That bloke is the audio - visual equivalent of a root canal. I had to switch it off after less than a minute.

That guy has either anger issues or he's over caffeinated. Maybe both.

Good point, that was interesting to see.

The only reason I suffered through the whole thing is because my C2S doesn't arrive until March, and I love seeing any video with the interior that I got (chalk/slate). Guy's definitely an *** though

Agreed that this was not pleasant to watch - I think I understated 'aggressive' a bit My apologies!

But curious now if the 'half' footrest is just a thing on the right hand drive 992? Would the PDK box be in the way?

See the photo I posted earlier in thread of my left hand drive foot rest and compare it to the right hand drive foot rest in video. There does appear to be a significant difference.

What little credibility this obnoxious, narcissistic, prototypical modern "porsh" owner had at the beginning of the video went out the window the instant he referred to the G meter as the turbo pressure on the info screen and it only got worse from there.

The only point he made for me was reaffirming and clearly illustrating the type of buyer Porsche wants to attract with the 992 and when you see the emphasis of the free Porsche mug, bag and gloves and infotainment connectivity as major talking points you know that Porsche has hit their mark.

Seeing that the 992 caters to this exact type of "Porsche lifestyle" buyer I'd expect more of these worthless videos in the future complete with the Porsche mug coffee break and designer jacket

He is a former world champion kick boxer so naturally he considers his feet comfort important.

Would somebody be so kind as to post a right-hand drive comparison? I'm an unfortunate big footed loof

Dude fled the UK to run his Videochat & Pickup-artist businesses in Bucharest. Search for "cobra tate" on instagram if you want to cringe like you've never cringed before.
