Car Collection trip - starts today!
Discussion
I am collecting a toy on Thursday/Friday but my journey to get it has already started. It’s in the UK but the other end of the country.
I am quite excited about it and let’s just say it has a decent engine and it’s manual, I know you guys like a collection thread
I am currently on the train to the airport to go to a conference in Berlin tonight. By sheer coincidence I can’t fly direct so am going via the city the car is in (flights booked weeks before I found the car) so will test drive it first today whilst I have time before my connecting flight. I can’t take it today as a plate change is going through.
I am then in Berlin until Wednesday then have to fly into the midlands for a meeting Thursday then will catch the long train (no easy flights to get there) up north to hopefully collect Thursday evening.
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, wasn’t a great start as almost missed my first train, Trainline wanted £9 for the ticket but as the train departed before I could buy it I have been fleeced for £22 for the same journey as had to buy a ticket on board. Already £13 wasted

4 taxis, 3 trains and 2 Flights today and it’s only
Monday.

It s a Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 manual, no point in guessing as a link was posted on here (no problem so might as well say now people would have seen it). I have been searching for one for a while with the right spec to include the GTS interior pack with crayon stitching.
Now on the plane for flight one of the day.

Intrigued to hear your thoughts after the test drive. Keep us posted, in for the journey!
I have driven both manual and pdk of this car and find the manual so much more engaging, real grin factor on driving and the auto blip on these is excellent. I decided against a GT4 as I won’t track it but haven’t had a manual for years, last one was a 911.
Just rubber stamping the deal really as my flight came this route and the seller is more than happy to oblige. It’s a private off market sale and the car has already been looked at by an OPC a few days ago.
