Or "baie dankie, julle mense" as your forefathers taught us to say when they landed at the Cape of Good Hope...
En julle mense hou van jou woonwa hier ook!

:( whenever there is a new post I so much look forward to new pics or info on the RS 4.0 but nothing.
I mean no offense. I enjoy reading you guys but shouldnt we have a separate thread for general chat?
Well, then i'll upload some pics and a first impression after 500km with the car once I've managed to remove the dead flies

Please do so...
OK, here is something topical copy-and-pasted from the 918 thread. I was a guest of Porsche last Friday at Weissach:
Then, we went off for hot-lap taxi rides (those that were willing ) at the Weissach test track. The young lady queue-marshals were equipped with airline-style motion-sick bags at the ready for anyone feeling the need. There were four GT3s available with the lead car a GT3 RS 4.0 in white driven by Romain Dumas. I gamed the queue to get a ride in the 4.0. What a hoot! When I entered the passenger seat, Romain introduced himself and asked from where I had come. I answered, "Cincinnati, Ohio". He said; "Ohio ... like Mid-Ohio?" I told him "Yes" and that it was my favorite track. He replied; "Mine, too! ... I win there a lot!" Well, that set the tone for a nice display of what the car could do. It was very toss-able and seemed as though it was completely missing even a single bad habit. He could dirt-track-style slide the car at about any slip angle that seemed amusing. He did a hand-brake turn as a way to get rotated in a slow grinder of a corner and executed it so smoothly that it seemed normal to do in that car. I can't wait to get mine on the track next Spring!

think they do!
You are right small things make a difference...got a long way to go before I get delivered...might be the last one on the production run as my delivery is in January (went for PTS)
Lucky you! nice goodies! And yes, you are right, the gesture is always very much appreciated.
Mine's standard white and it's coming early December. I guess I'll be driving it next Spring just like Mike.
I drove one on the Bugatti track last July and the car unsurprisingly, feels fabulous. The torque impresses most of all, that engine just pulls from 3000 like a work horse whereas the 3.6 L unit needs to rev past 5000 to start being exciting.
Best of both world.

How nice! IMO it's not the value of the goodies that necessarily impresses me but rather it's the fact that it shows they cared enough about the little details
Whenever I do a PSDS course, the PSDS always gives a little gift at the end of the track day driving. It's a nice touch
