Re: Car for a new driver
I have fond memories of being 17 and having a Hillman Imp. Ask your dads.

Re: Car Hire Lottery
I got offered only PDK Porsches when I had my car serviced at the suppling dealers and I said I didn't do non GT cars on religious grounds. They were a little surprised and apologetically asked if a Cooper S would be acceptable for the day. It was fine. Opportunity missed there! 😁 You could be righ...

Re: EV Thread
Saloons and estates, I’ve a mental barrier of 2 tons. SUVs shouldn’t be over 2.3 tons. Hatches under 1.5 tons. Super minis 1.2 tons. When cars are above those figures I just think badly designed lard boxes. Dave! I always describe my car as a sensible 3-door hatchback. Just checked and its DIN weig...

Re: Cayman/Boxter RIP.
Wow! Really? Are the UK rules stricter than EU, or are they just giving up everywhere? Blimey that's a shame! :( Seems to be EU-wide according to this article . Don't worry @PaulJ - they promise an EV successor as soon as 2025 :( Afraid I still consider all electric vehicles to be appliances, and n...

Cayman/Boxter RIP.
I just heard that the Porsche Cayman and Boxster models have been withdrawn from sale in the UK due to them not meeting the latest standards of cyber security. :roll: Apparently it would cost to much to upgrade them for the two years before the electric replacement appears. Having had 3 Boxsters and...

Re: Up GTi door seal leak.
As feared our door seal leak has been fixed using the expensive method, and we pick up an orange new/pre-registered Abarth 595 Turismo on Friday. We got £9300 trade-in which I suppose is good for a 5 and a half year old car that cost about £16k new. Sad times, but still a reasonable price....didn't...

Re: OV9 Political Party
Road tax based on height and weight of vehicle. Using my car as an example, I would pay none, all SUV/crossover's tax would double and Caterham owners would receive a £200 grant towards costs for cheering up the road-scape.

Re: Up GTi door seal leak.
we pick up an orange new/pre-registered Abarth 595 Turismo on Friday. How are you finding the Abarth? 404 - Marty McFly errorz :? This is kind of the 2024 version of replacing a car 'cos the ashtrays are full. Hope she enjoys it 8-) You've just made me think Mik. I don't recall if the Up even has a...

Re: Your fleet running reports
My partner Alison's Up GTi, (five and a half years old, owned from new and never bent or abused) has started to leak rain water in around the door seal onto the drivers seat. Bit disappointing for a VW. Anyone else had a similar problem?

Re: Jack envy
No jacks/spare wheels have come with Porsches for years, and our UP GTI doesn't have one either.
It's a bit surprising that Porsche don't offer one as an optional extra, and a more expensive lightweight one in titanium for Euro-millions winners.
