New discs and pads due to lack of use! Not heard that one before. There must be 1000's of Porsches that hardly get driven. Not even done 3000 miles in my own yet.

Wow Skyway, that’s a lot of cash tied up in something you just look at! 😳

😂 At this stage it’s a keeper and am suspecting my last ICE.

We’ll see.

All the time I have my ultra cheap to run Merc as a business daily it doesn’t make sense to sit in traffic in the Macan so I keep that for all my fun/personal travel.

Probably an extravagance but one that puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. That’s priceless to me 😁

I just don't have as much time as I'd like whilst still working but hope to get out in it more in the next year, but hey, that's life. There are also very few roads down here that make owning a 'drivers' car worthwhile, but the options are just too boring for me to consider :D

P.S. I would add that I have also been out of the country to what equates to 2 months this year.

This was a big issue with Boxsters/caymans, if you put the car away (garaged maybe) wet the inside of the discs used to rot away!
Most Boxster owners I know either purchased a ‘blower’ to dry the discs prior to putting it away after a wash or drive round the block & dry them off.

I've always gone round the block to dry my discs in the 981. Then garaged.

On 65k miles, original discs, and pads. Front discs/pads will need changing soon surely? Waiting for the sensor to tell me.

The Macan had brand new discs/pads fitted just before we bought it from the OPC last month. I wonder if they'll last so long... hmmm...

I was quoted £649.29 for battery replacement for my Macan from Silverstone. Looks like price increased this year?
