Was going to be 1st March but completing on new place and work that day I can't get out of, then NYC day after. So prob when I get back, around 10th March!

Hope the new place has a nice garage - 1 bed, 9 car garage ??

[TGETV]

Haha, no. Slightly higher on the bedroom front, devastatingly lower on the garage front.
My priorities are clearly all wrong!

Just seen the white car in Hatfield’s showroom, first one I’ve seen. Very happy I’ve gone with white, just perfect. Their car has privacy glass so loses the LWG, priced at £95k

The rear side windows sound as if they are plastic on this car, if you tap them

Must just be rear privacy then

That was to have been my car but was an early build before Porsche UK realised the lightweight glass (v privacy) and DAB issues with the configurator. I've sat in it and it's incredible; have had regrets passing it on.

My new build arrives early May, I hope. Will be one of the last due to the 5-month Zuffenhausen closure.

Just out of interest was your car specced to £95k?

No. I guess you noticed the electronic price tag thingy next to the car.
My spec was RRP £85,576 + Options £13,390 = £98,966 + road tax £1,255 = £100,221.

But the total on the showroom display is £95,221. That's exactly £5k out.

Clearly the sum on the display doesn't add up but if someone gets it for £95k, and provided it's the spec they want, then that's a relative bargain!

Went to see my car in the flesh on Saturday, loving all I see, especially the interior stitching and the co-ordinated grey of the mirrors, wheels and side decals.
Just need to get Porsche to sort the LWG / DAB issue now before I take delivery ! The side windows didn't tap like normal glass but didn't check against a 'normal' car.
Anyone got any info from their dealer if they're promising a retro-fit/swap out of LWG/DAB ?

Loving the picture of the car with Ribblehead viaduct in the background.

I think mine will look very similar - it is due to be built on Monday I think. Getting quite excited again now!

Looks like the T suits the Yorkshire Dales/Forest of Bowland. Won't be long before mine will be on those roads. Are you local to the area or travelled up for a drive ?

I blast up to Hawes for breakfast reasonably regularly. Early. Before the traffic builds.
