D is for done!

 

@Macboy Thanks for that bit of information.

My problem is the seemingly poor connectivity of Apple Car Play. Every time I get into the car it seems to take 3 or 4 mins to connect to it.
I didn't have this issue on the Taycan or Cayenne and I have the same settings now as back then.
Weird?!

 

Should not be the case. Did you try to plug it in with a USB cable to see if it’s different? Do you use the WiFi hotspot? Maybe delete all and forget the Bluetooth and start all over again?

I have always loved the painted center tunnel on the 997's. I think its very tasteful if you want a splash of color. I have seen the painted vents etc and felt like it was a little much. For me with the 992 I think that other the GT silver the painted trim pieces are a little too much color but understand why someone might like it. I ordered my python green with the lizard green carrera T package with both tach and clock with lizard green so I do love to have some tie in with the outside. Honestly, I love it when someone decides to step out a little and make it theirs. It would be so boring if we all were driving the same looking cars. For the life of me I cannot see why carmine red has not been ordered more than it has I think that is a nice subtle color that compliments the lines on the T. I have owned more guards red Porsches than I can comment on and of course love it but Carmine red reminds me more of polo red which is such a cool color on vintage Porsches.

 

@ECNJ
Another example of the creative genius that is ECNJ.
We are blessed to have him on this forum, I mean after all how many other Porsche forums can lay claim to a motoring Picasso???

 

​​​​​@Macboy Yeah plugging it in works but life’s too short and anyway that’s a pain and shouldn’t be necessary.

 

Off to Montreal for the 29th time since 1989 in a bit for the Canadian Grand Prix in the T, can't wait!!

 

Never been there, but I've watched it "live" since 1989. Seen why that wall is the wall of "champions", saw Alesi winning his only F1 race, also Panis' bad luck up to Vettel changing the boards and later.
My last GP was in 2020, at Nürburgring (where else) but usually I am not a fan of "live attending", as I don't like crowds at all.

Have fun! And wave every time you see a camera...

 

thanks for this pic! This is the exact car seat I have and was wondering how would fit in the back seat.

 

Lets hope Merc and Aston Martin have brought more upgrades to close the gap on RBull.
If not it will be another procession😞😞

 

The "problem is", nowadays, the autobahn is more and more clogged with cars and traffic jams and the lane discipline is non existent, the rear-view mirror is an unnecessary appendix (just like the human one) and the art of speed/approach rate guessing is a long lost art. I don't drive faster than 120 mph, unless I drive on a 3+ lane autobahn and at least 2 of them are free.
If you guys intend to do some "speed runs" during your European delivery, just make sure you have enough "room" to start with and (to avoid "Jessi Lang" surprises) be careful when approaching and passing other cars. Drive and plan ahead, as if the other cars will swerve without notice in front of you. The autobahn might be "unrestricted", but the "recommended" speed is 130 km/h and any accident above that speed will automatically have you at fault, unless you can demonstrate in court that the accident would have happen anyway, disregarding the above 130 speed.

Short anecdote: was driving last week on the autobahn, third lane, came behind a SUV, after a while, seeing that despite having room on the right, he will not change lanes to let me by, I flash him once (you are allowed to do that, to show your intent to overtake, but only once and only from a safe distance behind), nothing.
Behind me, a tuned Seat/Cupra break (think Golf R on steroids). As the SUV guy keeps hogging the lane, the Seat overtakes us on the right, start flashing from only 2-3 meters behind the SUV until it makes him change the lane, lets me by and then joins behind me
Now that's above the so called "Überholprestige" (overtaking prestige - your car looks powerful enough that when approaching other cars on the autobahn, they will make room and let you by, immediately). The T has cars that would clear the road for them, pushing other cars aside

 

So helpful. Been having same frustrations getting CarPlay up with ease so will do exactly this. Thanks @Macboy

 

THANK YOU THAN YOU THANK YOU!!! I've been wondering how to make those exact changes! I hated that NAV is in that left side menu when I never use the car's NAV. Now I can get directly to Android Auto and also to Climate Control to turn off the AC compressor in only two taps rather than three. (Which is still more taps than a physical button! argh! (or I can say "Hey, Porsche. Turn off my air conditioning" and it turns the compressor off. It's just hard to do that with the windows down.)

Thanks!

 

Amen to that! Variety is the spice of life!

Frustrating indeed, though I've yet to personally witness someone passing on the right on the Autobahn. I do have a memorable moment a few years back in a rented Targa 4 GTS. I was doing a speed run and caught up to some guys on racing bikes. One pulled back and got next to me and waved me forward with a gesture suggesting GO GO GO GO GO !!!!! I stepped on it and he got close behind me to enjoy me clearing the air for him while he drafted in the Targa's slipstream.
