Congrats on your order!

Semerka’s JP enjoyed a speedy jaunt to Southern Bohemia in October. Rev limiter in sixth was briefly hit on the Autobahn.

We popped out to this lovely local road between the lakes after dinner one evening to take a quick video.
While you’re waiting for your car, you can imagine how good this felt blasting through the gears :)
@Red5 is your number plate related to John Player Special (black/gold) theme from the 70s?

Indeed it is, because of the "gold" wheels. We found it on the DVLA's website for mere £250. A bargain that will have to stay with the car if sold. :lol:
We were contemplating the gold decals down the sides, but decided against (for now at least).
It's also a very easy registration to remember.
Our stable:
- 992 Carrera T - manual - Ruby Star Neo - Carrera Excl. wheels (2023)
- BMW 240i xDrive (G42) - Portimao Blue - AC Schnitzer tune
ex: 981 Cayman GTS, Macan S Diesl, Macan Turbo, 991.2 Carrera S, 718 Cayman GTS, i30 N, 718 Cayman GTS 4.0

Am positive that you could get gold ‘JPS’ and ‘John Player Special’ decals custom made! :)

Ha! Great minds… and all that

I called out @Semerka’s black/gold JPS theme, from her signature, then @Red5 posts the video with the number plate… what are the odds?

Now you have to get custom JPS decals to finish it off the project, and so that we can spot you on the road 😜

Haha, yes I bet :lol:

I guess one could have the GTS 4.0 changed in the same type face to say JPS 4.0.

Don’t want Semerka’s car looking like like a pack of fags though, so probably safest to stop now :shock:

Well, now that Formula One cars aren’t allowed to look like fag packets anymore... 🤔 ;)

@Semerka is driving anti-social black GTS 4.0 with Aurum wheels (let’s not pretend she is a mother Teresa) ; she needs matching decals.
