The touring isn't for everyone taste judging by the previous posts.

But for me its my favourite car
I have the RS with the wing, cage, PDK and buckets
I have the GTS with rear seats and PDK and comforts
I have the touring with no rear seats, manual and buckets. completely fits my needs, I never need people in the back, just the dog. the dog likes no rear seats as his bed fits better..
My wife likes it because it doesn't shout 'look at me'

I would say the Silverstonecar looks expensive, but get it bought. its really bloody good fun. :-)
And really, who cares about no PCCB....
Same here: 7.2 3 for the Mezger and narrow body, 7.2 RS for celebrating Porsche coming 12th overall in the N24 with a stock car bar slicks, and the Touring for enjoying a sensational engine and sharp handling in what looks to the public like a vanilla 911

The 992 has lost me so far. Let's see what AP pulls off

I really really wanted a new RS WP but at number 4 i just missed the cut,cryI'm really not bitter and twisted because i didn't get one weeping, really i'm not mad
I only wanted one as i wanted to see what the world is like more than 15 miles from my safe house. My air cooled 911's factory warranty only ran out 45 years ago and when it breaks down i don't want to be left on my own in the dark yikes The lights are like a pair of candles and i really really want the latest sooper dooper LEDs like on the new RS which i'm really really not bitter about..
I'd buy my pal's flipped RS but i can't as for £240K i'd expect a full £10K PPF in the deal.laugh
Its not just folk on here who are cutting up rough about missing out on the WP GT3RS Taffy yikes

How do you know no bose on the nardo,
If i'm not very much mistaken this is a car forum..Most of us share pictures or talk about cars we own, its why we are on here in the first place..I'd much rather post about driving cars which i own rather than make fun of everybody else's posts..Its not bragging at all just sharing the joy of the nice cars we are all so fortunate to own..Bragging is going to your local pub and announcing to everybody time and time again which i never ever do.bigmouthIn fact only a handful of local people know i've got a new RS and that's only because they've seen me drive it..
As the old saying goes about people who live in glass houses not to throw stones.laugh
I'g guessing the Nardo RS at your local OPC neither has BOSE or Auto dim mirrors and auto wipers as neither are mentioned in the advert..I think it was eagle eyed Cheib pointed this out on a recent thread..I have BOSE on mine as i was advised by my sales guy to choose it, personally i'd have left it off as i'm not an audiophile by any stretch..The missing Auto dim mirrors and wipers would grate me much more as they should be standard on a £240K RS..As Cheib correctly pointed out it was specced for flipping and not to own..
Robbo's RS WP looks fantastic and reminds me how much the Aurum Mag wheels contrasts so nicely with the Black paint.My Black RS is hard work despite having front PPF and Ceramic coating on the Black body as it still shows every blemish...Should have gotten a GT Silver one for this reason alone.
Nardo looks good on the RS but lack of the aforementioned options would stop me paying silly overs on it..All IMHO..

Dont take it personally or be offended, i was just stating he prefers not to brag about it or expose it to the world,i was not implying you do.
I thought re the bose you would know from looking at the photos,so it will have music but just not bose.I thought auto wipe etc was standard along with the plastic ducks.
As said the nardo is looking better and better,might even go and look,its cheaper than most have paid for there car with all the extra purchases,trying to be number one buyer etc.If its also paint to sample what would the retail be on it new?taff.
Juno is one of the few plus hunter who did not sucombe to the extra purchases to get a allocation.
My attempt to get a gt2 did not happen as i was not prepared to chop my 997rs in or any other requests.

Best colour on the RS WP IMO..I washed mine last week after coming back from Silverstone as it was absolutely filthy..Even with Gtech Ceramic coating the flat Black showed up every mark or smudges.. Black looks the best when spotless as Robbo's picture above shows but a real bicensoredch for keeping it looking its best.

I've no idea how much PTS was on the RS..It must be bloody expensive on the WP car as half the body is bare carbon anyway..List on the Nardo RS would be around £176,500 excluding tax and whatever the PTS cost..PTS cars will always be worth more by about £5K unless its a horrid colour IMO.This Nardo RS won't have any PPF fitted as the original owner doesn't see the value, for now obvious reasons..smile

I was looking at the Nardo one yesterday, while waiting for tyre to be fitted, looked really nice. They had a yellow WP parked outside the front as well......common as muck round these parts.
