(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination).

Kill-switch?
Will it drift - 480 reasons to say YES
The PDK is a step on from the normal Porsche system also. Even in full auto its properly aggressive if you want it to be, and as for it revving to 9000 rpm - its race car like from 7k!
Not sure I'd have chosen white either, but its in keeping with the previous one.
Should do for a while, now the vehicles number has dropped significantly.
Campbell, I could do with some customer appreciating the efforts on the entrepreneurialism - bloody tough work at the moment - and some silly hours.

That invaluable passenger-operated control that kills the power and keeps it from spinning across wet grass towards telegraph poles!
Alternatively, don't let muppets drive it!

I sympathise though. Similar experience here recently, albeit customer satisfaction is more visible in my world!

Throw up some details on here / Facebook and we can spread the word or take up empty spaces ( at a discount

)
Peoples thoughts are also turning to what to get folk for Christmas so gift packages for next year might tempt some too.

Awesome! Did you get it after the engine replacement shenanigans?
Was the white 997 your previous car then? I've got a 996 GT3 with manthey conversion and that's a monster at around 420bhp so can only imagine what the 991's are like!!
Stunning car, enjoy!
