Picked it up about 2 weeks ago.
Love it so far. Brilliant blend of useability/performance/looks
Has the x73 suspension which is brilliant and IMO is a must have on the car - mainly because of the huge improvement it makes to the steering feel.
Also has PTV which again is brilliant. I always drive my cars without esp/TC so was a little worried it would be nannying but I don't honestly notice the intrusion. Doesn't feel like TC or esp just turn in and the car seems to pivot around an apex. Then obviously you have the benefit of LSD on the way out.
It doesn't quite have the torque to be an oversteer monster and I've yet to have the back end out.
If I'm being picky it could probably do with another 30 bhp to feel properly fast, but for the road and the reward/risk equation it's almost perfect.
The sound is epic. The windows are down almost all the time.

I also wouldn't usually pick a white car but that works really well, especially with those wheels - great spec and the interior looks awesome, some really nice pics there...
Also as I was just clicking next where is that hotel? setting looks lovely...

Powerfully built with a beard..then supplies pictures of new Porsche and girlfriend in her cozzy....you sir are a Pistonhead god ! 
Haha ! I love pistonheadsSeriously I wasn't intending that at all! My wife wasn't best pleased either. Though she did say "why have you uploaded those you have better ones". Before you ask no! You've seen enough of the misses
Holiday was, as correctly guessed santorini - ambassador luxury hotel. They have a strict bearded powerfully built directors only entrance policy though - so if your not don't bother
Thanks for comments on car. Had a blast today on the cat and fiddle road today before it got closed - was a lovely mazzer 4200 there as well.
