Doing a general reset ahead of a big drive.

What are the optimal operating temperatures for oil and water that you guys see?

My car’s coolant runs very cool, even on warm days, unless stuck in traffic.
I pay more attention to the oil temperature gauge. This sits at the first mark up the scale when up to temperature. Out yesterday and it took 20 miles and about 35 mins to reach this temp, however it was about 10 degrees outside, it’s obviously much quicker to warm up in warm weather. The car isn’t driven over 3000rpm until up to temperature; the book recommends a limit of 4000rpm. It usually sits idling for 5-10mins before setting off just to get some heat in the system.
Hope this helps.

Registered in 2007, built at least 2 years earlier so probably 2004 while still tooled up.

I mean, IDGAF, but that ad is a hilarious "F you" to the GDPR rules and regs.

Not only but I think the story does have some other curious statements. How can you forget convincing Ferrari to build you an extra car CS and then forgetting you have a CS? Somehow that seems odd.

That was good to watch. Thanks for posting!
Many good arguments for each and I agree with most but if I had 3 keys in-front of me and a good twisty road ahead, I would pick the CS key every time.

At $455k with 7 days to go. Lots of chat about the USA market moving upwards on the back of this sale.

Not sure about that, it is a non-red very low mileage car. Strong price though without a doubt. I remember chat about the CS following the F40 trajectory, maybe not quite with the same heights, but I can certainly see it going a lot further for collector grade cars

I want to replace the 15 year old single din head unit (that replaced the original Becker unit) with a single din unit that can allow me to use Carplay and Android auto. Any suggestions that are readily avaialble in the UK? Many thanks!

the Porsche Classic radio (don't know about Android Auto) could be an option or more precisely whoever produces it without the Porsche branding
