Happy Friday gents!

The PPF completed today and my car is finally back.

Here’s a video of how it’s looking.

Congratulations, that’s very similar to my car.

Looks great, enjoy.

Confirmation from my SA this lunchtime to tell me my car has FINALLY completed build, left the factory, and apparently it's on the way to Emden!

Great news! Not long now to wait….

Is your SA able to provide you with the ship details so you can track it across the channel? I wish we had the tracking ability like they do in the states.

Sadly not, he said he's going to let me know once the system says at Emden but TBH the system dates/view is so far behind that once he knows he said it'll probably be in the UK anyway. Since my previous post the Wednesday before the jubilee when the car was supposed to go CP8, the system apparantly hasn't updated/confirmed for any of their orders, and the OPC had to email central vehicle planning to get updates.

It's all suddenly started to get very real though.

Thanks, really happy with how it’s turned out and the overall spec of the car.

Will yours be a GT4RS version?

No I’m not lucky enough to own a gt4rs!

This is my one.

Lovely spec! Satin Aurum look great on black callipers.

Would have loved a GT4RS, fingers crossed my name gets selected one day!

Doesn't look so different from the steering wheel on my 981 GT4 at 14,000 miles. I think you'll be OK.

As Nigel Tufnel would say, "none more blue". I must say, they really do look great in blue. Hope you enjoy. (Serial Carrara White Cayman buyer that almost grew a pair, but then when I bought my last one, no blues available the configurator...)

Thanks Liam. Really happy with the colour choice. I think they look great in most colours when spec’d right.

Agree, I saw a American one with the standard red callipers in shark and aurum, but I thought there was to much going on.

I would be interested ??

Hi, happy to have a conversation about the car. Rich

Briefly - what's the spec on yours? Colour, gearbox, miles and 'big ticket' options will do bud - don't need to know if it's got the storage net or not...

Cheers,

David

Hi David, shark blue, PDK, Chrono, silver stitch, aurum wheels, black callipers, Carbon interior, Clubsport and Carbon Seats,

Anyone have a rough idea how long after CP8 it takes for the build picture to appear in the app?

Mine never appeared, think it's something to do with which production line your car was on, only the main Stuttgart line currently has the build photo capability.

I was told I'd get a photo of it on the app once production finishes like you see with the GT3's, but it never happened for me so I assume it's only for 911's.

Could be wrong though and just be unlucky to not get the photo.

sorry newbie question here - what is this 'app' you speak of? something the OPC sees or actually something accessible by the end consumer? cheers!

No app just ask your sales guy to print out your order progress on his system. No dark art..

PTS Aston martin racing green 718 gt4, blimey!

i don't think it particularly suits it, but its quite something.

[Twinfan]

That's bloody awful

And is ridiculously over priced.

[av185]

Yes clearly a joke price. If anything the insipid 'Aston pts' colour detracts from saleability especially with that oh so bland grey grey grey interior.

Liking the 'pet free' description. Cockapoo included in the sale?

[Twinfan]

Agreed. It's a GT car, not a cross-Euro cruiser for OAPs

I saw this yesterday, and apart from the weird/insipid/dull colour scheme, I see the owner is trying to claim it has LED headlights… errr, no.
