Hi All,

My build date completion is next Tuesday, how long should I expect to wait for collection? the dealership are saying 2-3 weeks which seems along time.



Chris

Sounds about right.

Hey Chris, obviously things can vary but to give you an idea I had an email on the 24th July to say my car was completed and on its way to the port in Germany and by the 1st of August I was driving it home from the dealership ... not long for you now!

[Pinball]

Car’s going back to have the steering wheel changed. The leathers peeling off on the top, not sure how they missed it when prepping it. I pointed it out when I picked up after sitting in the car for a few minutes.

[chrisdawson83]

Hopefully shouldn't be long now! Received an email yesterday to say it had been completed and was ready to go to the Port.

Do Porsche give instructions on how long it will take to run the engine in?


Chris

[Dyffed]

I think it'd about 1800 miles.

I was told no running in necessary and just to make sure oil temp had come up to 90°. But I decided to start properly opening mine up once I’d hit 1000 miles.

Oil temp takes nearly my whole commute to reach 90° which is why I’ve stopped taking the Porsche to work so often

Opinion on running in varies, but consensus seems to converge on around 1,500 miles for run-in period.

Until that point keep revs below 4k.

As for 90 degree coolant temprerature, that rule should be stuck to as a general rule, not just during running in. Oil temperature is another matter.

Few pictures I've took of mine today at the Chateau Impney

GT silver?

[J.M.T]

Rhodium

The silver really does look good and I really dig the buckets. How are you finding them? I would have had them in a heartbeat had it not been for having to park my car next to my neighbours. I noticed that the driver's seatbelt is routed differently from the passenger seatbelt. Any reason?

Was at the Sheffield OPC panamera launch last night and they had a cayman 718 in crayon looked stunning !

[AJM6]

.....and finally! Yesterday was one of life’s better days.

To recap:
GT Silver
Espresso Leather with GT Sliver stitching
Satin Platinum wheels

Hope you like it!

[AJM6]

New to this image posting lark. Here’s another couple

[AJM6]

And finally the interior!

[Si-3PO]

The Espresso looks fantastic! Well done for daring to be different

[AJM6]

Thank you! I’m delighted with it!

[maidstonelad]

So after 11 months I collected mine today.

Big grin!

Got out early today and managed to take some better shots of my car. Crayon, Sport Design, black Carrera Sport alloys and a few other black exterior trim options :

That looks remarkably similar to the one Sam from SeenThroughGlass has just bought! Did you sell it? Or are there two that looks near enough the same?

Sapphire Blue 718 CS, Turbo rims, LEDs.

Cor! That exterior spec is 100% perfect! Give it some white leather inside and it would be my absolute dream!
