Having said all that my OPC has very kindly invited me out to this fantastic event ( they are confident when I talk to the engineers I will be a believer btw ) so I thought it was rude to decline ( and I am really looking forward to the experience ) . I feel very privileged for the invite so if nothing else I will have a great time ( I hope ) and have my mind put to rest one way or the other . To boldly go and all that ...
logical. im sure it will be an enjoyable event regardless, i would be surprised if they turn you but as you said you already have the zenith of the analog world so why not check out what the digital frontier has on offer. considering we share philosophies on the matter i look forward to your report.

Look for a tall guy with glasses and thinning hair (me)
Time to shake up the dealer/PCNA about this... <frown> Got invited to the pre-Carrera GT event out in Leipzig, which also sold us on a Cayenne Turbo. The Carrera GT didn't need selling. The 918 though, another story. Would love to hear and experience the machine and wonder if it's really worth $845,000, nearly double the price of a CGT...

Tell them you are concerned the gas mileage may not be high enough because that's what you look for in a supercar...

Then ask them if the hybrid thing was something the Carrera GT owners were demanding, or if the hybrid thing is being pushed on Carrera GT owners.

I like how they have the event a few days after the speculated press day of the 991. They'll probably try to offer you a 918 Edition 991, you know to "hold you over".

Enjoy wtdoom!
