Re: £1.25m Carrera GT

The values of these really did stay quite ‘low’ for over a decade! The death of the NA Manuel supercar has seen prices skyrocket though. Iva and I spotted one on a Sunday out for a casual drive with a Singer and a few regular 911’s in Alford Surrey. Regarding the mileage….. It does seem criminal I a...

Re: 718 Cayman S

Am positive that you could get gold ‘JPS’ and ‘John Player Special’ decals custom made! :) Haha, yes I bet :lol: I guess one could have the GTS 4.0 changed in the same type face to say JPS 4.0. Don’t want Semerka’s car looking like like a pack of fags though, so probably safest to stop now :shock: ...

Re: 718 Cayman S

That’s a lovely choice!
Very smoothy done.

The only thing I would consider, is the rear nomenclature.
Black script on green, right next to chrome script on black can look a little bust to some.

I do love the P O R S C H E script though. Tricky one.

Re: 718 Cayman S

This is all going rather well :) Congrats on your order! Semerka’s JP enjoyed a speedy jaunt to Southern Bohemia in October. Rev limiter in sixth was briefly hit on the Autobahn. We popped out to this lovely local road between the lakes after dinner one evening to take a quick video. While you’re wa...

Re: MPG...911

Turbo engines are really frugal in car that size and weight with tall gleaming (when cruising along) This was Semerka’s 991.2 2S PDK after a steady drive to Dorset on Christmas Eve ‘19. I could scarcely believe it! F2A7C0A3-6853-4CB5-9D4C-DCFCCCDB7954.jpeg The midnight return trip was 27% faster, bu...

Re: Best non-Porsche engine

The same engine in our M135i it's an absolute cracker. Almost the same engine as in my old E46 M3 but with turbo added. BMW straight sixes superb! Your M135i (if the 2012+ era F2* model) was a single turbo cheaper version called N55. Still amazing and actually less potential issues. The E46 M3 you ...

Re: Best non-Porsche engine

What was/is your best non-Porsche engine? Let’s assume that since Macan has a Porsche-tweaked engine, it is classified as Porsche. My best engine was 3.0L straight-6, twin-turbo motor, mounted in a BMW 435i What was/is yours? That was the N54, which was amazing and won engin eof the year several ti...
