Loan 991 Cab until further notice
Loan 991 Cab until further notice
As Porsche GB seem to be inept at communicating properly with their dealers about the delivery of the Mrs' new car I have had a grumble and got this until her new car turns up.
It seems that the first batch of Boxsters to come over have been subject to increased QC and were held longer at the port than they would have been normally
The problem being that I sold the TT weeks ago (based on their original ETA) and I just can't take the Lotus to certain places because of insurance reasons
It is an ok stop gap !

[quote=""wilkoturbo""]Insurance reasons ??[/quote]
Track/weekend car
Needs to be locked in garage after 10
No bus use
Only allowed to take to my work as private space under my office window
To change the policy was very expensive
New car at dealer now so pick up tomorrow.
