Ha ha! Oh, ok! :oops:

I think that yellow really suits a 911, or maybe a Cayman.

I'm very happy with my choice of Carmine Red for my Panamera.

I await to see what colour choices are offered for the Mission E, apart from white & black.

But if ordering a 911 or 911T, yellow would be high on my list. 😎

- short shift with shorter gear ratios with the sublime 7-speed manual gearbox.
- upgraded suspension.

;)

I like it, as a baby 911 GT, with the no-cost option of rear seats. :D

Having studied the spec and read a few more reviews/articles, I am now warming to this new model... :)

The GTS hit £100k pretty quickly. This for 15k less and very few options required...
I reckon I could get my perfect spec for 86-87k...

Just specced one up. :) Only added two cost options - Park Assist (front & rear) and my beloved heated steering wheel. Also added PCM, and rear seats :o

Not bad at 'only' £86,570 ;)

With the suspension • Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) with ride height lowered by 20 mm - which is 10mm

lower than a C2 I think i'll give it a miss as I'll be moving onto a building site for the next 3 years and the roads are always done last ;-(

Have you specced up a 911 T, Spook? It can be had in GT Silver with black wheels. Might be worth serious consideration. :geek:

£92612 for a similar spec http://www.porsche-code.com/PJ73XKH0 to my £90089 , I'm try to save money as I'm moving house, have you seen the cost of silestone !!!!

Also as I wrote earlier it's a new build and it'll be three years before the development is completed and I'm worried enough with the C2 , raised drains , bump up to the drive until the road is finished etc. I think the 911T will be too low.

I can remember two houses ago (again new development) M3 ripped his front spoiler off, too fast over the uncompleted raised pavor section of road. They seem to put cobbles across the road and pave the internal road junctions on new development round here.

No info on availability I'm off to Nottingham OPC on Tuesday so i'll enquire there. :D :D :D

I quite like the 911 in Carmine Red but Mrs Spook want GT Silver :o :o

Saw a 911 in Carmine at the OPC yesterday and it did look good. £1,800 on the GTS 4 quelled my interest and GT Silver it remains.
Current - 991.2 GTS C4 GT Silver
Previous: Macan GTS Night Blue

We got the same stuff, different label. Half the cost I believe.
Macan SD Vocano Grey. LEDs, Pano Roof, PSE, Sports Chrono, PASM, Sports Design Mirrors, 21" Sports Classics in Black, lots of other extras.
