Just popped in to say Hi

Hi Guys I'm still living the dream with my E-Hybrid Panamera after selling my Macan a couple of years ago, so I thought I'd drop in and see what was what. It's good to see there is still the odd name I recognise, mostly new ones though, but I guess we all do this if we move off a Macan at some point...

Re: Hello & TDI Tuning box for SD

I had the TDI twin channel tuning box on my SD and it was very good, I ran it for 45k and then sold it when I sold the car - it owes me nothing and gave an overall better feel to the car across the range when set to the middle setting - higher ones are available if you like :D For the money you can'...

Re: Panamera E-Hybrid Loaner

I bought a new (to me) 2017 model a couple of months ago - I'm still on my first tank of fuel! https://i.postimg.cc/c4p3dTjV/2019-09-17-15-41-19.jpg The newer ones get around 21 miles of pure electric, and as I charge it each night and most of it's runs are 4 to 12 miles, the petrol engine seldom ki...

Sorry, it went to a new owner as soon as I mentioned it would be going for sale soon - it's now installed and being gloated over by it's new owner ;)

Re: Extended warranty claims

Regardless of the complaints, if they are valid - and lets face it, if Porsche take your money they should make sure your taken care of - then it's very unprofessional - and I'd say misleading, to give out details of the ombudsman knowing they don't cover this. I'd send your finding to the car press...

Re: Saying Hi / Car Play / TDI Tuning etc

Thanks for the reply, I understand now - but I'm not sure why I would want my reverse camera on my phone?

If it were surround cameras and you could check it while in the pub then that would be a good one :D

Re: Saying Hi / Car Play / TDI Tuning etc

I've just sold my Macan and get a Panamera R Hybrid tomorrow, so I've just removed me TDI box I've had for the past 4 years and can't recommend it enough for additional economy and performance. It's not that your revving the car all the time for max power, but when I removed it a couple of days ago ...

Re: How much is too much?

It's ironic that people think you should not buy a nice car to use - surely that is the whole point of buying a nice car?

If you can afford it buy it, if not, look at a cheaper option and have your soul wither on those many, many, joyless kms :oops:

I specifically looked for it, there are tons in black and grey and only a handful in white, but although virtually all my previous cars have been black I've really taken to white of late :P
