CAN ANYONE BEAT THIS FOR FRUSTRATION??
Judging by my vin I was the first (or one of) on this forum to have their car delivered for PDI.
Arrived in UK late Feb I believe.
Should have collected around 10th March, but the dealer informed me there was a ‘bottleneck’ at the sole UK centre for all carrera PDI’s.
Fair enough but when informed of further delays I demanded to speak to the dealer manager - after all I’ve spent £200k+ ($250k) with them in last 8 mnths!!
That’s when they informed me there’d been a ‘slight accident when offloading from trailer for PDI’.
The tyre was slashed and the alloy damaged.
They ordered a replacement alloy from Germany but the wrong colour arrived !!!
Finally last Tuesday the right colour arrived and the car was collect for PPF - it will be back at the dealer next week. I haven’t seen it yet!
The whole saga begs lots of questions, but hopefully I’ll finally be collecting late next week.
Can anyone beat that??

Thanks for posting. I've always enjoyed his channel. VERY Positive review. Particularly impressed with his comment "If I owned a Carrera S right now I'd absolutely sell it for the Carrera T. This car just feels way more exciting than a Carrera S even with less power".

Question: if you select the standard "T" interior with the Lizard stitching and then add the back seat, do the back seats also get Lizard Green stitching and the Green stripped seat inserts? asking since the configurator when you do this shows the back seat inserts as not the "T" ones and only the regular ones?

He was impressed about the sound in the cabin. That is very special coming from someone with a GT3. Also saying there was a hint of GT3 sound above 6000rpm. So I don’t agree with you. Its a lot more than I expected to be honest. He was less impressed by the sound from outside but who cares? This was also confirmed in many other videos. Also coming from someone changing an exhaust on a GT3 you should not take this as something very negative?
I AM STOKED!
You have won on many points already. But did not wish this for you. Hope you will forget it all once it arrives. What clothes?
Yes that is confirmed already.

I have to say Burmester sound is pretty good, better than I expected in a noisy 911

I would want to see the car… wheel and tyre is annoying, but not a major problem. Hopefully it all gets resolved fast.

To be fair to him he was actually complimentary about the sound inside the cabin. Think it was the sound outside he was less positive about. He even said there was a GT3 ish sound at the top end. Good enough for me!

What clothes?
Yeah, what to wear … decisions decisions.
Headgear is easy, has to be the cap of the greatest soccer team that ever graced the face of this earth.
For the rest it'll probably be a silvery grey top and titanium grey trousers..TBC
