Well, I am sure you all know about the explosion in the Porsche Factory by now, halting production of the 911's (see link in 997Turbo thread if you haven't). Anyway, turns out my 997TT WAS IN THE PAINT FACTORY during the explosion - it was supposed to have gone to final assembly today. The factory is still closed while police inspect and they get the several feet of water from the sprinkler systems out of the building. Doesn't that just suck - what bad timing! Oh well, just a longer wait I guess - hopefully no damage to the vehicles (2 men were injured but have been released from the hospital). If anyone hears any news on this, I would love to get more details on the current status in Stuttgart.

 

I blame it on the ///M Program at BMW. You know they sabotaged the Porsches to boost sales of the new ///M3. How convenient, just a week before their official launch.

=)

 

that sucks by the way. I'd go crazy.

 

I sure hope there are no problems with the paint quality and final assembly/inspectionof your car due to this!

 

Hopefully because of it they will inspect everything extra well. I am an eternal optimist.

 

Just another bs excuse so they can charge more and make you wait longer.

 

I think the explosion was caused by willcox's motor

 

Ouch man, that's harsh.

Greta, just think. The extra heat from the explosion made sure the paint cured.

 

i'm sorry, greta. i know how excited you are to get your pcar and join us on our social events/drives. i hope all is okay with your car. at least you'll have your new "baby" for the summer! you'll have the best months to enjoy her and the wait will be worth it once you lay eyes on it for the very first time!

GL and i'll cross my fingers for you!

 

ouch, that sucks...

well, be patient...
