If you find one, how do you disable the passenger airbag on the R? I might be wrong but I was sure someone told me the standard seats with isofix detect a kids chair and disable the airbag. I don't have kids (hence I have the Porsche) but I'm wondering now.... my 6 month olf goddaughter may turn out to be a petrolhead. Her dad is.
Thinking back to the olden days when my pair were still that small - placing a towel or something between the seat and the alcantara is a must. I bet all of you have popped the seat on the floor either just before putting it in or taking it out of the car... scratchy plastic and alcantara dont mix.
and some of the bigger seats like a recaro start are quite heavy and can crush the pile on alcantara.

Looks like a nice Peridot car has been recently listed (if you are after a pdk). Apologies if it’s old news but I only spotted it this evening.

Not old news, it was on the 2 post lift being prepped for sale when I was at Jasmine last week. I tried really hard not to look at it too much, and confessed that if I was in the market for a "weekend play-thing", that would probably be it. Although trying hard not to look at it, I think probably a very nice one from a cursory glance or 2. I'll now try really hard not to check how much they want for it!https://jasmine-porschalink.co.uk/vehicle/2011-por...

[Fortunately once I had been relieved of the cost of genuine Porsche disc and pad replacement for my 981 GT4 I felt suitably less flush, which helped my lack of pursuit. I just sneaked a look at the listing, and luckily it's PDK, which is lovely, but somehow not for me.]

R out of hibernation, MOT completed this week and will be taxed 1st April.
Not used much last year (300 miles) and don't think it will be getting used much this year, possibly will be up for sale in a few months if not seeing the time to get out on the road with it.
Anyone else just getting theirs out of the garage for the "better" weather.................underside photo
for a change when up on the ramp.

Shame its PDK and not a fan of the clear real lenses but otherwise looks pretty cool to me 
I was sat waiting to jump onto the boat back home to the Isle of Man a few months back and there was a Peridot 997 Turbo S cab sat waiting in the queue. No pictures unfortunately but I had a quick chat with the chap sat in it. Turns out he has owned it from new, it was supplied by Jackson’s on Jersey. I think it had 7K miles up
. It was done as a PTS car, it even had green contrast stitching on the black leather. The chap reckoned it is the only one Porsche ever did in that colour. Not to my taste but it was a fine looking thing. Apparently he has moved to the Isle of Man so I might get to see it again.
