Thanks guys! Iv just spent over an hour guiding him through the outside of London to get North, as even with sat nav he still got lost!! It takes a special talent! Lol!
I'm hoping he'll come straight home but he may stay at his folks tonight, depending on how tired he is when he gets to Glasgow, but I will def tell him to avoid Braemar then! Thanks Iain! Oh, and I like that it should really be my car!
They just put a years MOT on it this morning too as it was about to run out in a week or two, so they took him out for breakfast while that was being done.
The difference in customer service between Guildford and Aberdeen has been night and day. Granted the manager in Aberdeen was very apologetic and said if he was in the showroom last week it wouldn't have happened, and he agrees that it was awful. He tried to make it better but there is nothing he can do now, the damage has been done. And he knows and understands that. It's quite funny though, cos this guy that bought the car thinks he's getting quite a rare car, and took it from under our feet, but little does he know that Alan had it for a morning which resulted in a few mm taken off the tyres, and we got one that looks exactly the same but 10k cheaper and Alan will drive past the Porsche garage in Aberdeen every day with it! Karma!!
So, avoid Aberdeen Porsche, but Guildford, as far away as it is, is recommended.
Yeah, the centrelocks. Hmm. Not sure what we are going to do about that yet! We do know though that we'll probably take it to Edinburgh to have the tyres changed and car serviced (while it's still in warranty).
It's really the perfect 997 911, I worried a GT3 would be a bit too extreme for everyday driving, so this is the best compromise. Also, it would have taken us a few extra months before buying a GT3 as they are quite a bit dearer, and the Vectra MOT runs out next week, so good timing!
