Re: Car Hire Lottery
Seems like we've been lucky with Easter Holiday school timings this year and my son's school has later dates than most others. As a result everything seems to be priced lower in Portugal at the moment and I upgraded the hire car to "C class or equivalent". Rather surprisingly we actually g...

Re: Goodwood Members Meeting 2024
Can confirm the 640 was awesome.
The MP4 2B was also excellent!
Will upload a few more pics at some point once I’ve regained my hearing after the can am demo!

Re: Test drive report
The mileage discrepancy seems to just be one MOT with no mileage recorded. All the others are consistent. I have a mileage discrepancy on the 330, thanks to an MOT tester typing 133,000 instead of 113,000 one year :roll: I wonder if there is a way of rectifying such a discrepancy. Issue is likely e...

Re: Test drive report
Turbo cars are notorious for needing new turbos aren't they. Trying to remember whether that was 993 or 996 but probably both - issuing being that they're low to the ground and get immersed in water and other shit which weld the wastegates shut IIRC.

Goodwood Members Meeting 2024
I will be going along on Saturday with my son. Anyone else of this parish attending?
Looking forward to the CanAm demonstration and seeing the T50 for the first time. Mainly though i'm excited to see this do a demo lap:

Re: And then there was none..
Actually - I smell an opportunity here... Ian my friend... I have a very exclusive members club - GGAutos. Its a mere £10,000 p.a. buy in and you get annual usage of my 911 and Range Rover and whole 100 miles per year! 50% the cost and double the mileage of those other chancers. If you're on board I...

Re: Dangerous beers...
I find that much above 7/8% the taste tends to suffer, e.g. Westmalle Dubel is excellent - tripel somewhat less so.

Re: And then there was none..
The thing with these schemes is that if you're wealthy enough to buy in you're wealthy enough to buy or rent the car so in effect they're pointless.

Effectively a grand a day with an averaged out limit of 50 miles per day.

Borrow one of your brother's cars. Don't do it in the Smart. You'll either end up dead or wishing you were dead.

Doesn't he already have a Bentley?
Anyway - correct answer is an L405 FFRR TDV8. Loire Blue with Ivory interior to be precise. Call me for details.

Re: Test drive report
Maybe relevant to post this here as much as the fleet running reports - my son is now tall enough to sit without a child seat so he now ocassionally travels in the front of the 911 when his mum is not with us. He got to do that on Sunday and I took him down Harry's road (which he has seen in the vid...

Re: Test drive report
With the particular chassis dynamics of a 911 I'm not against ensuring it has the maximum traction available... Even with 295s on the back of mine, across a twisty B-road in Scotland over crests and dips you can feel the rear subtly moving and shimmying across the road surface - I'm not sure I'd wan...
