Le Mans 24 hour Win

I don't think that it really bothers anyone in VAG as the family won anyway. It really doesn't make sense for Porsche to fight Audi......queue Audi ....F1SB Helmut ( Marko) would like to think so but they've put an awful lot into Dirty Diesel over the years - not sure if performance petrol engines ...

Le Mans 24 hour Win

I wonder if its too late to change my spec to a V4 2.0 litre petrol Hybrid.....?

Well done to Porsche for breaking Audi's stranglehold on the Le Mans race, any Forum members make the trip?

Watching my baby grow!

Sort of agree with you emptygroves, but having visited a numbet of car plants over the years and seen production lines it does take away a little of the "emotion" of the car. Robots, arc welds, showers of sparks etc is far removed from the hand built craftsmaship we all (well mostly) secretly wish f...

Black paint - swirls

My Macan 1 was jet black metallic and after 12 months was free of swirrls but I did wash and dry carefully with decent microfibre mitts and towels. I've just bought a microfibres mitt - should I read the above as "wash with mitt and dry with towels"? It's just that I can't see the mitt ever drying ...
