Yes, would have loved factory collection. It was open to me too, but one major problem.
The time of year says that winter tyres must be fitted if weather is poor enough. You are only allowed to drive your car away if weather is suitable, and March can be a bit iffy.
I'm self employed, so an extra day here or there is ok. Wife works for a bank, and has already booked all her holidays. Could go without her, but it's a big thing for me and want her to be involved.
Maybe next time, if it ever happens.

Cheers Dave,

Yes you should have taken it easily, but I think you have quite a lot of extra horses.

Just been watching your Scotsburg Ring video, reminds me of last year on the bikes (awesome).
I love the colour of your F Type, really classy.

Keep up the good work.

Not as easy as you think on a track ....

Cayman at least 100kg less (if not more) and mid engine ... So very handy in the corners ...

Reeled him in on the straights though with the horses and out braked him with the Ceramics!

Arrived yesterday, I love it.
Was genuinely worried about PDK, but it's wonderful. I agree it will never have the involvement of manual, but it's very very good in its own right.

Agreed

Worst point about our boxster is the pdk.

Rs4 one far superior.

Really? I cannot understand this every Porsche I've driven with PDK has been quicker and smoother than any of the Audi S Tronics I've owned. That's various 991s, macans and caymans. Admittedly I've not driven a Boxter.

We've probably discussed this before but I do not want a car to still kick down or change up when I have lever pushed over to manual

Yeah, not experienced that feature. Special feature for hair dressers?

Yeah possibly as hairdressers can't be trusted!

I know the panny does it as I had one recently.

Pretty sure the macan does too

Please go out and try for me

Thanks
