    Something a bit more 911…

    I’ve been hankering after a 911 for years and I thought now seemed a decent time to invest A base 911 997 Carrera 2 with PASM. A few nice little bits like Bose but nothing too fancy. Manual of course. Only 47k on the clock and really tidy. It’s gonna go in a managed garage shortly, but I’ve a...

    First real issue - rear boot lid won’t open

    So Christmas Day. Car all charged up for several trips around mine and my wife’s folks. Went to pack the car and boot doesn’t open. Many tries, many different ways. The boot also isn’t flush with the rear body work. Nothing caught in the latch that I can see inside Ugh. I’ve tried some...

    Solar and home charging (UK)

    Hi All I have a PodPoint Solo installed at my house and I also have a Solar PV installation with 10 kW of batteries. It's a 3kW inverter but I have around 6.5 kW of power that can come in via the panels. I also have an Octopus EV tariff - 40p (ish) per kW in the day and 9p between 00:30 and...

    Very squeaky physical brakes

    I get the usual motor whine on deceleration, but once the actual brakes get used then they are very very squeaky. Either before I've gone a mile or at very low speeds when you can tell the actual discs are biting. It's really quite loud. I may get a passenger to post a video/sound if I can I...

    Alloy Wheel rim protectors?

    My local (and very trusted/professional), wheel refurbishment/wheel vendor/tyre place have Wheeluv rim protectors and are recommending their use (in a very non-pushy way). With our terrible roads in the UK, I’m very tempted. Price is decent, that’s not the issue Opinions?

    Sport Turismo - parcel shelf query

    I've been absolutely loving my TT ST since picking it up, what a superb comfortable, beautiful and capable car. One of my few minor gripes with the car and one that is almost laughably bad, is the parcel shelf supplied. It obstructs lots of the boot, is massively over-complicated and is a...

    Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo arrives in the cold and dark!

    After a January ‘22 order and being built without a 12v battery, my slightly low-key Turbo ST build has got to me. It’s a cliche, but it genuinely looks so much better in real life than when you stare at the pictures in the Configurator for months on end, as well as clicking through pictures of...

    Tesla Model Y drive thoughts and mini-review

    I rented a Model Y last weekend because my wife took our XC90 on a trip and whilst fun, the 'temporary' Up GTI I have was not going to cut it for the trips I wanted to do with the kids etc. Plus I thought it would be interesting to try out a Tesla. The Model Y is the right size in terms of...

    South of UK - Winter wheels thoughts

    Hi All. I'm prepping for delivery of my car in *some time period* soonish. One thing I've umm'd and ahh'd about is getting a set of Winter Wheels and tyres.

    Porsche Driving Experience @ Silverstone, UK - quick review

    I thought I'd post a very brief review of my experience going on the experience ;) I'm a track day 'virgin', albeit I've been trying to get on one for a couple of years but have been foiled by COVID. When I saw I'd have the opportunity to go to this, I was excited and I'll be honest: very...

    I've just had an email from my dealer, who has said: "We have just received an update from Porsche AG that due to a fire at one the battery suppliers all Taycan’s have been delayed by 8 weeks." Ouch Anyone else heard this?

    Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo Spec

    Hi All. I've been reading on here since pre-ordering a Taycan in the UK (January). Thought I'd post my spec and thoughts and ask what people thought. http://www.porsche-code.com/PNSIMQA2 I've gone for a Turbo over a 4S because I'd been told lead time was less for a Turbo and once I'd specified...
