Awesome! Can’t wait for your write up to see if it met all your expectations. By the way, the sport classic in green looks great. If that car is also coming to your dealership, could you enquire about the name of the color.

Which one is yours Macboy?
And have you decided what you'll wear to the unveiling - what about a black tie outfit, it'll look good in the pics

Macboy I found you the perfect outfit to wear for the unveiling (with titanium grey trousers)!
Hope you like it…

I received my body shop first photo last week. The hack shows my car has been V250 (ready for production) for over a week. It's still scheduled to complete production today, and based on the timing of the paint booth shot, that sounds feasible. But today the hack shows V260, which is the start of painting (duh!). I guess TYD is days behind. Nothing new, just mostly venting. I'm fully expecting to suddenly get all my pics and for TYD to show about 4 steps all on the same day. That's what happened with my Cayman last year. It was a good Thanksgiving weekend in 2021. Let's hope for a good April this year! (and Michelins! )

I just don’t get why with modern technology Porsche is not capable of supplying more up to date and comprehensive communication about each individual stage of production??!!
My friend ordered an Audi S3 couple of months ago and has not just received regular updates and pics, he’s even had a video!!

Just went to the dealer to make some pictures. They still left the car park outside so I could drive it myself inside. So have started the beauty and used the manual to drive it inside. It feels phenomenal! I got to peal of most things but left also some things inside the car. The pictures bomb will be coming. Getting the car in 2 weeks probably. Will make a double delivery along with a friend of mine his GT4 RS.

Well even though you got humor, you would probably not believe that I actually like that outfit (but with white trousers)

I dunno - I'm kind of amazed and impressed about the info that we do get. Maybe Audi does this a little better...but that doesn't take away the excitement I'll get seeing photos of my car on the production line.

It is. It's in this thread and others. I don't have links handy. It's also on YouTube here

So here comes the photobomb. Part 1.

Amazing color in the sun and pictures came out better than I thought when making them. You have to click them to get the better look. I then parked the car in the shadow thought it was better than in the sun.





And here are the pictures in the shadow:

Congrats man - looks amazing and I agree the shots in the shade look great.
I think the 992 version of the 911 is not just the best looking 911 ever, it’s the best looking Porsche in the entire range!!
