    Easy Rider at PDE Silverstone

    Are any of you guys going to be there on 8 or 22 July? If so, let me know so I can pick the same day as you. I'll post more details when I study the leaflet a bit more tomorrow


    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 at PDE Centre Silverstone

    I'll be there but I haven't decided on the date yet

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 at PDE Centre Silverstone

    when and who did you get the invite off? I still havent got mine.....

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 at PDE Centre Silverstone

    Those driving test days where fully booked over here in no time. I applied but did not manage to get a pass

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 at PDE Centre Silverstone

    is the silverstone event an actual the actual PDE 1/2 day thing you get when buying a 911 or another thing?

    Just spoke with dealer to chase up getting my invite and he seemed to think it was part of the PDE.... hes ringing up anyway to find out. When I find out more will post here

    I think it comes with an order placed for the mk11, I may be wrong

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 at PDE Centre Silvers

    I thought its current owners who get an invite?

    If you book it separately it is very expensive...

    I'm booked for the 3pm session on 8 July. AFAIK, it's for some existing owners. I'll try to scan the leaflets and post them here.

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    I havn't ordered a new one but I've had an invite!

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    so is this the PDE you get when buying a 911 or do you go on that as another 1/2 day aswell?

    looking forward to seeing leaflet

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    Okay, here's the brochure. I scanned it in colour. It's a fold open leaflet with 6 pages, 3 on each side hence the slightly odd order in which I could scan it.

    You'll need to right click the word "Attachment" on this and the next 2 posts

    (Front and back covers attached to this post)

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    (Pages 2 and 5)

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    (Pages 3 and 4)

    Enjoy

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverstone

    This is not the same as the PDE that one does when buying a new car. This is a different PDE experience to demonstrate the 997 Mk2.


    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    I'm annoyed I have not got this since I committed to a FL 911 in January!!!

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    i'll be there on the 20th, sounds like good fun!

    Got mine through a couple of days ago. It is NOT the half day driving event that you get with the deposit. I booked on the July 8th date @ 15:00

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    just been told this is the PDE you get when buying the 911..... im booked for 8th august.

    I don't think that is true as when i rang them to book mine i asked that exact question, and was told that the two things are different and i need to book my PDE separately........ I hence have two events..... the marketing hour long test drive on the 8th July and the PDE....

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    This PDE event for the new 997 Mk2 lasts 2.5 hours (with only 1 hour of actual driving).

    The PDE when you buy a new car is called PDE Precision. It used to last 4 hours but is now a full 1 day course.

    There is a further PDE (which used to last 6 hours but which now lasts 2 full days) called PDE Performance.


    Guys, info regarding the Precision and the Performance PDEs is available on the website:

    @cdixon: Chris, see you there on 8 July at 3pm

    Cheers guys,
    Easy


    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    thanks easy_rider.....

    I am still confused then I was told that it was from 9 - 12:30 and it was the PDE that you get when you buy the car...

    I wanna do the silverstone event and then do a proper PDE Precision. Who should I contact? My OPC is rather crap....

    Would love to meet you guys on the 8th.......

    Looking forward to it Mate


    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    well just gave the invite line a ring and asked for a place - my name wasnt on any list so she is going to ring my dealership!!!!!!

    I will be having words if they get back with a negative response.

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    RESULT Thanks guys!!!!!!! Got my dealer to speak with them and got a nice phone call saying I can go and to book a date.... you get around 1 hour drive with a "consultant" so should be good....

    8th is fully booked unfortunately so will have to book another day.

    The PDE will also be taking place there so thats what I booked earlier for August.

    Thanks again!

    Mex99 its worth you speaking with your dealership mate as you have placed a deposit you should be going.

    No worries mate..... What date in August did you book your PDE ?

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    OK - I'm speaking to them on Tuesday so will raise it.

    I have been promised an invite to the launch - I guess this is something different??

    I wouldn't leave it that long mate, spaces are first come first served.......

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    yeah get on the phone tomorrow.......

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    I phoned at 09:00 and am booked on for the 14th July. Pretty cool to drive at Silverstone a week after the GP.

    Re: Invited to drive Mk2 997 PDE Centre Silverston

    Can't believe it - I've been invited for a second time by another dealership So I'm wondering whether I should go twice?
