Hi all,

Anyone else been invited to this by their OPC? Think it's running for another week. Went on Friday thanks to Porsche Tewkesbury. It was a great day starting with a full English(German) breakfast then had a 30 minute talk with the Porsche engineer responsible for the 991.2 chassis who had flown over from Porsche HQ. We then got to drive Three 991.2 cars. C4s pdk, C2s manual and base C2 pdk. (About 20 mins each car) Imo the car has lost none of its character over the 991 infact I would say it improves in almost every area. The steering is a big improvement (much more feedback) interior/ pcm much improved and the engine has so much more torque than the old car (turbo) One of the cars I drove had the sports exhaust and sounded lovely. Think I may even be temped to place an order!!

If your going or have driven the 991.2 would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for a great day Porsche.

Also heading to the PEC on Monday courtesy of Tewkesbury OPC. Taking my daughter along too and she is very excited. I think I will be taking the Mazda though if the weather is anything like it was yesterday!
So nice to meet you and your daughter at Silverstone today. You both looked like you were having a great time together. Sorry I rattled on about my car, ownership has become a bit of a life changing experience. smile
How was it Rob?
