Agreed, no point posting your views or opinions as someone will keep popping up and tell you you're wrong :roll:

Re: Porsche 911 Carrera S (992)

An interesting thread. I am selling my 2019 911 992 CS tomorrow and buying a 6yr old Boxster 981 GTS instead which will suit me better. The 911 is an awesome car but too fast for UK roads in my opinion. So fast that I rarely get to hear the engine anywhere near its top end. If I was going for anoth...

Re: Electric??

9. Those that have bought electric and believe they are so unequivocally right about that decision that they dismiss alternative views (i.e. all the above) as misinformation from dinosaurs living in the past clinging to a dead technology. There's a difference between making an informed vs a misinfo...

Re: Electric??

So in conclusion there are: 1. Those that have no intention to buy electric and are happy to stick with ICE because that's what they like and know 2. Those that have no intention to buy electric yet as they believe its too early to jump into a technology that is still comparitively unproven in the l...

Re: Electric??

If you've already invested in electric then of course you're going to sing its praises, no one wants to think they've made a poor choice. But this game has a long way to run and if you prefer to play the long game its far too to early to pick a winner just yet. I wasn't forced to invest in EV compa...

Re: Electric??

It’s not a competition… 😳🙄 It is for those that have invested in it ;) Absolutely. I'm shamelessly invested in EV. I have significant investment in Rivian, Lucid, Nio, QS and a few others. They might not all work out, but I can see an obvious exponential growth here. If QS comes up trumps with thei...

Re: Electric??

Three things have to happen for EV to take-off and ICE to decline: 1. Vested interests in OIL - $ billions of capex need to be depreciated and the “oil industry needs to transition to alternative energy - that will take decades 2. Power packs (aka batteries) need to be radically improved. Elon Musk...

Re: Porsche 718 Caveman GTS 4.0

You are absolutely right Miopyk. Your B25 is awesome! The GTS 4.0 is a great vehicle as well and I know for a fact that I would be very happy with it. It would provide me with immense satisfaction and grin factor on daily commutes. However, I am also planning for the post-plague days, when we are a...

Re: Porsche 718 Caveman GTS 4.0

2 months and 2k miles into my B25 ownership and I have to say the 4.0 motor is incredible. Like you I've often thought about getting a 911 but I think those thoughts have now rapidly faded away. I think my current car is a keeper. The 911 is for many the pinnacle of Porsche ownership and I can certa...
