So, Henry - hows the display of mileages affected things..?

[Henry-F]

We have been very busy indeed (sold 10 cars the other week !!), so much so we are now desperate for stock and probably 10-15 cars down at the moment. I think it surprised a few people who just assumed that because we didn`t put the mileage in adverts all our cars had intergalactic numbers on the speedo. Definitely a good decision and in hindsight something we should have done years ago.

The problem is I didn`t (and still don`t) want to become a slave to the odometer because on older cars that just isn`t an indication of a car`s condition / how much work it`s done. But yes, a good move so thanks for kicking me up the arse enough to to it everyone

Enjoy the sunshine - Henry

Newsflash: Porsche cease production of the hugely successful Cayenne model.

Said Wendelin Wiedeking: "This guy Paracetemol kept on going on about it on Pistonheads and finally ground me down"

When asked what will be done with the spare production capacity, the CEO replied: "We will be bringing out a range of lawnmowers and possibly kettles and coffee makers"

[Henry-F]

That`s not true, they are bringing out a range of lightweight narrow rather ugly plastic city cars that run of electricity.

Selling out at just under £7,000 each a spokesman for the company said, "these things are profit on a stick. Our marketing manager in the UK Geoff Turrel still had his Grandad`s light blue invalid car in the garage, we cast some rough moulds off it and Fritz is your uncle. You guys are lapping them up and we`re laughing all the way to the bank, err... I mean happy to put something back into the environment."

Porsche have apparently sent mayor ken livingstone a voucher for a lifetime`s supply of fine German beer and have offered him use of the company`s mega yacht in the Caribbean, "without his input we`d never have persuaded people to buy this shit but thanks to his brainwashing we can`t sell enough of them."

All is not lost with the Cayenne project as they are now being made under licence in China where the power-plant has been replaced with a crude 5 litre V8 with catalytic converters and fuel injection removed in favour of simple fixed jet carbs. The Chinese manufacturers were quoted as saying, "they don`t half throw some shit out of the back but are cheap as noodles to produce and go like f*ck. We`ve had to triple the size of the fuel tanks because they seem to use loads of petrol but we`re not too bothered about that".

Or how about one that's

1) dumped the 4x4 gubbins that no one really needs or uses (apart from Henry!) and save 300kg and therefore improve handling and save money.

2)An aluminium body (like wot Porsche used in 1978!) that saves another 300kg and further improves handling.

3) Then use a smaller normally aspirated engine that can now run more effieciently.

4)Improve the interior packaging

5)and get someone to design it that isnt visually impared.

I have no problem with Porsche trying to build a vehilce that appeals to buyers who now have a family- but the Cayenne aint it (I should fit the profile but find it an abomination!) and to prove the point that its marketing hype over substance they are now venturing onto the bandwagon Hybrid technology....doh! Anyway, it all soon be over after the Govt introduce the various levies on high poluting cars

[joscal]

I was totally anti Cayenne until Porsche lent me a new model V6. Absolutely brilliant car and not as thirsty as you would think. Very impressive!

[Ir Baboon]

I had one for a couple of days, fantastic car, just not my cuppa. As for consumption, I couldnt get over 20mpg, on the M4 with CC set to 70 leptons
