    EV Macan vs Taycan ll (UK)

    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...

    Tyre (Tire) pressure question

    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...

    Fun Photos! Why I bought a Porsche.

    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...

    300 miles. DONT say it can’t be done! (2022 Taycan GTS)

    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...

    Sports Chrono Simple Improvement

    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...

    All Season Tyres. Help please.

    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...

    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...
