Hi,
Was just curious what OPCs hand out for courtesy vehicles nowadays. Would hoping for a 991 if handing in a 997 for work be a bit off the mark or is it kias haha? What have you guys been given?
I got a very nice but very dull euro box. I didn't even have a clue wha make it was. As I was staying overnight I booked into a local hotel, when I asked where I was to park the first thing the girl on reception asked for was the reg no. I have no idea was the reply, not a problem she said, what make is your vehicle, that will do. No idea I informed her. Was just curious what OPCs hand out for courtesy vehicles nowadays.

At this point I think she thought me a little weird.
OPC had gone round the car(whatever it was) pointing out the only fault they could find (the slightest blemish on one alloy). I couldn't stop thinking about that damn blemish, I mean usually a rental has a ding or two already when you pick it up.
A couple of hours later whilst sliding backwards down a 1 in 4 hill in black ice with brakes locked and a sheer drop to the near side, all I could think of was how the hell was this going to end, and with just a blemish to an alloy.

Only yesterday I was given a demo 991 C4S by Porsche Edinburgh when I put my 996 Turbo S in for a major service. They gave me it for the 2 days that they required to do the work. I can't that the service guy enough, phoned him last week inquiring if they could fit the work in, and he informed the work was possible, but no courtesy car available. 1 Hour later phoned me back telling me he had asked the sales team if they had anything available and they offered the C4S. Top man!!
I Can't recommend them enough!! Service prices now reduced to £749 for major including spark plus, and £100 for brake fluid change.
Restored the faith for me!

Sounds like luck of the draw there, not bad. Think it would be the case of- keep the turbo for another week at the centre to check for battery drain lolI Can't recommend them enough!! Service prices now reduced to £749 for major including spark plus, and £100 for brake fluid change.

It was much more refined and really streets ahead in terms of comfort and finesse, but I missed the torque/thrust of the Turbo. I have never driven a non turbo 911 before so I found it took a lot of RPM to make it perform but sounded really good when in sport mode and giving it plenty!
To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed for what is a 95K car! To make a fair comparison, I will try and get a new 991 Turbo out next time I go to them!!
