Crikey OMG, yours might be the last one built. Your patience will be rewarded. What's that saying...'The fruit at the top of the tree is the hardest to pluck but tastes the sweetest'. Or was it something else...not sure.

That's fascinating given our cars have different colours. It would make more sense if OMG's car and mine were built on the same day.

My date is "completion date" (mid January) But if it takes about four weeks for a PTS car to be built, my start of build date will be around the beginning of December too, (taking Christmas shut down into consideration)...

Just made my monthly call to OPC to see how PTS GTS is proceeding.

It has now been moved forward with a completion date of the 21st of December. This is the 3rd time its moved. It was originally September, then January 2016, now December...


I now have an invite to the OPC 991.2 launch, its not till the start of December.

it probably makes sense to batch all the PTS bodies for consecutive painting, since the paint robots have an automated palette of around 12 (std) colors and
have to be 'reloaded' to undertake PTS, they can simply prep the robots with
all the PTS colors for a particular run, then push the chassis's through the
paint line in a batch, so they only need to change the palettes one time, instead of every time a PTS chassis comes through the production line...

Ha, you beat me to it. I contacted my SA today morning for an update but he's out today so he's going to send me the latest tracking tomorrow.

Puf, what about you?

Not that it would necessarily impact your schedules, but I learned today my GT Silver GTS is running a month ahead of the original delivery date.. Was late November, now late October. Hope that's a good omen for yall.

I wonder if this is to do with dealers swapping allocations.

I learned today that what i believed to be a production start date of 4 Dec is wrong. That date is actually the 'Factory Release Date', and that this date remains current and unchanged since early August.

At least the misunderstanding is in my favour - I should take delivery before Christmas

That's great news for you...

If my completion date stays the same, the 21st of December, I don't think i will receive it till the first working week of January. I expect delivery will be affected by the Christmas holidays and New Year. Last time it was 6 days from "completion to delivery" for me...( but that was a September completion date.)

My build dates as of Sep 4 haven't changed. Vehicle entry to body shop on Dec 4 and completion two weeks later. I'll check again in a month.

Well that's it.. I was offered a price far too good to refuse for my 12 month old 991s.. So I am now counting down the 5 days till it goes.... then I start counting the days down for the new arrival.
Its been 6 months so far, but its easy waiting when you have one in the garage already. Now things will be different, no car and maybe still 3 months to go....sh*t that's f*cking ages....
