I found my 2.9 rather uninspiring...

Would you mind moving the steering wheel to the other side and importing it into Switzerland for me, old chap?

Also: crap in the snow, p'raps a bit big, safety, etc.

Hehe...

If you look very carefully, you can just make out the fear in the eyes of Mrs G in the passenger seat...

That one's Flangio's. He's handy with a spanner and likes a challenge, so I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be able to oblige!

Tell you what, bring me a LHD E28 shell, leave me a pile of money and I'll stick M5 running gear into it.

Got to be honest, even the 2.9 can barely pull a cat off a glass table.

[Patrick Bateman]

The 2.9 can't be that different to a 986 S in terms of pace, shirley? And if the 986 S would have sufficed...

[Output Flange]

Some people...

To be fair, my scooter takes lugs me to work on 600bhp/tonne, so my perception of performance is somewhat skewed. I agree there is more to Pork than outright bhp figures though. But it's hard to remain smiling when your average Heathrow taxi has the potential to pull your pants down.

Bazinga.

One for the ///M'sta threadists......



And one for me

In retrospect, I wonder if the coupe spoils it a little - too quiet, too sanitised? My Cayman felt competent at everything, but not really great at anything. Had I kept it I'd have soon been looking at improving the noises it made at the very least, I think.

Sure; I've been lurking longer than you had the big red one

Did you drive it in any significant depth of snow on that trip? (On winters, I presume?)

Ooooh - cheeky!

And no: no significant depth - just a smattering really. And no winter tyres. It was early September, sunny and temperature in the mid-20's deg C when we set off at the bottom of the pass. What we found at the top took us somewhat by surprise

Great trip though!

Looks really good, but 35k EUR?!

I must stop posting things here, I swear it's bad luck. Evidently 35k EUR was reasonable - it's gone already.

Alpina road tax... Turns out it's only £126.50 for 6 months. How does that work then?

Pleasantly surprised!

And insurance no more expensive than the little 1er.

Can't wait for Saturday...
