  1. Cheers for the heads up. Luckily a tank of V Power is enough to get me down there as long as the Carefour station is open!
  2. I wouldn't bother with the RV, if you want to go posh you can get fancy glamping tents which are pre setup for your arrival. There is also hot food on offer and a bar at some places. That way you can still drive some decent cars down

    Cayman 718

    Boxster and Cayman have the same engines now. 2 litre turbo or 2.5 turbo, same power outputs. The Cayman is actually the cheaper car now!

    Cayman 718

    This is very true! A lot of the ex demo's are very highly spec'd too. The problem I have is I need a new car before September for work reasons so I doubt one will become available before then

    Cayman 718

    Your review is very similar to most on PH. Basically the view that everything is perfect except the engine which as you say is an important part! I wouldn't place an order until I hear the PSE which the Reading OPC will have in mid June. I didn't like the tone as much as the 981S but the other improvements do still sway it for me. The thing I hate about Porsche is the bloody options list its ridiculous! Also DAB not being standard now is also mental.

    Cayman 718

    So after final deciding on my new car (Cayman 981S) Porsche decide to release a new version which on paper is far better. For those of you that are not aware the the new Cayman 718 none S is just as quick (if not quicker) than the old 981 S version. Price wise a 13 plate 981S from an OPC is around £45k and a brand new 718 is 40k but realistically 45k after the normal options. Major man maths goes underway and in my head the 718 will now actually save me money over the 981 over 3 years.... I test drove the 718 Boxster today as the Cayman isn't out until Mid August but it has the same engine and that's the main change I am interested in. First impressions are very very good, such a delight to drive and loads of power from very low down in the rev range. The steering is pin point precise and really easy to drive in auto mode for my long commutes. I am now massively torn as I always said I would never buy a new car and especially one with only a 2 litre engine :| Opinions greatly appreciated!
  7. If your fussy I would not be looking for full Nissan service history!
  8. Wow! Whats wrong with a recorder these days
  9. Awesome. We are in Houx too so will come say hi! I will be in mine and there will also be a blue HR.
  10. Holy thread revival! I need some help with stickering up the 370Z. Throw your ideas over please

    Audi S5

    Older, slower and less efficient but I have to agree for the noise alone!
  12. I feel like someone has hacked your account! The TT is dog ugly and looks pretty much the same as the diesel version. Yes it's quick but not GTR quick, you say give the TT a mild tune but the same with the GTR will give you 600bhp.
  13. Very close! Looks like a good day.
  14. ET20 all round will be fine, I ran that on my 50 with 9.5J on the front and 10.5J on the back
  15. I paid 10 quid a day for a Skoda with enterprise when I was between the 50 and the 70. Rubbish car but dirt cheap!
  16. Rota and Cougar Store have shown amazing customer service and I will be receiving a new wheel tomorrow FOC with my old tyre already fitted! They couldn't find any reason for the crack and as there was no other damage present on the wheel they have put it down to a defect. Further tests will be done by the warehouse in due course. Can't get much better than that, so the car will be back on the road for the weekend
  17. Could be worse... Lol! Too soon?!
  18. This should be getting sorted by Rota themselves via the ever so helpful Cougar Store. Car is currently on axle stands and feeling very sad
  19. Hopefully as the car didn't make it to Japfest. Really depends when I am selling it, at the moment I am definitely going to Le Mans in it and hopefully the Nissan Event Day in August.
  20. Spoke to you at Japfest about it bud
  21. Not sure if joking...
  22. Great photos buddy you are getting good with the camera!
