John - got the same email from Richard today and been having a chat with him. He tells me used 991 GT3 prices in UK have got hysterical with a number asking 150-160k GBP although you'll probably only get 135k from dealer in hand as they make margin. Bit crazy given most are less than 12 months old but shows what happens when PAG limit the RHD numbers in a market like UK. All the other GT3 models going silly there too so it's systemic! If my GT3 sells in the future may well be following the footsteps of your 3.6T!! We were talking GT4 and Richard doubts he'll even be able to get one!!! The GT4 will alter market dynamics in Europe & Usa but if the UK is restricted can only see them going up in value like GT3!!!! For cars to go up so fast in value from new and stay there for 15 months since deliveries started only getting stronger is very unusual and shows how messed up the UK market is...,

Talking to a Pcar dealer today, I understand NZ allocation of GT4's is only about 5 cars and that production will be limited.

Circa $185K in NZ.

I think they are making it up to create interest. I don't believe any dealer in the world has allocation numbers and as of Wednesday PnZ didn't know pricing tho logic and other markets shows it will be approx 13% up on GTS price. It will definitely be difficult to land one this year as RHD cars won't make NZ till Nov soonest...

My Cayman is Guards - I haven't seen the Carmine red yet in the flesh yet but it looks great in photos. Not sure what colour the GT4 would look best in - I'd love it in viper green but that would be PTS.

Apparently the demo cars coming are sliver (not sure which one) & blue. Suspect they'll be well driven

Demo cars? Why bother if you are only receiving 5?

Took a run up to Port Albert today via Hellensville and stopped for lunch in Wellsford before heading back via the motorway, lot of traffic heading back and should have gone SH16 but.....next time.

Nice one, let me know if you ever need company, will make any excuse to get the Turbo out for a drive. Very envious of the colour!

Does anyone have a copy of pcm 2.1 New Zealand maps on dvd?

Is that is all that's need to change the nav from uk to nz?
