Continuing my retrospective look into my journey towards Porsche ownership.

Upbeatness (June 28, 2022 - 9 months ago)

"A package of compactness, desirability, usability, performance and driver appeal that makes it one of the all-time great mid-engined sports cars."

There's been a bit of chatter in the forums lately about Porsche adding some more production to the 718 line. Specifically they are adding overflow production to the VW site in Osnabrück to help cope with the increased demand for 718 models.

It's unclear just how much capacity they are planning, or how it will directly affect us, but it's definitely a tick in the right direction. Perhaps a flood of allocations will ensue :-)

Any crumb of good news is welcome, as we have pretty much hit the one-year mark since placing our orders, and the two-year point since first thinking about this idea at all. It's all too easy to get down about it, but perspective is everything. If I add the production increase news, to the fact that no-one has received any allocations here in Canada for the past 8+ months, to the official letter we got from Porsche, it puts me in a positive frame of mind that this will all eventually come good.
