Hope that Porsche has activated the transport mode - or what it is called.

I think that's something they do at the factory before shipping but I doubt they "repackaged" my car like they do with the cars coming new off the assembly line.

I've heard from others the cars show up exactly clean/dirty the way you hand it over after use in Europe.

All I have is this from when I gave it back to them and a spare purple key...

I was a participant for half of the adventure and it can't be topped... Unless one planned to track all night too It was on a track for almost every day of the two weeks I spent with Pete with the exception of two... Cadbury (Mr Purple) only rested when we slept, lol... Certainly no reliability issues with the RSs...

:-) hoping for Chin, Winterfest, DM with RS than 48 hours competition with racecar PCA Eclass in January. In Feb the GT4 arrives to plenty of setting up cars playing with those setups and look at data.
Let's hope I didn't unlearn driving with the RS and a can still wheel around a relic mid pack.

Yup so far, so good Chris, but the real test for those tire fitment issues will be Sebring and then GT4 all this spring but also a crap load of travel planned to Europe to take care of work and family business. Maybe a slow track year, we'll see. Drove the RSA home for a little relic taste :-)

^^^ not sure as took timer out per Gavin's request, had me moving brake point up as running to deep ,
he wanted me braking earlier with the goal to carry more speed thru turn , last season 2:20.01
pretty confident now sub 20, as was seeing faster top into 17, 1, 7 , 10 always been fast into 13
still need to pull up my pants thru Bishops
last time @ Sebring LO RS had to give me the point , probably doesn't have as many laps logged
car goes to Champion after Christmas for latest flash , plugs , oil , then Ernie for fresh PFC-11 all
corners , just installed fresh set of Cup2's

I'll have to be looking in my mirror as well than!

Our nephew picked up the Macan today.
Its on 19" snow tires and it seems that the didn't come with spacers to compensate vor the 21" removal, so I hope he doesn't fall over :-)

Seems like all the buttons are there, strangely there is a wart on the dash and I didn't order or pay for Sport Chrono. Also ordered rear badge delete, but its on there. Porsche giving stuff away for free ??

LOL, I'm wondering as well!
Also the back of the car shows a European rear bumper, maybe the Macan's doesn't come with a smaller space for US plates like the RS?

He's having fun! He took a friend stayed at the hotel did the factory tour and now they are cruising around breaking it in.

I test drove a Macan for a day first and was very impressed. Really more of a hot hatch than a SUV.

I just looked at the 2016 Macan configurator and the Sports Chrono Clock is an option. So weird....
