    Porsche says tires need replacing, dealer strongly disagrees

    What’s interesting is that at 3mm, a tyre is already ending its useful life. On a lease with VAG, they’ll ask you to return the car with min. 6mm. Nevertheless, Porsche approved website states 3mm min guaranteed. What I can guarantee is that I’d never buy a main dealer approved used car with...

    21" Aero Blades Kerb Scraggs (Curb Rash) Repaired - it happened again!

    Sure - see below! They were like this when I bought the car a while ago - the P Zeros have no rim protection so very easy to damage, and visibility is rather terrible. Never got around to leave the car for days etc. so left unrepaired for now… but it should be easier to sand/touch up as they’re...

    More delays

    I’m 32 with 3 kids, so needed a suitable house for 5 and the perspective of giving away thousands more a year to a bank isn’t fun! So while it lasted, low rates were quite good for beggars with low capital like me ? In France, you get a fixed rate for the whole duration of the contract….! Oh...

    More delays

    Maybe that’s what will finally make me untick the divisive off-road pack from my spec ? Who knew u-turns could be so expensive. But I do feel for Santa’s mortgage and will go easy on the list this year - I have like 30 years remaining and if I was to go on a variable rate today, I’d cringe big time

    21" Aero Blades Kerb Scraggs (Curb Rash) Repaired - it happened again!

    I probably couldn’t ? just the inner wheels OCD in me thinking you can’t paint over diamond cut You got lucky not to touch the carbon bits though! It’s amazing it was just a buff - makes me want to grab the sander and give it a go on a couple of rashes I have (disaster ahead I think). I have a...

    Crap - does it mean it’s on me to buy some stuff for my kids this year?

    21" Aero Blades Kerb Scraggs (Curb Rash) Repaired - it happened again!

    If really picky, only thing is paint doesn’t quite give the shine of OEM diamond turned finish

    Andersen EV Charger Manufacturer in Administration

    That’s super disappointing news. There goes the warranty. And the app is likely to be turned off. They had to replace one of my side trim panels and were brilliant. Nothing looks as good on the market, is as customizable to blend in with your house and I do hope, for the employees as well as...

    21inch CT Design wheels - repair recommend

    When I used to live in Notting Hill I went to Diamond Alloys in Northolt just off the A40. Super easy access and near tube station. I was worried as my A5 rotor alloys were matt gunmetal + diamond cut but came out as new. They do collection I think CT wheels are diamond cut - only a very very...

    Mamba green and resale

    Hope you bought those CT wheels! They look even better than the already cool carbon blades imho

    Clear or stealth PPF on Chalk (Crayon) Taycan?

    That’s interesting - I’m usually loving satin finishes and all things like silly body kits etc. I ordered Crayon too. But Crayon in stealth looks very much like primer! I’d say it’s the one colour in the range which actually needs to be super glossy for it to work so I’d vote standard PPF +...

    Taycan to the Alps 18-day road trip 2022

    Wow - Ionity, 15€, 15min for 44kWh vs. Grid serve 25€ in 40min+ for similar charge! Is it because you consciously waited for longer to get from 80% to 99%? I think this is where a 350mi range is handy - truth is, on long distance, you oscillate between 20-80% SOC, meaning you’re waiving 40% of...

    Taycan to the Alps 18-day road trip 2022

    Wow - the E70 was already feeling quite wide so will see how the CT will do in the tiny towns and single country lanes around here (if it arrives before we start using flying cars…) I was then always selecting “high car >1.85m” and got into the habit of putting my cars (GL, Q7, RR Vogue..) in...

    Taycan to the Alps 18-day road trip 2022

    If useful to anyone to gauge Eurotunnel width - that’s what it looks like: Audi A5 - obviously I wasn’t centered on the lane but basically OK to navigate narrow double decks BMW X5 - nightmare. I did it once, had to try and mount the little metal curb 10 times off boarding as they have “S...

    Maserati Folgore

    Wrong paint / weird decals but I’m sure that it’ll look the part in person. Not as jaw dropping as the original GT, but not as bad as the jump from previous QP to current (bland) one And the electric sound feels alright too! But I’m unsure a Maserati customer would chose a an electric...

    Help me cut $10k from my order

    I think I’d go with a skinnier 4S rather than full fat RWD but that’s just a personal POV on what level of oomph you need in a sporty car Had illuminated sills on Range - no one but me was noticing and even I ended up not caring after a couple of years. For my climate where temperatures do...

    Terrance’s Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Adventures [Delivered!]

    Must be one of the most over spec’d CT4 I’ve seen! Off-road, matrix, PSCBs, Chalk, power charging port… very cool! How does it feel performance-wise vs GTS and why dropping in power?

    CHALK Taycan Club

    Yeah ST is available but I would have liked a Cross Turismo version as well as the offroady looks/practicality suits us better than an ST No reason not to bring one either given there are Cayennes & Macans GTS! Having test driven a 4S I’m not worried about the performance on offer though...

    CHALK Taycan Club

    True, GTS does feel like the new sweet spot in the range and adding things like 14/18 way, matrix, leather, all black accents etc as standard helps to keep “essential” extras down. If only there was a CT GTS! Was expecting to see one coming at some point but no… ?

    CHALK Taycan Club

    Painted Mission Es in Crayon are just rad! Yeah probably but once you’ve gone Turbo base to achieve the same look there’s another 15k to spend on Sport design, power cover, Mission Es, black accents etc so takes you even further than an over spec’d S
