    Agreed, it is tremendous, especially the kick plate. I drove down from Central Scotland and spent the night in a hotel close by, then drove home the next day afterwards. Long day but definitely worth it.

    To be honest, I've always wanted "my" one. Even wanted to do the factory tour and pick it up from Stuttgart, do the Museum tour, the works.

    Plus, it's been a bit of a dream since my first drive of a 993 in the mid 90's (all my Uncles fault).

    So not really keen on a pre owned model.

    Noice. Very noice. Very very noice. Congratulations but sorry it had to happen in such sh*tty circumstances. :|
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    Just curious - have you driven the manual gearbox version? It transforms the car compared to the PDK (in my opinion of course).

    Surprised to see that PDK was a cost option, it must be the GT4 that is a non cost option then.
