Re: Factory tyres

Hi folks, Silly question - but just wondering if I were to do factory order and say I’ve specified the 20” turbo wheels - which tyres come with them? Will they be all season tyres? Which make/model of tyres come with the 20” turbo wheels? When A/S tyres were available they were a ticked option. The...

Re: The future is green

Teslas - not a common site in Euroland, at least judging by the non-use of chargers. Pic 1 - me at a hotel near Reims, Pic 2 - a huge French superkarket near Lyon on a very busy Saturday afternoon.

Re: Privacy glass - replacement

My pet hate is privacy glass. So, my option is to have the privacy glass replaced with clear glass. I'm almost with you on privacy glass but only with it just on the rear windows. On Macan No2, I ordered clear glass, then had all the glass tinted the same, thus avoiding the 'van' look, and the trim...

It's Tansanite Blue 2, full of reflective flakes. It's lovely in bright light, hard to see it in photos.
