Looking at a car in Scotland, has PSE, sports steering wheel, red seat belts, 20" wheels and has only done 10k miles.

only downside is it doesn't have sport crono which means no launch control. Porsche Towcester have confirmed you can't "retrofit" it either.

Waiting for DMS Automotive to come back to me whether they can map launch control in.

Sold the Cupra.

Within an hour rang Porsche to put a deposit down on a 43k car in Glasgow with PSE, instead ended up putting deposit down on a 47k car with PSE, PASM, Sport Crono, Sport Design kit, Sports seat etc etc... Car is newer and has 2k less miles.

Stolen this photo from the Video Porsche sent me! annoyingly its still at the Porsche dealer than it was traded into, not at Silverstone. Was hoping to have it next week but it looks unlikely now!

What are they called? I want the multispokes that you see very often but I think they look spot on, not sure what they are called.

I have them on my 981, and they do look very good. However, they are well known to chip very easily from stones, as mine have now. Mine are covered in hundreds of tiny chips, and one large one. I like the 5 spoke ones a lot, and they would be my preference. Even easier to clean too. The rears are also 1/2" wider so probably fill the arches a bit better.
Carrera or the ones on mine?

Bought a Cayman already hoping it arrives this week, never been into soft tops so Boxster was never an option.

a week after placing a deposit on it, its still sat at the original dealership, surely by now the supplying dealership should of at least attempted to get it to them, wouldn't mind but the dealers are about 1 hour apart.

ohh post pics man?

Finally got an update, its still at the dealer because it requires a new windscreen, which will be done Wednesday, then it will be transferred to supplying dealer for cruise control and ceramic coating.

Very little chance of it being ready this week. So 3 weeks from deposit to collection is looking likely now.
