Saw and sat in an orange RS at my OPC Cardiff.I went to have a nose to confirm a few interior options that I have ordered. They have taken it into stock and was for sale last week. Fairly standard spec with 2500 miles, looked aggresivey stunning. Not too sure about price but is this the first used one in the network??

Mine is scheduled for Nov, but apparently delayed till Dec, I aint gonna wait.
Dont think it will make any difference
Lighty - hi: what was the reason for delay ? Was it originally a November physical delivery ? TIADont think it will make any difference
Pretty helpfull as you can imagine, you wouldnt think it would be asking too much to get an exact date at this time.
Got to say I am very pi$$ed off at this stage, so not even bothering to ask any more.Am sure they will ring me when they want 100k.
same here - mine originally was meant to be late summer ie late Aug/early Sept...but looks like early Oct now...as you say sometimes we have to "give up" and wait for the inevitable call for the cash !
I realised when my GT3 ordered last year was delayed so many times that i became increasingly frustrated with the OPC but both of us could do nowt. I thought the OPC 'best endeavours' to get the car was genuine.
Guess most OPC dont want to commit - to avoid adding on further disappointment to their loyal customers.
I just wonder if all prestige cars ordering cycles experiences are the same eg Ferraris, Astons, Lambos

jonny finance - when's your car arriving and trust not experiencing similar timing problem as Lighty on the forum ? TIA,,,
ps i thought Porsche are now back from summers hols the factory will be on full steam ahead - the only delay i read elsewhere was supply issues for the PCCBs which i believe has since been solved.

Think its all a game tbh,worst thing is there will be little use of the car till spring if I get it December, my driveway is like a dirt track in the winter so I wont be able to get it out a lot even if I want to
Worth the wait, though.. 
Have done 800 miles, since I got it on Monday!
My whole RS ordering experience has been a disaster from the word go. I was really keen to get one of the first in UK and was about to place a deposit with my OPC last June, got talking to my usual secialist dealer who informed me he had one of the first cars availible which would have been Feb/March this year. A deal was done which involved me (contract) agreeing to a premium and him taking then and there my current car as deposit at trade price SL65 AMG 1 year old 900 miles. I knew that I was paying stong money for the RS and only getting very ordinary price for the SL but was willing to go with it.
Time went by and then I started pushing for an exact del date, this continued being extended month by month, by this time they had sold the SL and I was starting to get the feeling that they where holding a very large deposit for a car that not only was I going to be paying a premium sum for but was indeed not really going to be an early delivery car (May/June)
After more pressure from myself re delivery they now thought it better to return my deposit (cheque) as they where not sure at all about actually even getting hold of this apparent forward ordered car.
So now I am back in my OPC handing over the deposit some 6 months later hence Nov build.
I now think it was for the best not to mention the fact I am buying at list and getting full C16 and OPC reasurance. I also feel quite lucky with the knowledge that I am actually going to get hold of one, with my dealer assuring me to expect Nov or the very latest Dec del.

Sounds like my experience has been very painless compared to yours, that has made me feel better.
Sounds like we will get our cars at about the same time, Iam sure Dec will be the last delivery, I shouldnt complain really as I was told when I ordered that mone was the last but 2 uk cars. I just want to know a date.
As for your car being Grubby Kurgen, wait til you see the stte mine will be in
