Where's the PSE?
 
A quarter of a million dollars :eek:
 
Expresso very dark, but is still perhaps a little brave, but then anyting other than black or dark grey (black) is considered oddball in the UK.


Some ideas:
Deletion of model designation (leaves PORSCHE)
Rear wiper
PASM Sports Suspension (20mm lower)
Cruise Control
Seat heating
Floor mats
 
OP, not bad but what about PDCC?

My options so far.

Platinum Silver
Park assist
Rain sensor
PSE
PDCC
PDK
Sports chrono
Carrera Classic wheels
TPM
Floor mats
Sports design steering wheel
 
When I was searching for my ideal partner I considered getting a 997.1 turbo in Germany. They have some very strange tastes over here and while I applaud them leading the crusade for painted wheels and some ok looking matt plastic films (911? yes, 12 year old opel astra? no), I nearly chundered into my keyboard when I stumbled across a snot green car with chocolate brown leather interior and wood effect trim!! I should have saved a picture but I was having trouble keeping my stomach inside my ribcage...
 
How very unconventional.

No, not the snot green and chocolate brown car, but your anatomy.

I try to keep my stomach in my abdomen, below my diaphram.

If it gets to your rib-cage, it's gone too far.
 
It was a close run thing! I've also had too many sunday mornings where it's somewhere in the pelvic region bidding to escape that way too! TMI, I'll get my coat...
 
I'm guessing he didn't go for heated seats cos he's in Hong Kong.... and I don't see them as a 'Must have', I'm lucky enough to have a wife whose @rse is about as wide as the turbos overall width so I send her out to the garage about 10 minutes before I plan on leaving and by then she's warmed the seat up nicely........bless her :wack:
 
How about ventilated (air-conditioned) seats? (I didn't spec them as I live in the UK)
 
Back on topic and GT4 just beat me to the punch, I would definitely recommend opting for ventilated seats (am I going off topic again?). Mine doesn't have them but at my experience day at silverstone their car did and it made for a much more comfortable drive in the sweltering heat, so I regret not ticking that box.

I was fortunate to spend a couple of days in HK many years ago and the humidity was so high that I was sweating like a pregnant nun / glassblower's a**e within a few feet of leaving the hotel so I'd imagine vented seats are an absolute must over there!!
