We'll pick our new C4S up from Zuffenhausen in early February. Not the best time of year to be driving around Europe but thats how its worked out. Any tips/advice/suggestions you have would be much appreciated.
Over the years we have spent plenty of time in Europe, but this is our first factory delivery experience. Our plan is to spend about a week touring around, Paris being the only must do city at my wife's request. Mt plan is to hit the ring at some point. Is it better to do this during the week or weekend? Can you get onto the circuit with the license plate provided by the factory for European delivery?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Btw, if anyone is interested in a brand new unused USMillworks plate let me know, I took it out of the packaging and practiced putting in on, then never used it! Quick release, 1/2 price for 991 version.

Do that really make you do that? I heard other German delivery brands destined for the US don't make you do that but supposedly Porsche does. That's radically unacceptable if true.

Yes they do, your dealer may 'cover' it at their discretion, but otherwise you are on the hook to escrow that amount... not sure if that also applies when you do ED on a PFS lease car...

Then dont think about lapping your new 911 around the Nurburgring, Spa, Hockenheim etc ... or doing an indicated 189mph on the German autobahns, looping down the Stelvio pass, or listening to the howl of your flat six as you accelerate thru a tunnel on the french/italian riviera ... instead savor the thrill
accelerating to a blistering 65mph (traffic permitting) on your nearest freeway.

Larry, I think you have may have taken my initial comment wrong. I am most sure ED is absolutely awesome. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard a negative ED story. I've considered doing it msyelf, and may one day do it if scheduling permits. In the meantime, I'll enjoy the fun, open roads outside my door.
