Loan 991 Cab until further notice

Post by 535dboy » Sun May 27, 2012 2:31 pm

As Porsche GB seem to be inept at communicating properly with their dealers about the delivery of the Mrs' new car I have had a grumble and got this until her new car turns up.

It seems that the first batch of Boxsters to come over have been subject to increased QC and were held longer at the port than they would have been normally

The problem being that I sold the TT weeks ago (based on their original ETA) and I just can't take the Lotus to certain places because of insurance reasons

It is an ok stop gap !

Yes and no !

I like it but actually really forward to her boxster coming - like this as it is a touch more manly but a bit Miami vice and 7 speed manual on this one seems a bit clunky for my liking!

Had a lift in. My mates C2 2012 to collect the M5
Sounded fantastic when you dropped it through the gears what a howl
Ride was pretty good too i was expecting it to be really hard but surprisingly it was very much at home cruising on the M6
Gone but not forgotten boohoo !!!
