Did you deal with Jordan?

Is Jordan back at Porsche then, Steve? He sold me my first Porsche (the Macan) but then I thought he moved on to another marque, possibly still with Dick Lovett?

I’ve seen several Crayon Macans in the wild and I think they look great. :)

Looks well Mike and almost identical to mine outside with the black accents and pan roof only difference being Dolomite to Crayon.

Any plans for a detail or PPF?

Yes Simon, he returned last autumn after a spell at Dick Lovett Jaguar Land Rover in Melksham.

He has seen through the sale of both my new Macans. A thoroughly professional and conscientious SE that I can truly recommend.

Wish I could say the same about the SEs at the other brands of dealerships that I use. :cry:

Did give it some thought but with 36k miles in my previous Macan including a lot of motor way miles and just a 6 monthly application of protective sealant the only area that had signs of wear were at the rearmost section on the side blades. The rest of the car looked as showroom. I have all the kit inc DA polisher and am now doing about 5k pa so happy to keep on top of it.

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. ;)
Yes, although just for the handover as clashed with my SE’s planned holiday. Very professional and knowledgable, great to deal with. Although I have been a DL customer for many years and can honestly say I am yet to come across anyone there who isn’t. For me they are the John Lewis of car dealerships 👍

I find the colour alternates between 'beige' (most of the time), 'chalky white' (in the garage) and 'flat grey' (cloudy or near sunset). It's certainly an interesting colour. Although many other manufacturers offer similar colours, Porsche's crayon seems unique in the way it changes its appearance.
