Harry’s Garage
Re: Harry’s Garage
"If you've got some town work to do". SERIOUS TOWN WORK.
I don't know what you lot are all moaning about, Lord M's videos are great. That one I particularly enjoyed, seems like one of the best Turbots.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Exactly. He doesn’t buy new cars often enough to just review his own garage and produce a video every week. Motoring journalist reviewing new press cars: ooh, shocker; and he manages to review interesting classics as well from his contacts at dealers. Basically sourcing cars in the same way as Octane or Evo do.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Got to agree. And I'm getting old now, I think I'd prefer a Turbo to a GT3. Especially that Turbo S. I'd have to try both though
Re: Harry’s Garage
Saw an R on the way back from picking up the 'lise, that's just about perfect. I think they are giving the GT3 a Manuel again too though, so that would do me fine. It would be hard to choose the TurbotS over that.speedingfine wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:29 amGot to agree. And I'm getting old now, I think I'd prefer a Turbo to a GT3. Especially that Turbo S.

Re: Harry’s Garage
I’ve always preferred the turbo to the GT cars tbh. I’d have one

GT all the way for me.

Re: Harry’s Garage
The way the Turbo just fucked off at a high rate of knots from the junction is a little bit alarming.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Biggest single step up in horsepower between generations - quite something. I remember being amazed by 2.5s 0-60 in a Veyron and now this matches it. Massively prefer non DCR though and hate those wheels. The Carwow reviewed GT silver one with simpler wheels much more to my taste.
£170k is still a bit silly in my mind though. Will be interesting to see how many they sell at that price.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Oh, and Lord M is right about the plastic. It doesn't bother me that much around the vent, but at the back it looks cheap.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Interestingly, looking back at the configurator, they now offer sufficient customisation options (mit manuel also!) to get rid of the awkward rear end treatment and crap looking engine cover / high level light, put a dirty great big wing on the back and basically spec something which looks like a GT3
First generation since the 996.1 that looks better with the sport design bodykit. Shows how wrong they got the original design IMO - particularly after the 991.2 which looked brilliant. Sport design wing looks better than the weird looking one on the turbo too. Very odd.

Re: Harry’s Garage
That captured just how clean and effortless it was to put down the speed. Would love a Turbo S and I still love his videos.Jimmy Choo wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:37 am The way the Turbo just fucked off at a high rate of knots from the junction is a little bit alarming.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Yeah, real world Veyron pace (unless you have somewhere you can reliably go 120+ safely) for sub £200k and that is usable daily is pretty damned impressive no matter how you cut it.
Re: Harry’s Garage
You'd think for £170k they'd make them from CF, or colour code them! The duct is a bit boring too. Surely they could make it a more interesting shape.
Interesting that the new Turbo has a bit more of an edge to the way it drives. That said, it doesn't appeal to me though. I'd rather have a Cayman GT4 and £100k change.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Obviously very impressive, but am I alone in not finding it desirable ?

Re: Harry’s Garage
I absolutely adore the wheels on Harry's. Not sure I'd want to have centre-lock wheels on my own for purely practical reasons (bloody impossible to get them done up to the right torque at home), but they look stunning.GG. wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 11:03 am Interestingly, looking back at the configurator, they now offer sufficient customisation options (mit manuel also!) to get rid of the awkward rear end treatment and crap looking engine cover / high level light, put a dirty great big wing on the back and basically spec something which looks like a GT3

Re: Harry’s Garage
That is very impressive. Not sure if I desire one massively, but I do like it.
Great memories being created at the end of the vid for his grandson - that seat moves back quite a bit with the gees.

JIC, those wheels are stunning.
Just a quick straw poll, is there anyone on this forum that liked these? My BIL had them fitted to his 997 C4... I didn't have the heart to tell him they were awful
Re: Harry’s Garage
Yeah, not a good looking wheel..
Re: Harry’s Garage
Not a good looking wheel, and the rear doesn’t look central in the arch and the wheelbase is too short. Poor 997
