Re: Mini

I had a hip operation which has resulted in me being bored off my trolley not yet being able to walk so..... I thought that these days you weren't allowed to lounge around and they used a cattle prod to get you moving almost as soon as you came round! Be a good boy and do what the physio tells you....

Re: One year with my Macan S

Your MPG figures, off the MFD by chance? Neat pair of insulated Hormann Garage doors BTW, I have a double garage but just one large door. Zero issues with the door but dropping the remote did it no good at all. Installed the electric doors when the house was built 24 years ago, they've gone up and ...

Re: One year with my Macan S

Glad you are enjoying the S, thanks for posting the detail. I too bought a ready configured Macan, but mine was the showroom car. Two things that I found missing on that Macan were ACC and surround cam, although it did have revcam.. As I live in the North West where to go most places we use the Moto...

Re: Alloy Wheel Insurance

In 8 years of Macan ownership, Zero kerb damage to my Spyders.

Keep the cash and pay for refurb as and when.

Re: Macan: swap my Gen Three 20” wheels for 18”?

Buying a set of Winter wheels and tyres would be a better option.

They do come up on here for sale from time to time.

If most of my driving was in the Winter with Snow then I would certainly not have All Seasons on the car, Winters yes.
