Given the lighting scheme in your garage, you might want to rename it "Bordello White".

Seriously, beautiful car and a stellar man-cave.

Gentleman -

This car is incredible. Thanks to Mr. SWB for his generosity last week.

I can't imagine the depth of the knowledge one must have to perform to this level of craftsmanship.

Also want to commend you on the honesty - when I was thinking about buying a Mclaren their forum only allowed owners which is similar to the guys here who moved to FB to share their ownership experience. Eventually enough guys like yourself wanted to share the good and the bad vs the mystery. As time went on it was far more helpful for everyone including the factory and dealers.

Porsche performed incredibly well - and this thread is proof.

Anyway - I am sure there are other issues and wanted to Thank You for showing us all the good and the bad.
You could be assured they had the head mechanic on the phone or using some form of a Skype program near the 918 to help out. I don't know if 918 dealers' received special training for the 918. The not sending enough fluid several times I feel is unacceptable for a company as professional and cultivated for a GERMAN company such as Porsche.

Sounds worse than replacing a CGT clutch. Grateful it's still in warranty!

Love that garage. If I ever get a house built I would like to put some Air-Walls between the garage and whatever room is next to the garage... Some type of man cave?
