I did a video looking at the LED headlights and LED clear markers for the 991.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to when the car is broken in to hear the exhaust at the higher rev ranges, but what I'm hearing from the PSE is perfect for me.

Great video! Agree on the quality of the 7MT clutch and gearbox and the PSE exhaust note. As you are probably expecting, things just continue to get better and sound better (and go faster) in the higher rev ranges. I find that the car literally kicks you in the pants at about 4-4.5k RPM and keeps pulling with authority up to the redline.

3000 km can't come fast enough. I can't imagine the smile on my face getting much bigger, but I'm not going to complain when I'm nothing but a giant grin after break in.

I spent my Sunday participating in an event called the Pedigree 4.0 Gran Rally Tourismo. It was put on by Club Trofeo, a private automotive club. I was invited as a guest of the Porsche Centre Vancouver, which was a nice treat.

Here's how the event worked. We were to meet at a starting location. For this event, it was the Ikea located in Coquitlam, B.C. We are given a radio for the car, and a directions sheet. We zero our odometer and have to follow the instructions as we get to specific mileage; answering trivia questions, taking turns, etc. Ultimately we have to check into different locations throughout the day, while driving on some really good local roads.

My car only had 518 km at the start of the day. Well short of the 3000 recommended for break in. The plan was still to take it easy and go for a cruise. That plan didn't last very long.

Here's some photos of the event my co-pilot took:



















I have a video uploading and will share that shortly.

You pick the best color from the colors available on the 50th edition. Plus it's nice to see people opting for the 7MT. The PDKs are nice but nothing beats the engagement of a manual transmission. Enjoy. Next time you do a video show us that smile that comes with passing the breakin period.

Thanks. The video just finished uploading and is being processed. I tried to keep it as short as I could.

Thanks. I'm really enjoying the colour. There's some smiling in the next video. Break-in plans were thrown out. I was redlining it at only 518 km.

This is a video I made after participating in the Pedigree 4.0 Gran Rally Tourismo on the weekend.

I apologize for the length of the video. It's about 22 minutes. I tried to condense a days worth of fun as much as I could. Also, apologies for the video quality. I didn't realize that my GoPros were on wide angle, so the footage isn't as great as I was expecting.

I hope you enjoy.

Richard
