not to hijack the thread, but who does one
contact to get a paint palette of the PTS
we ordered or are interested in? my dealer
told me this was not possible? thanks
Contact this guy. Who else?
And if you don't get it, you now
know who to blame!

You better believe it! No US dealer
got around finding for me a measly

PCNA nor PAG intervened on my
behalf to get me one! I figure it was
simply done to throw you guys off-
scent in the belief that I am in their
loyal service. But Rennlisters are too
clever to fall for that old trick! Yes, I
am in the payroll...and I often meet
with my pay-masters to plot strategy!

Sorry to hear that. I hope she feels
better soon! Loved ones - that is where
we need to concentrate our concerns &
energy! And perhaps spend less time
kvetching about how badly Porsche or
dealers are treating us! But that is just
my opinion - bought & paid by folks at
Zuffenhausen!
Sapphire blue is nice but a little too dark......Voodoo blue is nice as well but a little too bright for me. Golf Blue is hands down my favorite blue of them all; not too bright, not too dark. Just perfect!
I am venting too! We all need to do that every
once in a while.

Absolutely...venting is a tonic for the emotions! I know you guys are having good fun and that you mean well.

Porsche stepped up at last minute to make sure ED wasn’t a waste. Since returning it has been messy. They forgot my car, only when I inquired about it’s location was it discovered a month later with no shipping plans. then it was damaged...this prompted air freighting. No real apologies, no thanks for you support, etc etc. it’s a German thing I guess! So perhaps I’m a little annoyed. Perhaps it’s bevahsd I’m watching my 8 year old daughter get stitched in her head! Bad day
Sorry to hear about your daughter, hope she's OK. Family first. Back to Porsche bizness, seems Porsche is getting sloppy...
Saw this at Parkhaus1's two year anniv event this past Saturday... love the color and it's even more scarce. Personally it's my fav PTS blue now over Voodoo but not by much.
The short story with this is that the orig owner ordered it (thru The Collection) and wanted Gulf Blue... after whatever screw up happened, he ended up with the other vowel- so it arrived as Golf Blue instead like GMG's. This one has like 20 miles on it... basically brand new. Asking price was north of 330K. Gulp. Go figure.
I think "Golf" in german means "Gulf"... perhaps that helped create the mistake? In any case my car is Golf Blue and I like it very much. =)
Eduardo - I am very saddened by your post. Very saddened that it took me 6 months to come across it, that is! Very well said my friend.

Wow! So you seriously threatened them!
Surprised they didn't cave! Do you think
they really know who they were dealing
with?
Lucky you didn't get something a tad
stronger...words like 'Blödmann' or
'Unvernünftig'. You got off easy!
What exactly are you proposing to them
& us? Is it the establishment of some
'prokuratura' like those in the good-old
USSR that would interrogate every
prospective Porsche customer & inquire
as to how they plan to use their gt cars?
And if they don't pass your strict standards/
rules, then it's "No Porsche for you!". Or
also perhaps detention in some gulag?
Guest89 recently asked of another poster
a question that perhaps has undeniable
validity to many posts we see lately on
this forum:
"Honest question - are you an owner /
credible buyer of any 991 GTx car or
a 14 year old kid masturbating on the
internet? I cannot believe someone
who can come up with $150K+ for a
frivolous toy could be so naive and
obtuse."
That doesn't apply to you, of course,
but I still often wonder what motivates
some folks (that should know better)
propose these types of criteria as for
who should, or should not, be able to
order/own a Porsche...any Porsche!
