It takes a little bit of getting used to, but does have voice control for user input. All the Uber drivers here use it, so there's plenty of data input :D

Liking the sport tailpipes & looking forward to having those fitted to my Panamera. The OPC are just awaiting the delivery of the parts...
I like to keep it clean, easiy done in France, Italy and Germany, they have really good diy car washes with foam and even de-ionised water at one.
I specced the chrome tailipes so they stand out, they’re such a potent feature of the Macan that I wanted them really visible, standard and black disappear a bit.
They’ll look good on a Carmine Panamera, am sure you’ll post a photo.

Post a photo? Moi?!? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looking at the picture of the tyre I am surprised it took 10-15 seconds to go down. Nice to know it handles well when things go wrong though. And you are all ok.

Thinking back it was probably much quicker, although no panic at all, but there's a lot to take account of on a busy dual carriageway when these things happen.

It obviously came up quickly enough that you didn't end up wrecking your wheel. Nice to know these safety systems actually work!

Fortunately there was a side road to the right that took the weight off the inner wheel as I steered off the main road. As I came to stop, the wheel just touched the road very lightly and put a small graze on the rim that is now smoothed out and painted. It could have been mch worse.

You had me worried for a moment, I took the picture after I pulled over, waiting for the breakdown lorry. Yes kph but could I have been doing 90 on a flat tyre, I hope not. I must have been going slower that I thought when it went, thank goodness, it was 90 limit busy dual carriageway.
