the same service as cobra, so similar "lozenge" system.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures!

[Paleridergbr]

Good point. Fortunately I did go for Gap insurance. Also got my wheels covered and my excess via https://www.ala.co.uk although there are others out there...
