Frank,
I met you at the last N.GA. Mountain run, and you didn't have flip flops on!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'd say "put me out Doc"...

 

Yes it is. And so is the Service Manager's approach to warranty work.

 

I've bought 3 Porches from Jim Ellis and never understood why they would put you in a POS loaner in the first place. Most people who drive Porsches have serious expectations of the cars they drive. Now that my 2004 Cayenne TT and 911 TT are both up for service checks (~15K mi each) I will definitely go to Hennessy.

Thanks guys

 

Well today is day 5 of my "ordeal" with Hennessy. I took the car in on Monday with losinf clutch fluid. They didn't look at it untill Wednesday. They replaced the Slave and gave me the car back (apparently without a test drive). I took the car home and noticed a big increase in clutch pressure. I took it back on Thurseday and was told the clutch accumulator was bad too. They had not noticed it initially. They said that there was non to be found anywhere untill Monday. This would be OK, but for the fact that I have a PCA DE track event this weekend. This is a must attend for me I haven't missed a PCA DE since I bought my TT.
To their credit, Joe Lynch is doing his best to locate an accumulator today. This is just an unfortunate circumstance. I think that Hennessy, after all this is trying their best to correct it.
I have my fingers crossed today (while driving the POS Taurus they gave me). I do not want to miss a DE. I might have to take my Navigator on the track.

 

hhazrati hope to see you thier.Hope its warmer than today..Its bloody cold.

 

Did you have an appointment (for Monday) when you took the car in?

Did you specifically ask if they performed a test drive after they replaced the slave?

 

Neil, we will See You tomorrow.

Yes, Dock I made an appointment. No, Dock I didn't think to ask them if they had done a test drive, or if they had done their job and fixed what I had brought the car in for!
I am stupid, I just assumed that when they called and said the car is ready for pick-up, it had been fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Jeff and Joe came through today my car was fixed!
I will see every one at RoadAtlanta tomorrow.

Do any Atlanta boarders actually track their cars?

 

I probably will as soon as I put my JICs on.

 

No problem, I just thought you had taken your car in for a leak, not high clutch pressure. It sounds like they fixed the original problem when you took your car in the first time.

 

I don't track my Turbo.

 

Did you purchase the car from Hennessy? If not, you are furtunate to get a loaner of any make. I did not purchase either one of my P-cars from the local dealer and when I take them in for service, I do not get a loaner. Their courtesy van will take me back to my office, however.

 

Well, Hennessy came through, they found a accumulator in some warehouse, they sent someone to pick it up, the car was ready Friday afternoon at 5pm. Thanks to Jeff and Joe. They came through when it counted.
I just finished 2 days of DE at RoadAtlanta, what a BLAST. The first day was steady rain, there was 37+ spin-outs and 2-3 heavy contacts (with the walls). The TT, with its AWD shined. There wasn't a single car in my group that could keep up. I passed at least 2-3 cars on every lap.
Second day was 17F but sunny. The TT shined again. In two days of tracking I wasn't passed once! These cars are made for the track! To all of you who have never done it, go for it! There is nothing like coming out of turn 7 into the back strait and hitting 135-145mph in no time. Leaving every other track car in the dust.
I know it isn't real racing, but there is nothing better than starting at the very back of the group and reeling in car after car as you go through the pack.
With the HP, the suspension, and the AWD, you almost feel like you are cheating. It make you look good even with your very limited talent.
