Should have fitted F1 Supersport but fitted F1 Asy5. Numpties at Kwik-fit to blame. Nevermind. I've still got the GLC to run around in so it's no problem.

Re: Your fleet running reports
The 245/35R18 rears are out of stock everywhere and I've not got much tread left.

I'd have liked to have tried PS4S if they were in my size but sadly not.
Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah I read really good reviews on the Goodyear Supersport, so was hoping they offered the right size but unfortunately not.
Very limited choices for 295/30/18

Re: Your fleet running reports
Exactly. I'd emailed them as I knew they put the wrong tyre on. I told them type and spec and "Not Runflat!!" At least they got the RF bit rightmik wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 12:59 pm 98% of the population would not have cared - so they chanced it.

Camper in for a service and MOT.
Since I had it remapped, noticed the turbo seems to be getting a bit noisy so getting that Looked at, it’s the 2.5 and the turdbo appears to be original, it’s on 129k but drives great, will see if there’s any play in the shafts and replace/ rebuild accordingly.

Merc also in for service and MOT today. Have an A-Class saloon Manuel as a courtesy car. It's a year since my left leg has been so busy.

Think that’s the same as the rears on my 996, I ended up going for N rated Michelin PS2’s all round, they are ok, nothing amazingCoaster1 wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:17 pm Yeah I read really good reviews on the Goodyear Supersport, so was hoping they offered the right size but unfortunately not.

After a month away from it I really appreciated some WOT on the back roads around where I live just now. It's a little rocket.

There is no performance upgrade like driving something much slower for a while

Yeah PS2s have been around for 15yrs?

Got Cup2s on mine but they scare me on wet motorway and they are rubbish when the condition is cold AND wet/damp.
Re: Your fleet running reports
The tread pattern is old but I was led to believe they use the current compounds.

Yep. Porsche still do development work with tyre manufacturers on old model fitments.Foz wrote: Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:32 pm The tread pattern is old but I was led to believe they use the current compounds.

Slowly slowly catchee monkey
I have brownie points for buying the wife a new MINI and getting rid of the “smelly” Touareg. There’s only space for two cars in the garage though and I don’t want to sell either of them. Extra storage required.
Re: Your fleet running reports
E39 purred its way onto the trailer to be taken away, gutted and the bits exported.
Guy paid in cash and wanted to shake my hand.
Cash has been quarantined by the Mrs, she is wise.
Now to try and recover the eBay fees for the series of auctions that didn't in the end actually sell the car.
It'll miss it, and can get wistful about how "they don't make me like they used to"
