Love the car. I daily a 997S with a 6 speed manual and a C7 Corvette GrandSport with a 7 speed manual and this PDK 718 is a fantastic addition. Had a 2014 Cayman as a loaner for a day in 2014, couldn't stand it. The 718 is in another league - very impressed.
My Porsche dealer did a great job in locating the exact car we were looking for it was sitting up at Porsche of Greenwhich with the exact options in GT Silver like she wanted. They had the car shipped down and put it under a Christmas tree where it stayed on the showroom floor until she picked it up very cool.
Great present. Did the same but have been unable to
post the pics direct from phone to forum. Any advice on how to is really appreciated
Thanks. I've never really used the forum on the phone tbh, do yo have a laptop? You should see a tab under your message where you type text "Manage attachments" and through there browse for pictures on your hard drive. I'd imagine it would be similar on a phone look forward to seeing them.
10 days into ownership I get a text she's been pulled over for going over the speed limit. I reply back to be careful this car is capable of 170mph. "I know" she responds. I ask her how does she know that. "Because when I hit the gas it turns everyone behind me into ants"......priceless.

Great story.
You should get PCA memberships (if not members already) and sign up for auto-cross and track events. That’ll help build driving skills and make the urge to ‘turn everyone behind into ants’ on the street easier to resist. Easier... not impossible.

I assume you’ve gotten to the point of being able to select a picture on your phone? After you select your picture and wait for it to upload you have to click on “upload” or it won’t actually persist server-side.

That's not a bad idea. I doubt she would track it though after she saw how expensive that hobby can get last few years (and that was a relatively cheap Shelby GT350 and Boss302)

PCA A-X and DE events are not free sure, but overall they are only as expensive as you want them to be. If the purpose is to have fun then it’s just pads, rotors, fluids and tires. Material wear’s a lot less of a hit if you DIY too.
OTOH, if you have to beat the stopwatch and everybody else, then yes it can get really expensive.
You should at least get her to try one or both. Seriously, would you rather spend money on tires that get turned into heat and smoke or shoes that sit on a shelf in a custom a closet?
