I got a red & black Porsche keyring (for each key).

On other thing, which came a few weeks after collection, was some glass plaque thingy stating the model of car, etc, purchased. Not sure where I've put it but should probably put it on my office desk and use as a paperweight or something.

Didn't really expect anything to be honest as let's be honest, when I purchased it (May time) they were literally giving me a 20k cheque if I wanted to flip it straight away (which I had no intention of doing, but plenty obviously did).

what did you get?
All the usual gear like the keyrings, plaque, photos etc along with some personal gifts for myself and my wife which were very thoughtful and showed the our salesman had took an interest in us.

Just the standard stuff, plaque, leather key rings for both keys, and an 'extra' PEC (as a sweetener due to delays in my car) which I did yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed. smile

Well mine isn’t here yet. And I ordered 9 months before you. So not sure it’s getting worse. Just they are now giving you a realistic date

I'm surprised, when did you get your allocation?

I ordered mine in Jan also. No date for me yet. You are not the only one. It seems the norm.

Ruby Star now is an optional colour on the configurator, not a PTS. How brave are you?!

Is anyone doing a post run in oil change. Not sure what oil comes in these days. Used to be a bit of mineral oil and you changed that out. 2 years seems a long time. Thoughts?

What's the mileage on your GTS folks? I've just tipped over 3000 miles yesterday since taking delivery on 1st Sept. To be fair, 1500 miles of that was the Germany trip to Porsche Factory and Nurburgring I did in it. smile

7 weeks in 299 miles. Half of that was collection and the other 3 trips to the gym and Starbucks! (The long way)

Seems Simon is a good name for GTS owners, I'm Simon also.

Had mine 4 weeks and done 270 miles. I've been away most of the time though but had it out today in the Scottish sunshine and I absolutely love it.
