I fired up the Griff on the Le Mans ferry and it was idling all over the place. I turned it off and tried again (the Microsoft fix!) and it idled very low and lumpy so I killed it again.

Then I realised that due to the angle of the ramp the boxster in front had its exhuast up my air filter (fnarr fnarr).
Waited for it to pull off (fnarr) and then I got going as per usual.

Just thought I'd share that. Bloody Porsches causing havoc again!

Well I can claim revenge for you - I went down as a passenger in an S and while we were waiting to disembark at Portsmouth the Boxster driver behind asked us to turn off the engine because the exhaust was too loud for him and the fumes were making him choke.

The only 2 broken downs we saw were 2 Porkers both Boxsters.......no one likes to see that

We took 18 Tivs down (virtually the entire model range including a T350C) and none of the cars missed a beat.

Oh and of course the Typhon got rear ended by a Porker prior to the drivers parade. Its amazing how they get everywhere !

And I picked off at least half a dozen porkers on the run back to Caen. They were all pussying along waving their handbags around !
