Hi guys
I understand I am to get an invite on a Porsche experience day as a part of buying a new Panamera 4s.

Anyone know how long the invite takes after buying the car; mines been a month and I haven't heard anything.

Anyone in uk got dates set - be good to meet.

I got an email about six weeks before my delivery date.

Is that the European version of Porsche Destination Drives?

Email your dealer and ask?

Last time I did it, we split time 50/50 with another car. Good fun if you can get away with it!

i've not recieved my date yet either so will contact the dealer.

i'll be splitting my day 50/50 with my wife so she can experience driving on a track.

i also received email about 4 weeks before delivery. as yet i've not booked it as work and other stuff just hasn't allowed me to find the time. will definitely do this though.

thorfun

Good luck with that!!

The going rate for paying customers is £400 to £500, so if you get a freebie, I'll be impressed!

Wing Commander

Yep. Any new Porsche purchase should get you a half day at the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone.

I got an experience with my new Macan last year and one with my new Panamera this year. This time around I shared my experience with my 21 year old daughter. I drove a new Panamera SD for just over an hour and then my daughter went out in a Boxster for an hour or so. They seem less keen to 'split' or share the sessions now, but will do if asked.

The invite from PEC should come through about a month after you order your car. Chase the dealer (UK) if you have heard nothing a month after ordering your new Porsche and paying your deposit. Or ring PEC, Silverstone direct.

I got a freebie so be impressed

Helps that car was delayed two months. Very lucky 21 year old! Putting bad/good ideas in her head.

Wing Commander

Very good! So you both got to drive for 2 to 2.5 hours each? Well done!

Ha ha - yes, Emma really enjoyed it! Although luckily she still loves her little Peugeot 107!

It helps that I have referred a couple of people to the same guy, so don't hold back on the freebie requests (even if most are ignored!!).

My first car was a 206 Quiksilver. Coolest car on the block, especially with the clear brake lights I had installed and dare I admit, illegal blue LEDs in the windscreen washers. Cannot decide if I have evolved or regressed in the last 15 years.

Wing Commander

Ha ha! Evolved, definitely!

I remember with fondness my boy racer black Ford XR2 that I had as my second ever car, back in 1988 or 1989. Managed to write it off on the M23...
