    911S coming soon!

    Just got some news.
    Car is currently in the paint shop and will completed in two days.
    It should be at the dealership around the 20th if all goes well.
    So I'll go and pick it up the 26th or later in December (busy times )
    This is exciting, finally, after 6 months wait!
    Will post lots of pics and driving impressions of the beast (Slate Grey 991S, powerkit, PCCB, sport chassis, Adapt seats, Sport exhaust, Etc etc etc etc etc...)

    Yes it was. A 911 takes less than a week to be completed I thinks.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
    I left Scotland now (Oh so sadly) and am based in London, which is... Well, not Scotland. Just different I guess.
    Car will be based in France gents, but if I ever take roads trips to the UK (which I will, especially around Aberdeen and up north which has some of the most amazing roads I've ever seen!) be sure I will post some impressions re the sport suspensions.
    I believe our user jjr1 is based in the UK and has a sport chassis 997 too.

    No. included with both models I think. Definitely "free" with S.

    Nice work Fanch! The large Carbon Package is all that's missing IMHO. Oh, paint to sample and leather to sample if you want to make Seinfeld jealous.

    Nope, not in Europe or at least not in Germany and Switzerland. They charge you for it (CHF700 ~ $540)
