Testdrove the Tesla Model S

Tesla looks interesting (and fantastic write up) however my biggest worry is what it will be like in 3 years and if it will have any residual value at all in 5 years. I think this technology is evolving and will come of age soon. I am just not quite ready for it yet!

Is My Porsche Code Working?

How strange. Works for me in Firefox but not in MS Edge (the thing in Windows 10 that replaced Internet explorer).

Thinking about ordering a pts colour

I hate to upset things here, but PTS has disappeared off the confuserator. Looking at another recent post, it seems that we are now limited to just the basic colours. So it is black, shades of grey, white or bright blue. Or carmine.

Help me with my non-air Turbo PP spec please

Go with your 13 year old and have the sapphire blue. My wife has told me that I can't have grey as it is far too boring and there are too many grey cars about. Sapphire blue or nothing she said!

My Macan story has a sad ending

I don't think your GP will be very interested if it is only in 1 specific car. You are fine the rest of the time. To your GP, the solution is obvious...

Tyre road noise on 21's

Going back to the comments about PEC instructors and wheel size... mine told me that he could tell the difference between 20 and 21in wheels because he could feel the rubber moving sideways on the smaller wheels making the handling less good. Maybe he can - but I very much doubt that I will on the d...

Ad blue top up

You are right. It adds all of the time. The harder you drive it, the more it adds so if you drive hard you will empty the tank faster. Just like the fuel!

My Macan story has a sad ending

It could just be the AS. Whilst it could be a fume thing it would probably get everyone in the car (certainly if toxic fumes from the engine bay were getting in). I have a friend who went on a canal boat for a week and it took a month for her vertigo to settle - sometimes these things last longer th...

Running in 1000 miles ?

Why would the US market need different running in instructions to the European market?

S or SD

Maybe - but I have never had trouble with "cheap" fuel myself. The best advice though is go and drive them both. They are a different experience and one might suit better than the other.
