Unfortunately, the car has a long way to go as I live in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Stop teasing. 1 more pic please showing both front and back wheels and T side decal (ha, I guess decal would be a given if so)…..

Just returned form my Porsche Experience day at Silverstone F1 circuit.
Drove a (test car) manual T for the full 3 hours on a variety of circuits including skid pans and other surfaces.
The instructor was brilliant and has ***** of steel, telling me not to brake yet but continue accelerating when approaching a corner when I was convinced we were gonna spin!
I've driven Boxsters and BMW M cars but this car's limits are so extensive that to get anywhere near them you need to be at least a semi professional racing driver.
Sunny and dry conditions.
Other observations...
1) The sound of that flat 6 screaming in your ears at 8k revs is something else (I'm still running/breaking my car in so hadn't heard it yet)!
2) Quoting my instructor, driving a manual round a circuit is more challenging, but also more rewarding when you get it right.
3) Even when braking heavily from 60-0 seven or eight times in fairly quick succession didn't result in any brake fade.

And finally...Given a choice between an S and a T the instructor would get the T. Says it just feels a bit more 'alive' and on a fairly winding curvy track like today's the times are virtually identical.
If your Porsche purchase includes a Porsche Experience Centre, you must ensure you actually use it, not everyone does.
In fact about 25% of attendees paid to attend the course in order to try out different cars before deciding which model / options to buy.

And finally finally...
In the small entrance museum they had my favourite Porsche of all time on display. It had raced at Daytona and Le Mans, was rescued from the USA and repainted from red to GT Silver.
Valued at £3m and identical to the 'little bastard' 550 James Dean sadly died in.
It's a beauty!

I’m thinking about getting bronze rims on black. I think the T decal adds a lot to overall look…glad u got it. Ha, not to keep mentioning the wing. Look forward to seeing more mods.

Also, I got another email today advising me that the vehicle will be transported to GB shortly. So, something is happening at Emden.
