Congratulations on your first marriage, the second most expensive day of your life. The most expensive is, of course, the day you get divorced. Hope you're both having a great day, try to remember as much as you can (i.e. stay vaguely sober) as it flys by so very quickly.

Epic, pinched the cat one for FB

I was, and only took her off the market last week. I've discovered that I've a bit more equity in the house than I thought (never was any good at maths) so the need to sell to fund the house move has pretty much disappeared overnight. I'm also very much aware that I've now had her for almost three years, which is the longest I've ever kept a car and I've not really seen anything 'better' that has caught my eye. I don't want to jinx things, but I may have found a keeper at last! A Zed may still be inbound to the household though later this year, watch this space Anyhoo, just at the hotel in Caen now uploading the vids & pics from today. Update soon!

And...?

Oh Ian, that's bloody horrendous mate Fingers crossed the other guy is insured too.

Oh trust me, I know exactly how stringent Porsche can be with their warranty stuff, there's not a single non-OEM thing on mine apart from the PH smiley on the back window, It's why I had to cough up over £2K for the exhaust rather than a quarter of that, although I have to admit it is a decent bit of kit. I'm giving serious thought to not renewing the warranty this year though so I can fit various other odds and sods (mostly suspension bits, ironically OEM off a GT3), but I'm still not sure on that yet.

I've pretty much had all four seasons in the one week I've also discovered Mahou beer, which is pretty damn tasty. It's a lager but quite a smooth and creamy one, almost like a Caffreys or similar.

Did the great big sticker saying '98RON ONLY' by the fuel cap not give you a hint?! Regardless, I wouldn't fret over anything now, just stick with 98 from now on and whatever will be, will be. Nothing you can do about it either way, so no point in worrying

If you remove it you make the rear lighter, which is going to increase oversteer. Whether that's a bad thing or not depends on what you're trying to achieve. I used to remove mine on trackdays, but as the car was 80% road based I had the geo done with it in. Suspension settings won't really be altered by anything worth worrying about either with it in or out, so just go with whatever's easier.

Day 9 Upon waking this fine morning, I peered out of the bedroom window to gaze upon the mountain tops opposite, but alas could not see them. This was because they were covered in fog! Despite yesterday, I was still going to carry on with my route but this new development meant that any kind of fun driving on roads where you can't see more than 2ft in front of you just isn't a good idea. As such, I carried on with the coastal road instead. T'was a nice drive, although even at just 100m above sea level the fog was definitely noticeable so I'm very glad I didn't bother trying to venture any further up. I did find one bit of road which was quite high and open, nothing like yesterday but it still made me feel a bit odd, but I pushed through and was determined to drive it as hard as I normally would. I did too, so I felt like that was a little bit of success for the day Found a nice little beach as well where I stopped off to take some pictures, althbough I didn't hang around for too long: The beach was invaded by a group of school kids, guessing 12-13 years old, and a single bloke hanging around such an area with a flipping great camera taking photos was probably not such a good idea, so I left rather sharpish! Before I headed for the hotel, I had a plan... Slightly longer video than usual due to decent upload speeds for a change. Best laid plans and all that! Am at my final Spanish hotel now, and will pop down for some grub in a bit. I'm going to miss Spain as I've really enjoyed my time here, and heading back into France is really going to make the holiday feel like it's almost over.

Pfft, excuses excuses!

That my good lady is absolute slander Can't be as it's been written down, not spoken

1. More than likely. If not, they can get it made. 2. Nope, not in a wrap and not on a Zed. 3. Very mid-90s. Whether that is a good thing or not depends on your viewpoint.

Depends on pads and compounds, but it's definitely a step in the right direction

I have to admit, it was the Porsche one I put in just in case they weren't lying

Is it definitely in gear? 100%? If so, you need a new gearbox ASAP. As in yesterday.

If it doesn't lock up then your gearbox is shot to absolute pieces. I'm betting it's fine and you've just not let it move far enough to lock up.

Sssssshhhhhhhh the car will hear you and blow up again I've got another spare fuse if it blows again though, I bought a spare pack from a petrol station out here not realising that Porsche actually give you spares anyway They do say in the manual only to 'use official Porsche fuses that are designed for your vehicle' though: Utter load of b*llocks, it's a bloody fuse FFS!

Car is fixed! Can't find the other 12v supply, but working on the basis that I have two I changed another fuse which was definitely blown and the cigarette lighter is functioning again! Great success

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA he's right y'know.

Brilliant, I GLOL'd! :lol: I love the overtaking page

How does it work though? Are there significantly less mongs on the road now? Nope. They don't care about points or bans or whatever, they just carry on without a licence if necessary. They would care significantly more if they couldn't afford to own a car though, even a £1K shed would be out of reach if you'd just been fined that for driving like a knob. The current system isn't fair to rich and poor alike anyway, as the rich guys just buy expensive lawyers who get them off.

Moi? Never! Okay, so I possibly strayed a fraction over, but you'd be surprised at the limit of that road and just how short geared the 911 is.
