Re: Emira V6 vs Cayman GTS

I grew up loving Lotuses, have owned 4 in the past and love the look of the Emira. However, It's about 120 mm wider than my GTS which makes it unable to park it in my single width garage, (the Porsche just fits), and more of a liability in many driving situations.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Mine was that age and cycling in the road but…. I told him when to stop and go, we talked about where he should be when in the car leading up to it, I talked through everything I was looking at when cycling and it was dry on a relatively low traffic area. Rules are rules but there is no reason to b...

Do modern manuals still say to check drains are clear ?

Re: Car finances and budgeting

I always imagine my knees/back will tell me when to stop buying low, expensive(ish) sports cars; and that's how things tend to work out. ;)

Someone's already suggested MX5, so my second thought is an UP GTI.

Re: Car Insurance Renewal Roulette

Ran the Porsche through money supermarket - best price £200. I thought "That sounds reasonable" - got my renewal through from One Call - £120. I'm sticking with OneCall! Can't believe it's so cheap, in fact it's probably the single cheapest aspect of 928 ownership - that's less than the p...

Re: Salon Prive

I enjoyed myself immensely. My partner enjoyed it less so! She’s pointed out that between Goodwood, Royal Artillery in London and now this, we’ve done quite a few “car events”.. I told her I’d take someone else next time if she prefers and she hasn’t mentioned it since! 😂 I suspect you may have mis...

There's no option for 'If I was that rich I'd have a GT3T, GT3RS and a 718 Cayman 4.0 to fetch the milk' You loose. Bugger! We went to the Cotswolds for a long weekend in our GTS 4.0, and I just realised we forgot the milk. :oops: We based our weekend around 'Supercar Saturday' and 'Classic Sunday'...
