She does, but it's a cute colour dinosaur.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Got my tyre pressure warning light on my left rear for the second time today. Investigation found a screw in the tread, and to keep things on an even keel I ordered two. £620 from Black Circles. Think I'll get a glass cover made for the two tyres that come off, repurposing them as a garden table and...

I'd bought 3 Boxsters and 3 Caymans before I was asked why I hadn't 'tried' for a GT4. :roll:

Bloody hell, first guess. Well done.

A Macan T, due end of June. Will be the Yeti replacement.
Congratulations, you'll love it.

My missus bought an AX GT in 1988, and if I remember correctly, at 745 kg it weighed less than most Lotus Elises! Might be able to forgive a little flimsiness?

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

Spotted a GT3 parked in the centre of Birmingham on Friday. Shamefully I don’t know if it was a 991 or 992, not if it was an RS. It was blue with blue pinstripes round the rim of the alloys. And I undertook a motorbike yesterday evening on my way into Cheltenham. Wouldn’t have done so but it was a ...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Went out with my mates in their rover 600 and 911 this morning to a new cars and coffee place near chatsworth. They've got a good place there so worth popping in if you are near Baslow (road to chesterfield about a mile on the right). https://www.instagram.com/ignition_cars_coffee/ Thanks for the h...

Re: Jag sports coupes. Thoughts?

F-Types are beautifully proportioned, but too large in every direction. I'm currently in a Cayman GTS and very happy. At 69 it will be many years before I could consider a Jaaaag. ;)

The Cayman had its first service at 2 years old this morning. That's £967 I'll never see again. :( Still, the cakes in the customer reception area were excellent!

I can’t help thinking that the more pro Emira people are, the less likely they are to be in a position to buy one.

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. I'll be sticking with what I've got...
