    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    Yup, as Mr Crud says, I had a mega high spec Macan for about 3 years. Macan S diesel with £35k of options because the first owner had more money than sense but that was nice for me!! We bought from a Porsche main dealer, serviced it through then and kept in inside warranty. The only issue was...

    Exhaust System Modifications and the DSVA.

    It's so boring isn't it. The left wing BS that we are having to endure. The EU block exemption regulation states that as long as a modification is completion to similar or better than manufacturer standards, then it is OK. Changing a poor quality OEM exhuast for a stainless steel version is...

    Sportsitalia…the end

    Not if you look in Scotland, where everything is freehold, none of the leasehold nonsense here.

    MC20 Personal Views

    They are all overpriced these days. The buyers have changed to the Instagram generation who buy on payments, based on YouTube view revenues. This is good for the rest of us as they are all depreciating to sensible levels quickly. The MC20 is technically special compared to many others such as...

    A Le Mans entry, my dear Watson

    I'd look at a route that does Brantes (mt Ventoux), Saint Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Valbonne/Mougins, Cap Ferrat, Beausoleil, Monaco, San Remo and then back up through the Alps to Chamonix, Geneva then home via Reims. Carcasonne is amazing but it's a little bit west and will add a load of...

    A Le Mans entry, my dear Watson

    Are you going by yourself? On the way back, I'd skirt closer to Geneva as the mountain roads are better than the autoroute.

    GS ULEZ emissions

    If it helps, the ULEZ shows my 1998 Boxster as being non-compliant however Porsche UK send out original Porsche certificates of conformity and these show it as being compliant. The next stage is to send that to ULEZ and have it marked up properly. It seems that back in the 2000s, the DVLA did...

    2024 Some Scottish Car Events

    12th May is the same day as Porsche in the Glen, which will drag a lot of people away. Just so you know.

    Joining the electric car club

    It's always the case that a minority shouts the loudest. We all absorb the noise and tolerate it in the main. But when you start to impact on civil liberty and freedom - in this case the ability to go where you want, when you want, and to do that without border or difficulty - then to you risk...

    Joining the electric car club

    Agreed, the point is that those that can, now have (in the main) and as the incentives don't pass down the line, the 2nd wave don't want them.

    Joining the electric car club

    You are right, and a good point. We looked at this option and it's just not really worth it. My point was that given the range if 40miles or so of most plug-ins, these should really be treated the same at EVs. That's how are EU neighbours are doing it as of course, most journies are short and...

    So true. And with the EV, they will drop more and more as they close in on their useful battery lifespans (as little as 8 years for some, more for others) until the price to replace the battery waaaaayyyyy outweighs the value of the car and then we have a scrap lithium issue on a massive scale...

    Joining the electric car club

    This. In spades. Here is the issue - the back, slapping political pledge to meet green targets led to the incentives for buyers of new EVs (as in Ewan's case). So a modest amount of early adopters found themselves in the ideal situation to take advantage - 100% deduction from corporation tax...

    Best and Worst car stereo

    Best was Volvo in our XC60, I agree that the Maserati one was rubbish but that's what x-pipes are for. Any car is not really the ideal environment for true hi-fi sound so I don't mind as long as it's decent. Had Burmeister in the Macan, Harmon/Kardon in the M2, Bose in 911 but none where a...

    Ghibli X-pipe

    A good local fabricator can make one easily. There is a centre resonator - like many other Maserati - that is easy enough to chop out and replace. You don't need a Larini or Remus part, it's just some pipes.....

    Range Rover advice

    Do you still want a new RR? A pal of mine in London ordered a new one and the lowest insurance quote was £26k. Madness. Brand damage on a monumental scale, what are they doing in the JLR boardroom?

    Exhaust Modification for 222SR?

    My 2.0 Italian markket BiTurbo had an Ansa back box on it, which was cool in an old school Ferrari GTO kind of way. Sounded nice.
