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 !

Will be a shock to reality when you have to downgrade to your Boxster then :poke:

[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.

Not sure I will be allowed!!!

This is why she told me to keep lotus to keep doing that. However the insurance I has sorted for her includes two free track days.....
