Just got a quote on my new Mercedes
EQC
I was disappointed as it is only £100 cheaper than my Taycan GTS was last year.
I got rid of the Taycan today but decided to see what it would have cost me….
Same comparison website, all the same conditions. The Taycan is worth half what it was a year...
£300 or nearest offer.
THEY ONLY FIT YOUR SALOON TAYCAN IF YOU HAVE THE GLASS ROOF
I am in Bolton near Manchester. If you come and pick them up I will fit them for you, make you a cup of tea and let you use my home charger!
If you live not too far away and somewhere interesting I might even...
Just arranged pick up.
Handing back to Porsche GB finance company.
I am not trying to depress anyone (particularly in UK).
Just the facts. We are all aware.
It’s been fun. Especially the 1st Taycan which I sold for a profit.
Forum has been fun too.
Thanks everybody.
The second Taycan has been...
I ordered a Macan 4 as it was much better value than the Taycan l - (closest comparison, a CT4 Taycan)
The Taycan ll makes the Mac4 look even better value.
I do love the new leather free trim in the T2 with retro fabric but it is still a £1,121 upgrade
and leather free is free in the Mac4 (I am...

My tyre pressure plate says 2.6 front 2.7 rear at 20C (68F)
We all know to check tyre pressures when 'cold' but at
the moment I get in my car in the morning and the temperature is 10C, not 20C.
My tyre pressures read 2.4 and 2.5 then go to 2.5 and 2.6 within a mile,
then to the correct 2.6 and...
Just found some old photos.
In 2007 before kids I had more time and money and was doing track days in a Boxster. I thought Lotus Exige. More track focused.
I went to Dick Lovett in Swindon. The salesman said I will drive first then you take over.
Light rain. Greasy road (the other side of the...
I had to drive on Friday afternoon from Bolton to Witney in Oxfordshire. As any Brit Friday pm M6 warrior knows this is a grim journey especially in holiday season. Hypermiling was effectively enforced by heavy traffic.
So instead of booting it on the very few occasions I could I just cruised...
Quick Question.
Did a FoD this am to get data package to keep kids happy on long Easter drive.
Done the old off and on thing.
My Porsche says I have it.
Payment has been taken.
I have successfully ‘FoDed’ Innodrive and ALK previously.
No Hot Spot or WiFi showing on car.
Anyone done this...
As you might know I don’t like Sports Chrono. Not as much as I don’t like Sports Sound…. But nearly.
Why do I have it? It’s free, or at least included, on my nice new ish GTS. The functionality improvement, to me, is limited. The only reason people got this on other models was to get launch...
My near side front tire has blistered on the side wall while not damaging the rim at all. There was just some traces of blue paint on the rim next to the blister?!
No idea how it happened.
It’s a Pirelli NFO 21’ tyre
The car has done 7000 miles and there is 5-6mm tread on off side front.
Do...
It is obvious after watching hours of you tube videos and reading articles that All Season tyres are a much better winter option than winter tyres for the north of England where there is snow on the ground only 1 or 2 days a year.
However I need a tyre with the 3 mountain peak snowflake symbol...
Found these photos in the garage.
In 2007 I was looking for a 2 seat track toy before kids!
went for a test drive in a Lotus Exig
Dick Lovett Swindon.
I was feeling patriotic.
Before you ask…
The salesman was driving!
5 mins away from dealer.
Light rain, greasy road.
He lost the back end...
I have noticed Etron threads, there have been quite a lot, as my other car is an Etron 50(base ‘Technik’)
There seem to be quite a few
‘My other car is an Etron’ people!
Seems Etron owners get better advice here than the Etron forum.
Love the car. Totally not stressed about 160 mile range...
Had a good test drive in a GTS saloon yesterday. Thank you Porsche Bolton
Nice car - Gentian, a little subdued for me but v tasteful spec.
Proper GTS body kit with letters on side skirts and the only chintz inside ambient lighting.
Beautiful base GTS Race Tex trim.
I find the GTS crayon and red...
