I know someone who accepted an offer of a Cayman GT4 RS from his OPC. He had bought 14 Porsches in about 20 years. However they imposed a condition in addition he bought a £10000 Porsche watch and chose a PPTS colour. Having got the car he cannot use it to full capacity on most of the tracks he has visited due to it breaking noise limits

Definitely not a ‘regular’ buyer but had Porsches continuously for 18+ years but I don’t chop and change. Mostly own for 5+ years before I change!
986.2 - 7 years
997.1 TT - 4.5 years
991.1 TTS - 5.5 years
2015 Macan DS 5.5 years
Current Macan 6 months

All serviced at the same OPC!

However with the lead times on the Macan GTS as they are, I’ve already paid a deposit for my next one PRXU4VX3 fancy a change of colour as all my porkers have been quite reserved colour wise

I don’t know which tracks he is trying for but that is the case for a lot of tracks these days - I can’t in the lotus so it sounds like he didn’t do his research

He will need to get a decibel killer or just go to proper tracks !

That’s covered quite a spectrum of Porsche offerings, from a diesel Macan to a 911 Turbo S! :)

I actually ran the DS & TTS at the same time & only sold the DS a couple of months before the GTS arrived! The TTS came to a very sad ending and currently still looking for a replacement but they won’t sell me what I want 😁 even though they know I’m a keeper not a flipper 🤪

“I’m a keeper, not a flipper” - could have the basis of a song there. 🎶 Give Ed Sheeran a call... 🎸 ;)

My pension fund's seriously tempted, can't be a worse investment than shares although i'd be tempted to put on some miles.

Best looking Bogster to date imo.
