When I had my 981 CS (4 years), I was never blown away with the 718's, once I got over that extra rush of power, which only really manifested itself (to me at least) when rolling along past 40/50 mph. That said, I'm 2 years into a diesel Macan and I'm sure a drive of a 718S now would blow my socks o...

Looks a beauty, very similar to mine, but with all the missing bits I now wish mine had, PSE, light pack, auto-dim mirrors, electric towbar.

Went and camped back in the '90s to a 24hr m/c race. Next morning the circuit was open and we rode around 'race stylee'. Exiting Pouhon, I was faced with a LR Defender coming the other way - it hadn't registered that the circuit was open in both directions!

Cleared the hangover pretty sharpish!

Must admit, owning both a Q5 and a Macan, the lack of rear legroom in the Macan is a bit of a let down. Initially went to look to buy a Cayenne after having a loaner when the Cayman was in, but got seduced by this brand new SD sat in the showroom which was the same price as the used Cayenne.

I'm in the 'it's a waste of time in an SUV' camp. Sport is enough of a performance upgrade in my SD, whereas the Sport+ feels, well a bit silly. All revs/noise to no great effect.

I've had comments from pals (JLR workers as it happens), that my boot release sounds broken! It's much louder than our Q5 admittedly.

Must admit, saw it was on and for the first time thought about the presenters and decided no, I won't waste my time with it. It's an ex-show, dead, deceased, bereft of life, shuffled off from this mortal coil.......

As a motorcyclist, I just assume everyone else on the road is an incompetent dickhead and is out to kill me.

It instills a degree of caution that "seems" to work? - touchwood of course!!

I keep an eye on OPC values, knock £7k off and use that as a weather vane for the value of my car. Currently looking like £40k for a £65k new, 21 month old, 13k miler (SD). That assumes that the current 'dieselaphobia' isn't adding extra grief? So, at £1,200 pcm, this is currently the worst depreci...
