Can you explain what the FIN is ? I orderd mine two weeks ago (I am an expat and ordered it via mail at a Porsche Center in my home country). I'll go and visit my dealer next week so I hope to find out final delivery date (now: 31/10/2019). Perhaps I can ask him the FIN ?

Very nice video, but your own videos are better, especially with the musical accompaniment! 😉

Great video! Great scenery... as always beautiful car. Must be a good friend! Never mind me sharing my car, I’ll probably even make my friends take their shoes off just to get in to look at the car... hahahaha

Posting some pictures here of my Aventurine 992 (C2S) I took delivery of a few days ago. Spec is simpler than our Swiss friend @DKST and as you can all see I am probably one of 5% or so who will not opt for the sports exhaust, as I preferred the quad-end pipes. Interior is black. I have hardly had time to properly test it out but so far impressions are;


Feels more relaxed and mature than a 991.2 when driving calmly/slowly, but feels more aggressive in sport / sport plus modes. Suits me very well as this is a daily driver.
sound at idle is a bit dull, sound when revving is not bad at all. There are pops and crackles for this exhaust as well.
very very fast.
annoying not to see the two outer dials
I am very satisfied with the colour, looks truly amazing
Cupholder not included any longer as it turns out this can create situations where your finger gets stuck and then accidentally engage (P) which could in turn cause an emergency brake when driving.. not very well thought through. I would have removed it anyway though.

All in all I am extremely happy so far despite a few quirks!

Nice build - the third picture with the side view looks great. Nice to see the color with the green trees in the background. .

Many congrats! Lovely color, again. What is your choice in interior and trim?

I went with standard trim and black leather. Not full leather actually but the leather package option, and standard seats. No sunroof. If I have any regrets in terms of my spec it would be not going for the full leather as well as not opting for some other trim, carbon pack for example, as the standard trim feels a bit cheap. Comfort seats would have been nice but these seats are very comfortable and offer great support. Also I did not opt for the alcantara roof lining which definitely is a nice addition. I had to stick to a certain budget though and despite c. EUR 15k of options my 992 will probably be one of the most lightly specced to see the light of day...

I think it's enough with the compliments. Every time I check this thread it's a compliment. It's a nice car and he is very handsome but let's try to add something meaningful to the post about the car in the thread.
