Haven't had any niggles with mine - guess it depends on the dealer.

Guyt what build week were you? Mine's due in next week but haven't had a date yet. Would also be curious as to post-PDi issues etc.

Interesting....!

My Avant is also due next week (must be a batch made in RHD?), was finished over a week ago, but has been listed as 'awaiting shipping' for a week. apparently this time also includes the time it takes to get across Germany.

Wonder if the high winds we're experiencing mean that sailings have been cancelled.

Still keeping fingers crossed to get the car at the end of the week...can't wait!

Although we haven't been able to answer the question in the OT (a good thing?) I can confirm that mine is arriving Friday to the compound, having its PDI then, and I'm picking it up on Saturday. This must be the best Christmas present (I've ever given myself) ever. Downside is the 996 went today. Great car.

Picking mine up in the new year (so it gets logged as an 07 56 car). Hoping there are no 'issues' with it as my S4 has been pretty trusty!.
Phantom black, Solar sunroof, Recaro sports (non bucket), isofix and I think thats about it...
Having an armrest fitted since it didnt have one despite them being a no cost option.
It is an orange indicator model but I did pay an 06 price for it despite it being new so not too bothered on that (has about 80 miles on the clock,some of which I put on!)

Just picked mine up today!!!

Avant, Daytona Grey, privacy glass, tech pack, TV (which is crap reception!), buckets.

NO TMC, but clear indicators.

Photos soon! The privacy glass certainly makes it look mean!

Now, have to change my signature....
