Quick turnaround today, SE and team great as usual. Need to spend some time on PCM functions but will return for a Master Class session in a few weeks. Quick drive home, park up and go to pub, well it is Friday 😉 Car looks good though 😎 Here are some photos.

Dream car! I'm picking up a base Macan on Monday so a beast like that will have to wait for 4 years time.

Assuming that's the Crayon, how does it look in real life, happy with it? Believe it or not I've purchased mine in crayon when I haven't seen it yet. But I'm a fan of the flat greys at the moment and so pretty sure I'll be happy.

Colour of yours certainly looks great though and better than the more beige colour that seems to come across in the OPC photos (unless you've applied photo editing trickery)

No camera trickery involved, it is Crayon and taken in some late afternoon Swindon sun (well spotted Simon 😉). The shots inside the showroom didn’t do it justice as too many shadows cast. Some may say it’s a Marmite colour but I love it 😋 Here are a few more. Look forward to seeing yours, don’t think you will be disappointed 👍

Welcome to the 2020 GTS club. Of course you might be looking to start a sub set, the 2021MY Club :D .

Your photographs catch the autumn tree colours yet Crayon "in the flesh" has more colour than shows up in the pics. Anyhow, enjoy.

Out of interest, was it a choice not to have ACC or are you a victim of the current supply shortage?

Your right, the colour looks paler in lower light. Re the ACC, never been a fan of CC although had it on cars for over 20 years but never used it. I did try an ACC setup but not ticked my box, I tend to do as much A road driving as possible after too many decades spent on motorways.

A warm and sunny welcome to the OPC Swindon 2020 supplied GTS club MikeM. :D
Did you deal with Jordan?

Couldn't agree with you more about CC. I hardly ever use it for the same reason as you. Having spent 40 years pounding the motorways on business, I now revel in using A and B roads where and whenever possible. ;)
