Great spec πŸ‘and congrats on your build slot πŸ₯³

Re the comfort access, mine has it and at first I did have security anxiety, first thing I bought was two faraday pouches, the second key is in one permanently and main key in pouch as soon as locked and unlocked.

The boot locking option I find useful after shopping and golf. I’m relaxed about it now. My main niggle is the permanent key is a bit naff looking and would have preferred start/stop button, even better with a Porsche logo on it πŸ˜—

That's one hell of a spec and price.
Not a problem waiting as I've got something fun to run around in over the winter months. Sold my X3M Competition when I paid my deposit as I didn't want to have such a large amount of cash in a depreciating asset until the new car arrives. Plus, when you've decided to move something on, it's best to do it asap and I fancied something small and light weight.

Behold the mighty VW Up! GTI. It's great fun and so cheap to run - I achieved just under 60mpg going to the NEC last week for the Classic Motorshow

Great choice of run-around. I had a Twingo 133 RS as my little run-around, and debated to sell it an buy a UP GTI. But they very quickly sold out, and second hand cars (at the time) were non existent. My plan was to mod it up. Bucket seats, lower it, and remap it to around 140bhp. But then the GR-Yaris came out and I secured one of them instead.

UP GTI looks great in Red.

Good to see a Carmine being ordered! :)

Gotta love a bold-coloured Porsche!

I ordered a Carmine Panamera in 2017 and a Racing Yellow Carrera T in 2018! 😎

While we wait to see pics of your new Carmine Macan, feel free to share a pic or two of your 991.2! πŸ‘

Cheers,

Cheers,
Go on then, since you asked. This was at the top of the Stelvio pass as part of a European tour we did last year, ending up at Monaco for the F1 - that was disappointing, but the rest of the trip was epic . You could say I'm a fan of red cars.

Not designated but just a PCGB Macan outing, two groups AM & PM probably some overlap in that picture. I think there were 4 carmine more than any other colour!

What’s the name of the chap who runs the PCGB Macan group?

If it’s still the same chap, he drove a red 991.1 GT3 on a weekend drive to the Yorkshire Dales which I took part in (991 group) maybe 7-8 years ago.
