Thanks, I think so too. Not cheap by any stretch, but the deal felt right

Welcome back, Cowan! :)

Your Macan Turbo looks great & I too can’t wait to see your GT3 when it arrives!

Any pics of the Italian exotica that you’ve enjoyed? 🇮🇹

Cheers,
Simon

Well done getting a GT3 Touring allocation. Would love one of them.

Pictures needed when collected.

Cheers Jon, will do! I was going to add the spec code for the GT3 touring, but the configurator doesn't do the colour justice in the slightest.. It'll be a 1 of 1 in the UK (apparently), but I fully intend to use it properly, as I have all my cars in the past (put 5k on my last Huracan EVO rwd in just over a year).. The colour will be PTS Anthracite brown metallic, Neodyme coloured wheels and Exclusive manufacture Cohiba brown interior with 18 way seats. The configurator makes it look too brown. In sunlight it's almost agate grey with a mokka fleck, but the finish is almost liquid in appearance.
Sounds fantastic! I must admit I’m a big fan of the cognac/black interior myself but looking forward to seeing yours. A pal of mine (First Sea Lord on here) has a touring in agate with the darker yellow stitching on black from memory but either way it’s a wonderful motor.
The only comment he might make is how comfortable it may or may not be on UK roads to put any reasonable mileage on, but that may be subjective and I’ll let him tell you about it 👍
Ha! I have been known to comment about the GT3's ride once or twice. Your spec sounds lovely. I often wish I'd gone for the cognac interior, having now seen a couple in real life. Look forward to seeing pictures of yours in due course

My thoughts on my car are here: viewtopic.php?t=13657

The engine really is quite something. The speed at which it revs, the mid range punch and the noise are all intoxicating. And the steering just feels very right.

Welcome back. It's the first time in a long while to find a post from someone who has been on the forum longer than me. I'm sure you'll enjoy your S (until the GT3 arrives).

Hello again! Is your name Simon? Apologies if I’m wrong, but I do remember talking to you a fair bit back in the day👍. Hope you are doing well!
Cheers,
Cowan
P.s. some Italian stuff

Haha thanks! 😄. I do recognise a number of names on the forum 👍. I’m reducing the number of cars I have from 5 to 4.. a Caterham 420S and Elise sport 220 are making way for the Macan Turbo. Just can’t use them enough these days and the Landie isn’t ideal for motorway work at 14mpg.. even with a 120L long range tank.. Looking forward to getting back in a Macan!
