Congrats on the great car and experience. I did my first Euro Delivery in 1983, my most recent in 2001. I'll be picking up a 911 coupe next June. I've got a question about your front license mounting. Was that provided by Porsche or did you bring the mounting device yourself? If so, where did you source it from?
Not at all. Estoril is a relatively pale color, Nogaro is more like the blue equivalent of "arrest me red".
CONGRATULATIONS!! European Delivery is in my blood. There's nothing like driving your own car thru Europe. You picked the right countries and the best time of the year. I see that Porsche changed their system of securing the front plate or you brought the holder with you? if you live in a state that doesn't require a front plate I would leave the Zoll plate on.
Love the color, let's see some landscape pictures!.

YES! I am not a fan of sunroofs because it interrupts the way the color of the car. Plus, the added bonus of less weight and more headroom for a helmet.
I'll post up the option list later after I can confirm, but it's a manual trans, no sunroof, premium package (PDLS/18-way adaptive sport seats), front axle lift, rear axle steering, alcantara seat inserts/steering wheel/belt outlets/visors, aluminum trim, and porsche crests on the headrest, black gauges.
I'm happy with the balance of sport with luxury. The base 991 is a nice car, but I was left wanting more power. Plus you lose out on RWS and PTV if you get the base. I'm tired of modding cars and this one is hopefully capable-enough that I wont want to modify it at all.

Wow, stunning! I well remember the first time I saw, in the flesh, a first gen S4 in the launch color of Nagaro; I had an A4 2.8 at the time (a 1997) and was in getting some service (a frequent event!) when they unloaded the first S4 off the truck, in Nagaro. I was mesmerized. And thankfully they didn't sell many.
Subaru has put a lot of bright blue cars on the road, but when you see the real thing, you realize what a difference there is.
Again, truly stunning -- you've mixed my favorite loud blue with my favorite sportscar! Cheers to you!

Beautiful color. I really wanted to order a San Marino Blue F80, but in the end, the 911 got me.

As a loooong time Audi owner with now 11 in current plus past I really applaud your effort and the color choice. Fantastic. I just about pulled the trigger on an RS5 cabrio ordered in Nagaro. I should have done it but did end up with my 911 instead for my commute that the RS5 would have eaten too much gas for. I went overboard on Suzuka myself and about to head towards Nardo for my next round of Audis I think (missing my RS7).
