Wow. New Rule: Going forward people that’s Medicare age (that’s 65+ in the US) should clarify what type of stick you’re getting, ha.



PS, Respect if you’re over 70 and getting a 3 pedal T! @Barkat03 u know I have photographic memory and you were age 69 mentioned earlier this year so assuming u r 70 by now. Respect!

Due to ULEZ regs, Barkat is taking his horse and carriage to the City, and he takes his 992 T out of town

Default Update on the T

Just about 8k miles on my 2023 Carrera T in 72 days. I believe it would be fitting to review this car, consolidate my thoughts, the wonderful experiences, also the small things that have become apparent to me while driving, so I’ll post that soon.

Edit also don't forget to update all mileage! I would love to see how everyone is enjoying their car!

Outstanding. Looking forward to it! Curious if there are any options that you regret optioning or not optioning?

I will talk more in-depth about that in my review, There are only a few things I was unable to get, and again in my review, I'll elaborate.
I spent 4 months specing a T when it came out, way before I even had an allocation or had to lock in a build, so after talking it over with some of my friends who have owned 911s and my dad who has owned some, I was able to finalize a build after 7 months of specing T's I thought I had a build that would be perfect. things rarely work out exactly the way you want so there were compromises. but I am happy with my T.

@ECNJ Pívot is correct about horse & carriage being quicker to central London.
The map below shows all 20mph speed limit areas in green (speed cameras all along the way).
For context Greater London is over 600 sq miles, bigger than any major US city!!

I found someone older than me😄
@Barkat 03 Not sure if I will be 74 or 75 by the time my next T is delivered the first being jettisoned. Could be a close call as don't know if it is in production or not yet?
Wait times at Emden might mean the wrong side of 75, @ ECNJ by the way new rules don't apply to me I am not a rule kind of guy.
Barkat @ post 18619 you mentioned watching as a kid Mario Andretti win the South African Grand Prix in 1971, later that year I completed in the Springbok winter series including the kylami 9 hours. It was the year I first met my South African wife to be in Johannesburg, Sadly she lost her fight with cancer 7 years ago,
71 brings back happy memories for me.
I don't envy you and Pivot living in or so close to ULEZ
Ten years + or so when young is a hell of a gap and at my age it is nothing to contemplate!

I think this calls for some expert photoshops of your Black T in front of these landmarks
