Best Devon Racer.
It’s the barrels that would ocd me. When spec’ing I gave them a 30 sec look and thought, are you crazy? Been there done that with too many complicated rim patterns, This time around, mat black T wheels and GT Silver. Just spray & play! Good choice D/R. 🛞

…unless you are commenting on a specific picture, then it adds context. Keep the picture you are calling attention to.

Disagree. Lots of brake dust visible on mine in no time. But with the appropriate tools, cleaning them including inside the barrels is pretty easy.

Beautiful but not only are they a pain to clean, they are the heaviest wheels by about 5lbs per corner. Pass.

Many miles, one milestone

Dear Mr. Tourenwagen,

You and your Porsche vehicle have reached an important milestone—your first anniversary of ownership. No matter where your journey takes you, we trust that every mile spent behind the wheel has been engaging and exhilarating. While our history of engineering and refinement pushes us to innovate, so does the extended family of drivers throughout the entire world—a family that you are very much a part of.

Thank you for your Porsche Passion, and here’s to many more happy miles together.

Default A happy morning with my factory pics received




Guess I technically lost the tire lottery with Goodyears, but couldn’t be happier to see regardless! Add one to the gentian blue specs!

All the best,
Devon Racer.
PS. Perhaps fellow T owners @Pivot and @LuckyP might be around as they are Goodwood fellows? Sorry not to be there myself.
I missed MM81, but I had a coffee with @Barkat03 today, greetings to everyone

Congrats! Gentian is stunning and Goodyears are on par with Michelins.

Happy anniversary @tourenwagen and @Scott P!!!

Thanks @Wilder and congrats as well to @tourenwagen . I wonder though, I didn't get my car until 4/27. Maybe the letter from Porsche was triggered by the day they took it to Emden?
