928 booked in for its final MOT in a couple of weeks. Got some time off next week to go through a few jobs :

Pull the centre console and replace the diaphragm in the comb flap actuator.
Replace the blower motor (requires me removing the bonnet)
Replace the engine bay fuel hoses (3 of)
Replace the ...

I've only got one more MOT left on the 928 which is next month, after that it's exempt.

This is not the 80 year old that starred in Home Alone 2 that we wanted the Grim Reaper to take.

RIP.

Lewis was desperately unlucky with the timing of that VSC. He was lining Russell up and just as he was about to overtake, the VSC was triggered.

968 update

The choice of premium tyres in 255/40/R17 is getting a little slimmer now. Goodyear still sell the F1 Asymmetric 2 in that size, so I went with one of them to match the other rear. Made in Germany last year. I might replace the one the other side over the winter, as it's very old now ...

Nice. Had the Evora regassed last year, but it stopped blowing cold a couple of months back. Got my mobile guy to pop back out, and he spotted it has a tiny leak in the corner of the condenser - will get it replaced at the next service as I think it's a front-clam-off job. It's still blowing cold ...

The 928 has working A/C!!! I initially thought it had been converted to R134a due to the coloured covers someone had put on the charge ports. Turns out it hadn't. Managed to find a complete R134a conversion kit from a company in the US for £130 (way cheaper than the £245 Porsche one that didn't ...

I know the colours won’t be to everyone’s taste but picked these up at my local Puma outlet

Even if I didn’t like them I’d have picked them up anyway, they cost the huge sum of £20


I have to admit although I don't normally like bright coloured trainers, I quite like those. I'd ...

He's cooked either way. If he wins the election, he's only managed to beat a comedy candidate AND he's back open to investigation which will likely lead to him getting canned. If he loses (admittedly an unlikely scenario), he's lost to a bin and he's effectively finished as a politician, although he ...

I had hand-me-downs. A Boxer and a Strika. By the time I was big enough the Grifter wasn’t a thing anymore.

I remember being allowed a brand new Raleigh Burner for Christmas but couldn’t find the one I wanted (gold with black mags and pads etc) so ended up with green one.

I also vaguely remember ...

I've read a report that says Farage was advised that the investigation into his £5m undeclared loan/security fund/bung would not be restarted should he be re-elected and it turns out that this isn't the case. :lol: I mean, on one hand I can't believe they got it so spectacularly wrong, but on the ...

Harry's realised what an awesome car the 928 is.

Every so often, I've noticed the ABS light popping on after a minute or so of driving the 928. I suspect the wiring harnesses are getting a bit crusty as a lot of the sheathing has started to disintegrate. I'll strip them all off, inspect them, fix any issues I find and then re-wrap them. I also ...

Sorry to hear the, Si. I'm sure you've given Sausage the best life possible.

Also, Colin is probably the ultimate name for a Daschund (for those of use of a certain age anyway!).

My deLonghi Magnifica S is still giving sterling service after maybe 5 years of daily use. Prior to that I had an Aeropress but the Magnifica makes a far better tasting coffee. It's less than £250 now too. Clicky

From the talk about it on the 968uk forum, it might be that A/C was rarely specified option on the 968 irrespective of being a CS or Sport. Maybe if people were buying them back in the 90s in the Mediterranean it would be a more common option. 968s were obviously a bit poverty spec compared to the ...

That's amazing! Well done!

RIP you mad old bat.

968 - a fellow 968 owner who I've known for years happens to have a spare bitsa exhaust, so hopefully we can fit it this Sunday. Feels like it's taken too long to get it sorted, but then I doubt I'd be driving it much during these heatwaves.


ClubSport was an A/C delete wasn't it? The recent ...

I tried getting a UDR7 and they were permanently out of stock. Ended up using an Amplifi router directly connected to my ONT and a couple of mesh points covering the back of the house and upstairs. For the first time since I've been in this house, I've got perfect Wifi coverage with zero issues and ...
