Finally after weather delays it has arrived!"!!
(didn't want the car on the cross channel ferry over the last couple of weeks and certainly not going far in the next week or so!!)
Wonderful car, love it already, cannot wait to get in to Europe and then on a couple of tracks. Change from my usual colour but must say that despite my initial doubts it looks good.
(Sapphire Blue) Picked it up during the recent weather window but back in garage for now.
Bit of a learning curve programming the bits and pieces but now set up to take to France weather permitting as I like to run in my cars quickly and under varying conditions not possible here.
Several minor niggles but most solved although disappointed that I ordered carpets and this time only fitted in the front whereas my 997 Turbo had rear carpets as well.
Also no slots for CD's in glove box now.
Too soon to comment overall but auto stop/start over here is a pain and must hammer the battery and starter motor so disabled immediately.
Electric park brake seemed a bit of a joke at first but you can put it on in traffic and it goes off immediately you put your foot on accelerator.
Pain not having the multi function steering wheel and Paddles get in the way of the other stalks. In retrospect I think that I should have had the multi wheel where at least with the buttons you can change up or down on either side of the wheel.
Changes seem to quicker that my Turbo Tiptronic. On changing down for a corner the car seems to momentarily accelerate which caught me out on my favourite slow bend. I have not heard it but my passenger said that he though the throttle was
blipped and if so I may have to change my style of driving.
Sat Nav Post code doesn't work properly, it took me to the correct road but wouldn't accept 47 which is where I live and stated the range available was I to 41. This estate was built in the early 60's and highest number is 61.
Wonderful car
I will give some more comments when I have had a decent run.
Seems I cannot upload any pics as they are too large, perhaps someone can help.
Cheers
