Actually mine was about as good as the handover of any car from a car supermarket, extremely poor.
That's unfortunate. All mine were excellent, Silverstone, Nottingham & Glasgow.

ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE.

I quite like the slightly scowling LED lamps on the new model. I'd never have named mine a "baby hippo" if it had that face.
Good colour choice :)

I must say that Porsche presentation of a new car is very slick, however, a little boy in me would enjoy unwrapping ala May. No?

I've had a couple of Porsche presentations and I find them rather cringeworthy unfortunately. So much so that I asked the second one to tone it down a bit.

When I was at an OPC the other day, there were a couple of sales guys putting the covers on a mamba green car being 'presented' to a customer, today, I think. One wanted to meet the customer and shake his hand for going for such a bold choice, but the other advised not doing so because it might freak the customer out.

I wasn't anybody here, was it?

I just got them to bring mine to me. Couldn't do with all the fuss. And as we all know we know more about the cars than the SE's. So did not need a walk through.

When I chop it in I'll be heading to Kendal probably as they seem much better

So loving this car.

Keep flicking between sport and sport plus.

Handles like a dream. So much sharper and better to drive than my old RR Evoque.

It’s not just about the speed with Porsche it’s how they drive.

This after only 12 days
