how did you get these different seats? They fold forward and don't look like the other LWBs I've seen online.

The owner is not in the US. I'd take that car if I had to sit on a milk crate.

Default Cracked windshield

I picked up my GT3 in Stuttgart, euro delivery. While driving in Milan I heard the sound of a small rock hitting windshield. Sound wasn't that loud. I live in Boston and with the long winters we have my other cars get abused with stones hitting windshields. Anyway it's the first time I get a 6-7 inch crack line. I think porsche windshields might be more fragile to save weight ??or maybe just bad luck

You drove in Italy? When I was looking at euro delivery dealer said insurance didn't cover Italy. Hmm..

To be honest the crack against my windshield was a might thud so can't really state the screens are not robust. Yes these are the new CF Buckets for the UK, I believe they first appeared in the 997 but my last one had the fixed Buckets. To be honest just makes a little easier for cleaning and accessing the load space through the cage.

Why can't the U.S. version move forward like these? My 458 has c.f. buckets and pull forward just as those do!
