Then, a week or so later, the mailman drops off a fountain pen from Porsche Design with a note: "Thanks for your purchase of a new Macan." A couple of weeks later, a note of apology from PCNA because our car was held up in port for 3 weeks awaiting inspection for emissions (thanks, VW). This apology was accompanied by a certificate for a free driving experience at the Porsche Experience Center, along with lunch and a night in a swanky hotel. We're at the point now where my wife is bummed if a couple of weeks go by without a present from PCNA. These folks know how to win customer loyalty, let me tell ya...
I'd love to see a pic or two of your fountain pen. I am fountain pen collector and I make my own writing instruments as well on my lathe...

Don't blame them. I'm surprised they let Merc B do what they do publicly also. Good to see P's marketing active again that's for sure

I'd do anything for someone who knows how to make pen using a lathe - means you know how to use it lolll Not easy

There is the one given to me by the PCA Vancouver for buying many Macans! Carbon fiber sleeve, nice ink also.
