Getting back to the Goodwood Revival Festival..
Some of those old cars are worth a fortune but they drive them just as aggressively as anything!
This video could be from any era or any race at the Festival!

Hi all, I’m new to 911. I have a T on order with anticipated delivery this summer, very excited. I was a little hesitant about the T at first when compared to an S model, but the value proposition of a T with all the performance goodies and manual transmission sold it to me.

Hopefully this time around the process will be smoother. When I ordered my Cayman it was at the port and was supposed to be on Felicity Ace, but luckily missed that fire, landed on SFL Composer, hit rough seas, bunch of cars got damaged, that caused a month long delay with no update if the car had any damage. After that I thought to myself, never ordering a Porsche again… here I am.

Same here. Just wished mine could leave port and start sailing over here. My app and SA says it will take another month before that happens…

Would be hard to think of a dislike other than getting stuck with poor weather.

This is weekend before so can double up on your car events

Like everyone says, FoS is much more a party atmosphere. But pretty wild getting to see breadth of machinery going up the hill. Members Meeting which just happened last week much more laid back and limited crowds; plus get to see stuff like 80’s touring cars etc.
Awesome. I’m into anything and everything cars! Miss going to Concourse d’Elegance pebble beach. Did you get your T yet? I see you’re in Beantown. You should join us for our future mini NYC metro 992 T cars & coffee if/when we get ourTs.

There were some pics of a chalk car in the last week or two. I think it was a dealer spec car...

I took this pic this morning at the dealer. Someone was looking for a color comparison between the mirror and side decal, can't remember who but it's chalk.

THANKS! That was me. So in person, how close are the grays of decal to the mirrors?

Pretty close I'd say Adam but I really had to stare to compare if that helps.
