    What's the furthest you've been in an EV?

    ~1000 miles each way to Czech and back. Done the trip 2x in a Model 3 LR and 2x in a Model Y LR having also done it 5 times in a BMW 535d GT. Arrival times are pretty much the same regardless of the fuel type as traffic on route has a much bigger affect on the journey time...

    Cruise is an easy retrofit, about £500 at a main dealer if it wasn't fitted at build.

    Had quite a few of them too but this was later on in the day, had just rained so was rather slippery. https://youtu.be/ohCeL7hiRZs?si=-qeW8-dRWGOdmxzd&t=83

    I got a bit confused with the colour coding of the circuit at North Weald, apparently Green = Bad :confused:

    Thanks, I'd seen that, not keen on spending £500 on a temporary fix and would rather wait. Not sure how true but I'd read somewhere that Porsche are legally required to supply spare parts for cars up to 10 years old so a couple of people were looking at the legal route to force the issue. On...

    Thanks, I got lucky as I was looking at the cheapest S cars on the market and after talking to few people/dealers about cars with hardly any options I found one that had the essential Sports steering wheel, a few that I liked (Sports Chrono and 14 way seats) and was only missing cruise and...

    Driving up to Scotland to meet some friends in the pub tomorrow and went via some twisty bits. Topless the whole way, had the roof down too!

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    I would suggest also driving a 991.1 GTS, I drove both .1 & .2 and whilst I really liked the extra torque of the .2 (and the steering wheel), ultimately I preferred the NA engine of the .1 Very much a personal choice, with neither being wrong but worth testing both. Oh and rwd definitely...

    Out of interest, why stick on with Velcro rather than normal sticky pads ?

    I’m feeling like a complete moron right now so please feel free to have a chortle. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/clay-mitt-blue-fine-grade I’ve got one of these that I plan to use tomorrow, I’ve read the instructions 3 times and I still can’t work out if I’m supposed to use the black side or...

    Suggestions on convertible roof cleaner and protection would be appreciated as would something to treat / back-to-black / freshen up window rubber seals.

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    I don't think I'd posted on here but after Le Mans I'd decided to sell my 991.1 GTS as we have a remortgage coming up in December and it was just too much money to have sat in a car when it could be used to keep our repayments the same. Car went off mid July to a specialist on SoR and sold last...

    I really should stop buying black cars!!! I was missing my 911 too much so kept some money back from mortgage overpayment for an early 981 Coxster S. I may even be allowed to drive it occasionally.

    GT86/GR86/BRZ

    I've added myself to the new 5th July waitlist for the GR and will see what happens. Also considering an early GT86 if the GR doesn't happen. 911 needs to go to pay off a chunk of mortgage but don't want to be left without something fun. An early GT86 seems to make a lot of sense, more than a...

    Did you keep your sports car after having kids?

    There's something gloriously fun about doing the nursery run in something that isn't a SUV. In the last two years mini-me has been chauffeured in a GR Yaris (rear facing on passenger seat with seatbelt), V8 Vantage (rear facing on passenger seat with seatbelt) & 911 (front facing in back with...
