Delivered on 25 December. On 'road' test discovered cracking noise from the gearbox. Not covered under warranty so into the workshop for repair....
Following repair, which was an assembly fault, carried out off-road test to confirm successful outcome:
The real one is due end of May. I do hope it doesn't suffer anything similar otherwise I will regret jumping ship.

I’m hoping my wife buys me a Porsche for my birthday.

My good lady did just that a couple of years ago, the 911 RSR is an amazing model. This Xmas it was a Ducati Panigale, now I’m teasing her saying she’s just given an ex alcoholic a large whisky!

Obviously Land Rover quality issues spread into the model world as well.

I blame shoddy workmanship.
Whatever you do do not test drive it until it has been thoroughly checked by a Professional Engineer.
The services of one such person are available, simply box it up and post it to me.
I’ll thoroughly check it out and road test it under a very varied and detailed regime.
The testing will be in line with Porsche’s own test programme, ie fag packet design and five years to road test.
Awaiting delivery
