Re: Porsche 992. Starting to lust...

Saw dark blue one on the road near Utrecht in rush hour yesterday. Very distinctive rear with the light band right across. Twin exhaust pipes, widely spaced. Sounded glorious..

Re: California road trip

We did this 10 years ago. Flew into LA, and spent the first night in a cheapo motel (picking up a car on arrival is horrible). Picked up a Toyota SUV from the hire place first thing (no queuing, choose any one you want from about a dozen) in bright sunshine. Drove to Long Beach and stayed a couple o...

Re: Broke cover... yesterday!

Might be a bit far for me - I have to come all the way up the A3 with a ferry before that. Anywhere south of the M25 would work.....

Appreciate it may be hard finding somewhere that suits everyone.

Re: Broke cover... yesterday!

Wow, that's quite a spec - presumably specced by the dealer (as was mine). BTW, there's a typo in your posted code - the last "O" should be a zero.

Re: Broke cover... yesterday!

Very nice - great colour. Do you have the Porsche code? must be a great spec with all those options.

Re: Elon Musk in hot water again.

I'm not sure VW has got away with it - so far it has paid around $25 billion in fines and restitution in the US, and at least one VW executive is in jail. Having said that, it hasn't paid out a bean outside the US so far AFAIK. I doubt Tesla will disappear given its brand, technology and market posi...

Re: Elon Musk in hot water again.

"One thing for certain, Tesla will face increased competition in the very near future and unless they can get their act together they will be priced out of the market." I agree. However, I think there is a more pressing problem: cash. Tesla has debt repayments due in November and March whi...

Re: Elon Musk in hot water again.

Col, I don't think it is as simple as that. He and the company are already being sued in a class action for losses sustained by some of the short sellers he was apparently so keen to see burned. These losses are said to amount to billions of dollars ($1.3 billion in a single day according to the law...
