Genetian for @Johnsyn

Thanks Stuart! @Stuart21UK I have to say I think the car looks stunning! Counting down the days but have got a bit worried as a number of people who ordered caysters with the 4.0 engine have had their order cancelled and offered a built slot in July/August for delivery in September or later. The cause of this is both the requirement to change circa 1000 engines worldwide on 4.0 cars, and the shortage of computer chips. I've been in touch with the OPC who have said my car is still shown as being built, now on 1 June, and they as they have already had one cancellation, for a 25 Anniversary Boxster so they think mine should be ok. First World problems eh!

I haven’t seen the 718 Spyder in the wild but I saw a black 718 GT4 and what a mean looking it was! The front and rear bumpers are epic on these cars, I don’t think John will be disappointed 😎

Yes they do look rather mean don't they!

Just seen a blue GT4 in the wild, he was behind me down this country lane until I let him passed😉😂

No he flew past as soon as there was some room! It looked stunning but surprised me how tame the exhaust note was as he went passed. I was doing 70 with the roof down when he came passed and expected some epic howl as it came passed but no?

Maybe he hadn’t got the exhaust turned on, my new car has only got the standard exhaust so the noise wasn’t blocked by mine. I will be booking mine in ASAP for the PSE, drives beautifully just needs to be a bit more vocal 😎

Do you know any more about the issue requiring 1000 engines being changed on 4.0 cars?

That is rather nice, would have really set it off if it had the Yellow PCCB callipers

100%, although I’m not totally sure about carbon ceramics unless you are tracking it all the time.

The car does look great in that colour doesn't it! My GT4 is now to be built a little later but hopefully I should be in it by early July! Cannot wait!

I prefer, for this colour, the optional black callipers. But does look good Gary!

red interior mis-matches IMHO, would be better in gray or yellow stiching
