I. cant. wait. any. longer. My car has been awaiting a delivery truck at the port since being unloaded from the ship 3 days ago. WTF???? I told the dealer I should get a U-Haul truck and go get it myself, haha. The wait is killing me. The last 72 hours have felt WAAAAAAAAY longer than the 4 previous months together. Please, please just put me out of my misery now.... :ROTFL

Well, if it is any consolation. The reason I am into a 911T now is that my Audi TTRS order was stuck in Port. Where I am pretty sure it still sits today - 113 days later.

The weird thing is that the Monroney has been printed AND released for transport. Is it that so freaking hard to get a freaking truck????

Alex,
We have been putting larger duffle bags in the frunk. And smaller bags, jackets, shopping, etc behind the LWBS. There is a bunch of space. Not bad to get it between the seats.

But. Today I wondered if Kitesurfing gear would fit. (For those rare trips to the Coast.) Alas, there is enough space for 3-4 kites and a gear bag to go behind the LWBS... But, I COULD NOT fit a twin-tip Kiteboard. Seems I am left with (depending on the situation) the following options: a) leaving wife at home, or b) investing in a roof rack, or c) getting buddies to take an extra board to the coast, and leaving it there.

Go with option b, that's what I'm doing for my bikes! Will be posting pics of my T with a bike as soon as it arrives (down to 5 weeks now!).

Hiya ! Porsche Colchester just called and my T has just arrived at the dealership ! We have pencilled in collection for this Weds 25th April in the afternoon. Just to remind you I have ordered guards red, carbon bucket seats, carbon brakes, rear steer, no PCM, red Pirelli colour edition tyres, special T badging on back, red gauges, light glass, black headlights, tinted rear lights. Really excited!

Thanks fir the info and the pics!

It does look to have a large space in the back indeed, but limited to many smaller items.

I think I would do the roof box in your case too.

Cheers!

No roof box. Just a board (in a board bag) strapped to roof cross/load bars. I’ve also seen an Audi R8 with a sucker type rack on the bag window with a Kiteboard attached. (Yikes.)

Well, that may be even easier (and cheaper too!).

In any case, those LWB seats look fantastic!

Picking my T up tomorrow. Swapping from a 991.2 GTS PDK, just fancied a change. Hope it was the right decision, really looking forward to having a manual 911.
