Default Stop-Use CGT!

Now, I'm not fortunate enough to own one, but I would be pi$$3d off if I did.

The risk is if you have an accident attributable to the APA3 Stop Drive campaign, you will not have insurance cover. However small the risk may be. Bad enough if you damage your CGT, but it you hit third party vehicles of worse......

In the UK, PCGB are providing an expenses paid Exclusive Driving Experience for the UK owners in the Spring for 3 days in Spain driving GT3RS's on track. Also we will receive a free 'Maintence Package' when the new suspension parts are installed.

Our insurers have removed road cover in the UK.

Oh damn! That would be cool if we get some perks here! And probably +10% value after the recall!

Jalopnik is a bunch of click bait. Nothing in this “article” that we already don’t know. Porsche is approaching this rarely occurring issue with an abundance of caution. My car just had Ohlins installed and the spherical joints and chassis connections were fine with no corrosion. If a car were exposed to corrosive environments…coastal, salted roads, etc…then maybe an issue occurs. I’ll continue to drive mine on reasonable roads.. I’m not off-roading or doing anything crazy.

I'd love to drive mine, and watching it sit forever is driving me crazy..but we can't risk injury to ourselves or others...that said...paying for insurance when I can't drive it feels pretty stupid.

Sounds like it's time to part with it.

Exactly.
Mods, delete this thread.
It's like pouring salt on our wounds.
