Earth quake delays!!

Tyre and wheel insurance

On previous car, on day six of ownership l got a large screw in the edge of the tyre, worked out at about £1 a mile driven on it for the new tyre. After about 9 months I hit a pothole necessitating a new AMG wheel at £500 + vat and two new tyres (wanted to keep the tyres the same on one axle). So ju...

Pebble interior and keeping clean

I had a merc with light grey leather interior for a couple of years. After about 6 months I noticed the drivers seat was beginning to look a bit discoloured, so a quick spray of some of the wife's Audi leather cleaner and a quick wipe down and as good as new again.

Macan on Top Gear

Just Chris Evans shouting a lot. Daft test with the cocktail in the car, didn't demonstrate anything other than cheats prosper. Would have like a proper sum up at the end with the drivers pushing their car for best. Drop Evans and employ Seasick Steve instead!

Brexit affects on price and delivery

Any thoughts on what an out vote would have on price and delivery over the next few months. My Macan S is due around September. I'm for out, but could be shooting myself in the foot?

Metallic paint or not?

Thanks for all the comments, I know all about black showing the dirt, I've had probably 5 or 6 black cars in the past. I think I'm with the Wing Commander, solid black and LED lights in preference to metallic and xenons.

To me it looks "blacker" but are there any dis advantages of non metallic with modern paints. It used to be said that the metallic paints were harder and less likely to suffer from ...

Revision 99z!

Ok, I've commented on others configurations, lock down is approaching, here's mine for comment.PH9ALLH9I like a car that is light inside, hence the pano roof and light coloured leather interior. I won't be taking it on a race track so no big wheels, torque vectoring or launch control. I've tried the...

Latest Finance Offers

Sorry folks I just work on the principle that now I'm retired, if I can't pay cash for it, I can't have it, as my pension isn't up to Porsche finance rates!
