let’s hope so!

On a side note, been clearing the garage for 2 days now, 8 yd skip is full, only problem is the floor. It’s oak boards laid over chipboard, laid over the concrete floor. Had to take out the first two layers by the doors as the whole floor went through expansion over the last few winters.
DIY job incoming!

need to fit in two cars, hot my C4S and the wife’s Macan turbo arriving at the same time now 🤪

According to TYD, as of today September 18th, it's now been built and is awaiting transit to Emden. But "My Porsche' still shows it in Step #1, no pictures and no VIN #. So who knows? At this point I'd settle for an Ultra Sound . . . . LOL

What are you having done? Did you get the nerve up to try PPF again on this one?

No PPF other than the extended cuts on the rear quarter panels... and with no intent of fueling another PPF debate. I’ve personally learned that PPF causes me more headaches than enjoyment.

I’ve also bought in on tracwrap for DE/track days.

Basically looking at 31% tax on a 992 as of next year, unless people learn to get along and sort out a trade agreement.
Ah figured it was a Euro issue...yes sucks.

My car just hit the port. Waiting on a ship...SA says its the Sara Leader leaving sometime around 6 Oct 20 so waiting...

The Goodwood has docked in Dartmouth/Halifax as of this morning! Now, unload a bunch on Porsches for my Canadian brethren and hit the high seas for Houston ASAP.

If the most recent information I have been provided is accurate, EPA certification is to occur on/before the 30th.

Not sure, but I’ve seen the plant where they make them.... once it hits production they definitely don’t hang about.
