992 Carrera T Club
Can’t believe seeing all these pictures of people finally getting their cars. It was all worth the long wait! Let’s keep the pictures and reviews coming everyday.
@Uhu What a great looking car! GT silver is just a perfect color for the T. And indeed the Burmester doesn’t break your interior since you got the silver trim inlays. It all matches. About the clutch: I have to say I have not driven a manual for a very long time so did not notice the heavy clutch. I think it’s a lot lighter than that of my 991.2 T but I easily can be mistaken there. To me it feels just perfect. We gotta get these T’s together soon.

Gladly and no problem, but in May at the earliest, as I will drive the car to the detailer on Monday (Xpel + ceramic, etc). A short trip to the Porsche Museum and the mandatory picture in front of it, could be also in the cards.
The first night drive will be on Monday, in the early morning, I will write down a little feedback after that.
Went with the silver tips because otherwise the lower area would have been all dark and black.

Here is one from the interior, I will try tomorrow or on Monday to get better ones, but the light is really bad these days. The seat-belts are also slate grey, but under direct light sometimes they look "black" or dark dark grey.
Also, there should be a Porsche crest on the center console lid, but again, bad light conditions.
The interior is not quite black, more "dark grey" and it exudes "luxury" and "good haptic" feelings. The slate gray stitching is "visible" enough, even in dark cloudy weather.

Three things that I was worried about the most were noise (lack of insulation), radio (no Bose) and ride quality (too harsh). All are not an issue at all. Noise is same as my wife's 21 Tacoma. Which we take cross country all the time. Not an issue at all. Base radio sounds really good. No qualms at all. And ride is amazing.

@Macboy Thank you. Your red chariot is not too shabby either. Just I don't see where the mandatory (for NL) trailer hitch is mounted on it?!

I know you are joking, but actually I asked for a towbar and the OPC politely declined.
I want it to mount my Ducati eMTB, not to tow horse-box 🤦♂️
at this angle looks a little too large, with 992 broad shoulders it would look better… but no such an option.

I had Thule on my Macan S. It can carry the weight, but I had three issues with it:
1. The vertical arm was a little short for high-suspension bike with higher centre of gravity
2. The clamp was too small for the ‘battery tube’ (at the time I had Ducati MIG-S, so battery was fatter)
3. I didn’t want dripping mud and stones on my windshield and panoramic roof
so I got a towbar-mounted eBike rack. Works much better with mounting and lateral forces while driving.

I bought a Boxter 550 Anniversary edition in 2005, totally lovely car. Later had to sell it with family growing. Got various Cayennes, Macans and a Taycan, but chicks have flown the nest so back to the sports cars😄

Full-suspension bike with 180mm front and 160mm rear travel is a diff proposition.
After being pushed off the road, I moved to off-road. More fun, I feel like I am 5 YO again, when I go through the streams and mud 😆
