    Re: Factory Collection and my first impressions

    Nice job!!

    You must be in 7th heaven right now. Lots of follow-up questions...

  • How many miles did you put on our trip? ie. Are you nearing your break-in target already?
  • What is the Sports Suspension like around London roads, with speed bumps everywhere?
  • Have you hacked your PSE yet? HIGHLY recommended!
  • At some point, would you be able to list out all the steps you took to purchase your new Porsche in Germany and get it registered here in the UK? As saving approx. 10% retain price will certainly be a big interest to me once I decide to fork out for a new Turbo in a few years time.

    Glad everything worked out so well. I think a lot of that is down to your thorough up front research you obviously did

    Adaptive sports seats. These are just a few basic shots of cocoa taken without using the flash on the camera. Hopefully, it will be more realistic. I will try to take some more photos later when I have more time which will be a little less blurred.

    Seats in cocoa. This is quite a good representation of what cocoa looks like.

    Re: Factory Collection and my first impressions

    All I can muster out is, "WOW!" It really sounds like you had an amazing time picking up your car! I toured the same places that you did but I wasn't taking delivery of my Turbo at the time so it came off as a completely different experience for me. I can only imagine what it must've been like but now to hear you write about it helps me envision what it would've been like! Thank you for taking the time to detail your amazing adventure! Now I just have one question for you, how does it feel now that its parked at home? When I parked my Turbo in my garage for the first time last week, I couldn't stop going back to look at it to make sure that she really was there!

    Congratulations once again!
