Porsche 718 GT4 / PDK / Ruby Star Neo
Discussion
Yesterday was a good day.
My partner and I picked up our first Porsche, after much deliberation and searching. Mainly for the colour and the specification as the market seems to be all over the place recently. We came across this GT4 in PTS Ruby Star, Buckets, PASM, Sports exhaust, Bose and so much more we're yet to find.
We still have our BMW M2 Comp, see here for the thread on this car. This is still very my partner's daily car as it just so capable.
As we've only owned the car a matter of days we have so much to learn about the car. We've already booked it in with Porsche Towcester in June to extend the warranty for another 2 years. The only changes we plan on making so far is a recent private plate purchase and to colour code the car key blades.
If anyone knows of any events or road trips coming up, any excuse to get the car out at the weekends. Here's some pictures for now from yesterday's collection and last night, I'll try and grab some more this weekend if I remember.

Lovely car! I was very tempted by a GT4 a month or so ago but questioned the sanity of another 2 seater with a young child.
Also considered an M2C as well, funnily enough, but for now I've been encumbered by analysis paralysis.
Are you local to Towcester? Probably won't miss that driving around

Update
Not much has changed since we took ownership around a month ago now. Plenty of usage as you'd expect with the recent good weather.
We're currently in the process of refurbishing a garage space which the car will remain 90% of the time. I've started to document and obtain pictures of the garage process which I'll share when it's completed.
We've managed to take the car to several smaller events; Podium Place - Porsche GB Coffee Morning, Caffeine & Machine - Celebration of Colour and a couple of other smaller events. I'd like to attend Porsche in the Park in July and perhaps one or two other local events. We do have a European road trip planned in June, which will end up in Lake Como. Naturally I'll document our adventure.
In terms of purchases for the car, a new indoor car cover in preparation for the garage. We also asked Porsche to colour match the key fob which they kindly obliged, small details make all the difference. Lastly my partners number plate has arrived, although the front plate isn't quite right so we've ordered another vinyl one. Considering a OPF removal in the near future, just need to read up on this process a little more. Any feedback or advise is most welcome.
