I tried not to post but i'm so excited i can't help it.
I am picking up a 2012 Turbo S on Monday from my favourite OPC.
The car has 850 miles on it.That is not a typo.
Super excited after two years of Gen 1 997 Turbo tip ownership.

Fabulous Xmas Pres. Congrats. Whats the rough changeover figure nowadays between gen 1 and gen 2 notwithstanding you've virtually bought a new car? Pics too pls!

Hi there Imi,

i put 25K miles on my gen 1 in two years,taking it up to 46K miles.
For speed and ease I just changed it at OPC who i think have looked after me well.I don't like selling cars privately and don't really
have the time to so i prefer to take the hit and minimise it by having a good relationship with OPC.
I like dealing with OPC Bristol and have been waiting for about a year for them to get the right car for me in stock.When i saw the unbelievably low mileage
on my new car i knew it was an opportunity too good to be missed.

Looks stunning. Big difference to a gen 1 tip IMO and absolutely rapid out of the box. Love it. Enjoy!

Thanks.I enjoy reading about your wonderful car and i came extremely close to going down the 9E route after reading your posts.You made an absolutely brilliant decision on the wheels and suspension.

Thanks buddy. I think you made the right decision to swap the tip out for a PDK and as you say where do you find a car with only 850 miles on it?! Almost a shame to put miles on her!

I know,i have already started wrestling with that dilemma but i bought my original Gen 1 for me and my son to do trips in as well as the daily commute
and i intend to do the same again.These cars are happiest driving.

Lucky boy... Would love a Turbo S, but happy enough with my Gen 1 for the moment. Aero kit and centre locks as well! Very nice. Agree with you about OPC Bristol they've always treated me well. Enjoy the new toy.
