Also having grown up there I can confirm that Wales has a mediterranean climate and the weather is always that beautiful......

I'm hoping your tongue was firmly in cheek when saying that!

Call me old fashioned but I never like to not run a new engine in fully. What does the owner's manual say out of interest?

Good to know app (based on owners manual) says:

Despite the most modern, high precision manufacturing methods, the running in of moving parts with each other cannot be completely avoided. Running in occurs mainly in the first 3,000 KM (1,865 miles).

During the first 3,000 KM (1,865 miles) you should:

Preferably take longer trips.
Avoid frequent cold starts with short distance driving whenever possible.
Do not participate in Club Sport events.
Avoid high engine speeds, especially when the engine is cold.

Just reporting what the book says…..don’t shoot the messenger.

As I've already received this picture by text I'm going to presume you're Bondy's mate! My CGTS arrives on Friday (although likely not collecting until first week of May due to holiday) - we will have to do a run over to Wales again some time in May or June. Looks great btw. Also having grown up there I can confirm that Wales has a mediterranean climate and the weather is always that beautiful......

Indeed! I have heard about the tragedy about you going on holiday the day you take delivery! sorry to hear that. Was a great weekend in mediterranean Wales! I have also seen a pic of your CGTS that will be in white... looks lovely. I am up for a run over to Wales again. Just please don't visit the village we were staying in - speak to Bondy. He can explain the village situation!

Nice car but what makes this worth over list, I know it's a good colour but how can a mass produced car be worth overs once second hand, or are they just chancing their arm on someone not being able to afford a GT4 and buying this instead?

I think with the cost of PTS that wouldn't be over list - I don't disagree it's expensive though.

Been for sale for a while. It was originally 77k IIRC

It's not over list and at 15 miles it's hardly second hand.

Mine was around the same price new with PTS but without PDK so if you want one of the last CGTS in a great colour, it's a bargain. 😃

Owner of similar car in defending value shocker!!!

Its very easy to get to £70K you really don't have to try very hard, my GTS Boxster listed at £78K mind you it did have rather a lot of boxes ticked.

A bit dusty and still only 700 miles in. Very impressed overall with the car and more than happy with my purchase.

100% the correct wheels and in the right colour They are actually quite practical to boot, brake dust doesn't show up that badly on them and they are very easy to clean.

They're also the lightest wheels, better for handling as it's unsprung weight....

Is there a list of wheel weights anywhere?

[Twinfan]

Not sure - I'm just going by what I was told...

A cynic might think they would rather not publish weights if it turned out that the cheapest wheels happened to be the lightest. That said even Caterham - who used to publish the weight of everything - including the paint - don't do it any more.

Not wheel but tyre weights I find this site useful to compare the weights of compatible tyres, I found it surprisingly hard to track this info down.
