My wife seems to regard all unsolicited communication from the Porsche centre with scepticism. Not sure why - maybe because I ended up with the Macan after an unsolicited letter :) . So she wasn't very impressed with this email... I accept that it is a bit of a hard sell (3 hours, check your car over, valuation) - but she really doesn't think that I need to go and drive their 911. Odd!

Obviously proactively trying to generate new sales! Tewkesbury?

Can't fault their work ethic. ;)

Yes, indeed. Not really sure when it finishes as 5th August is not a Friday.

I tend to give these kind of things a miss, as don’t want to ‘waste’ three hours of their time if I’m not seriously looking to buy. And right now, I don’t want the temptation. ;)

At 3 hours, it has to be a hard sell. The test drive can't be more than 30 minutes if the salesman comes with you. If it was 45 minutes, maybe - but 3 hours is too long to waste, however good the car might be! Another time perhaps.
