Main reason he ended up ordering a new one was he didn't want the PCCB's. Interesting that it is now off the market - must have been a busy afternoon as he was test driving it at 2pm on Saturday!
What spec has he gone with on the GT4?

if he can change the spec delete the roll cage it is a waste of 10k as it doesn't even meet level 2 Cams, same roll cage can be sourced locally for under 2k, money is much better spent on the carbon buckets

Did they move much on the price of either car?

It was me who caused the ad on carsales to disappear, yes a bit of a bombshell decision. Agate is an incredible colour with the black wheels for the GT4, I drove it and was hooked immediately, much better in the flesh plus the those options and the price was too good to refuse. Its only a couple of months old. So I gave up my allocation on my white one and buying this one, they're doing a full wrap and darkest legal tint, will be ready next week. I really hope I dont regret this decision, I welcome others thoughts on this spontaneous decision.

Oh, had the DME read out, came back with zero rev ranges, zero even in range 1.

But your white one is on the boat, so how did you get out of that?

Fantastic- congrats. 918 seats and 918 brakes. Colour combo looks great- especially the interior detail. Awesome pickup.

That's certainly one unique way to avoid the last one month of waiting.

Haha - nice one Jim. It's a great spec.

I'm sure one day you'll meet Paul who is my mate that looked at it on the weekend.

Great looking package! Does it vary much from your white spec?

Seeing as quite a few of you are getting wraps, my question is how to have my dealer out East VIC (PCD) organise wraps as part of the delivery. Any advice I could impart to them or am I best to try to sort off my own bat?

Good on you Jim. Like Agate Grey it was a colour I considered when I specced mine. Very different spec to what you were originally going for....

First delivered off the ship was to Melbourne- officially #1?
Being a 981 Spyder owner, I'd love to know the numbers for them in Aus, can you help?

Congrats on the car James! You got a very nice car at less than what it costs. I offered the car to the guys on AE but there were no takers. Don't worry, nothing wrong with the car at all and it was not thrashed before it was traded.
