Thank goodness there was a button to switch the start/stop system off. It was a pain in the neck.

That's the one they are lending me in a couple of weeks for 3 days!!

Taking it on a jolly to Gloucester.

Agree on lights, obviously they are the best wheels though. Much better than the fuddy duddy ones on the 50th anniversary one.

Other friends 50th anniversary turned up last week, I told them you could wait for yours.

IT-when I have it I'll come pick you up for a dirty weekend. I've just come back from Anglesey then

Put 600 miles on it

As PVR says the sports exhaust is something else

Specced it up on configurator, £106k !!

Holy Hell that's bright!  No way I would have that as an interior colour, even if I have a 'man pink' car....

I like the little touch that when you raise the spoiler, that another brake light appears as the normal one is hidden.

The 20 " wheels are surprisingly smooth I have to say, not at all a harsh ride.

Funny you mention the ride, I think it is really bad and we have the same wheel set up!!!

I have a much wider track at the rear if you are comparing it to the Boxster. How did the 911 compare to yours?
