PDE Advise Please!

Hi all,

I’ve just put the deposit down on a CS (Not ready until June, how can I wait? ), and (very swiftly) I have received the invitation to the PDE.

Two venues offered – Millbrook and a place in Warwickshire (can’t remember the name).

I could travel to either – which do you think is best?

Thanks!

Probably there is a difference in dates, with Millbrook being earlier. When I went up to Millbrook last month (and Trashed their TipTronic Cayman......) the instructor advised that they were getting a Porsche only Porsche GB test area a little further north - He said it would not be as good / varied terrain and much smaller.......... I would go for Millbrook, But I dare not show my face there again!

I went to Millbrook and it was great fun; buzzed around the oval at 130; had fun on the 1 mile straight and loved the alpine circuit despite being quite rubbish at it.

Dealer rang me to say final confirmation letter of spec in post, mine is due some time in June as well, was wondering about the PDE.

I know what you mean about how do we pass the time till then, for the moment I am squeezing every day as a top down day in my S2000 and until its sold to help cover the Cayman S cost.

John H - thanks - interested to hear how you get on Long trip down for you!

Starlight - sounds like ours will be built around the same time, let's hope that they are having a good month! I guess that I will embarass myself for the next few months by hanging around a couple of dealers and obsessing on this site.

Karel, read about your experiences at Millbrook - sounds like you had a lucky escape.

Not really a long trip, 45 min drive to Edinburgh airport, and then let the man from Squeezy Jet do the rest to Luton

Nice Blog…………..but you’ve confused me a little.
When you go into your Left Foot Braking……………..I can’t do it, in my car (fly by wire throttle and all that) it just wont allow it !!

I've had similar issues with left foot braking when trying to balance the car on the brakes will still giving a little throttle, justs cuts out - like the PSM doesn't like it. Only dabbled in mine but maybe I need to try with Sport engaged and/or PSM off? But on the road I guess I don't need to really do it??

Nice write up - I never got around to doing my PDE within the allocated year.

Call me stupid, but your tag says "Cayman S Delivered July 06"????

Doesn't that leave you another few months to squeeze it in?

I thought it went off your date of order or the date of invitation for the PDE, if not then you're right and I might get it done?
