Like others I noticed that the tailpipes on my GTS were starting to pit so booked it in to the OPC to have a look and took it down there today as arranged. Before submitting a warranty claim they wanted to see if the marks would polish out so asked if I would mind waiting for a while to do that. As I wasn't busy I decided to have a drink and have a look around the showroom cars.
Tucked in the corner they had a new Macan GTS that I'd previously seen on their open day. It was in the colour I have always loved and the spec was not too far away from what I would have ordered. After having a chat with my regular SE it seems the car was provisionally sold but apparently the sale had fallen through earlier in the week and it was now available with a deal if it could be out the door before the end of the month.
So after going through the numbers a couple of times the deal was done and I pick it up on Saturday. And what is the colour, well lets see if you can guess?
Not quite the day I was expecting.
Congrats
Its lighter than Saphire but darker than Miami.
Voodoo?

....stating the obvious, you need to change your signature.....
Congrats on an update, hopefully not to much money to change hands either?

I was expecting another switch to a 911.
That is a gorgeous colour though!
How old is your current red GTS?

Thanks Paul, I'll try and remember to change it on Saturday if I'm not out having fun in it . The cost to change was a bit more than I would have spent if I'd ordered it myself but the deal on offer was hard to refuse and I know I would have regretted not taking the opportunity based on the colour alone.

Thanks Semerka, Current GTS is 2 years old. Although I'm really looking forwards to getting the new one I think I'll be sad to see the current one go.
