Reading about all the new 911's being delivered and driven (with great restraint below 4250 revs!) reminds me that I have been waiting over 5 years for my 996!!!!
I moved to Hong Kong in 1995 with my job expecting to be away for 2 to 3 years. On a home leave visit in April 98 I put down a deposit on a new 996 as I was told I would be in Hong Kong for another year or two. This would mean that the car would be delivered just when I returned, perfect. In Jan 2001, I switched the deposit to a Turbo to compensate for the fact that I was going to have to stay for another year or two away from home. A few months later I was told by my Porsche dealer that all build slots for Turbos were allocated and I was too far down the list to ever get one (at least for the current model). I switched the deposit to the upcoming C4S for delivery in January 2003. I then had to delay this date by 6 months (my choice) until July 2003. This date will not change!!!!!!!!!!!!
So all you cheshire cats out there in your awesome motors, spare a thought for those of us still waiting and wanting and wanting.....envy...envy...envy.
