  7. The underdeck tank holds 120l.
    I'm just finishing installing a slightly newer tech but more powerful(222HP) engine, which will bring the fuel consumption down to @1.25l/NM @25kns cruising speed, and @3.5l/NM @45kns.

    I don't carry fuel to it, I go through our local Morrisons petrol station with it on it's trailer and climb in the boat with the hose.

  8. I also have a GR Yaris. Great for my local Devon lanes and road trips to places like Wales and Scotland, especially in winter.

  9. Don't think I'd fit in the seats, stunning car , I was in porsche belfast recently for a time wasting look about, I brought the wife to kick me in the nuts if I looked likely to use my credit card.
     
  10. yes the buckets are snug but having driving a non cs and cs back to back i thought i may as well go for the undiluted version. its got ceramics too which are pretty impressive

  11. Those G9s look great in the flesh, small & squat with big fat rear tyres and hunched rear quarters.

    I can imagine they are an absolute hoot to drive.

  13. How long do they think the disks last? I'd dread to think how much they are to replace.
    Oh and yea i agree if you can get the best. The cs looks amazing, I was just looking at them on the Interweb thingy.
     
  14. I fancied this if anyone wants to fund it. 20240426_154858.jpg

  15. Got to love a Porsche. My first performance car was a 911 … a 991.2 Carrera T

    2b7c1b5c-0570-438b-ae3f-504e3fb8ee54.jpeg

    Cracking car but I was bit by the “bigger, better, upgrade” and traded up to a 997.2 GT3 … Mezger engine, hydraulic steering, blah, blah, blah ;-)

    It was brilliant on track but ultimately frustrating on our rural Devon roads where I drive most so I moved it on and bought another Carrera T, with PCCBs this time which are amazing. This is my “do-it-all” car … local early morning blasts, trips to car meets with the dog in the back, overseas tours, track days, supermarket runs, trips into town … it does the lot. Perfect blend of power, poise and price to be the consummate all-rounder. Love it :)

  16. Awesome choice sir, I’m loving mine.

    After months of research, the GTS is the absolute sweet spot in the range, it does it all.

  18. They say the two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy and the day you sell, also that it's a hole in the water you throw money into.

  19. Cheap old porker

    More garage queen than daily driver. Looking at changing daily car at the mo, choices are 240i or JCW both chop tops
    Was also looking at older M3 (it’s a minefield knowing what’s what!) or M2 or X3 35d
