I just saw the first car ready and being prepped to be returned to its owner here in Dubai - UAE. Engine has been installed. Took then less than a day to get the old one out and the new one in I asked the service Manager about the mesh grills in front of the front wheels to protect the radiators and he said they had no information for it here in the UAE. He said due to the heat PAG might not apply that mesh here to prevent overheating issues arising. Temperatures at are around 45 degrees Celsius right now and it gets worse. he did say he would look into it though with PME he also confirmed that the car got PDK-S/engine/RWS software updates. Oh and here is little video Of the car being started up which also shows you the little blue light that is on on cold start up to prevent over revs until the car is at adequate operating temperature. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkFgq...ature=youtu.be My engine gets here in around 2 days and i should have the car by next weekend. any questions you might have I will be happy to answer then. here is the boxes the engines arrive in cheers Arth

Looks bloody beautify Mike even on a trailer. That angle is perfect - must be the best/most aggressive 911 production road car made by Porsche for many years (perhaps since 993GT2 road version)!

Phil: Coats of wax? 2.....1 after the stop drive. It was a form of therapy.

I haven't got the call yet! When did they call you to tell you a pick up time? They said my car would be finished the week of July 7 but haven't made arrangements yet for a pickup.

Congrats on progress! Do you know when mine was shipped out from the dealer? Please do not tell me it was still sitting there when you brought yours in.
