Are you allowed to share any further thoughts on how the R drives Jack now you've driven it in anger? :-)

And finally... the end of the road. Thanks for putting up with all my posts in this thread. But this is the 'finale' clip where Elvan and I drove the hillclimb stage won by an original 911R back in 1969. The road was great. The car looks great. My on-screen acting, well... 'it is what it is,' as they say. 
And so it's in the same post, here's the cell-phone-shot clip, which has less polish than the final one, but captures a different, down-on-the-ground aspect of that day's driving.
As always, I'm very grateful to Porsche AG and Patrick Long for choosing me for this. What a blast.

dash info display and seats
This may have been answered before.
If you opt for no PCM, do you still get the car details (temp, oil, etc) on the dash in the little window? just no nav, radio displays I presume.
Also, does anyone know if the leather seat cushions can be replaced with alcantera? I'm hesitant for the LWBS as they're so impractical but don't want to be constantly sliding on leather. How grippy is the houndstooth fabric?
Thanks.

Hello Jack, many thanks for your posts....just a question: by driving 911R...did you feel any sensation that you feel irrimediably lost in modern cars (starting from 991RS) ?
tks in advance

Now the most important question: who won?
