    Not much worse than an S13... my daughter is quite happy in the back of that (3)!

    As in it looks a lot easier to fit a child seat in there than in a Vanquish

    Then it seems it is your turn to run the IMS RMS bore scoring gauntlet

    Best colour, best wheels.

    So jel.

    Am I right in thinking you've also caught it right at the bottom of the notorious 911 value curve? Keep it clean and you could be on to a winner!

    Thanks guys - I'm really pleased with it



    So I decided to test the practicality - went away this weekend; camping in a fairly humongous tent


    Packed up with room to spare:




    All set up:



    And managed a couple of rubbish snaps of the car down by the river before anyone else got there:





    Needs another clean now

    Got round to solving my air conditioning crisis - it had given out on me.

    Turns out one of the old condensers wasn't quite air tight any more.




    New one in place and just look at all the guff that fell out the bottom when taking it all apart.





    Replaced the two of them whilst I was there despite the other side having already been replaced at some point in the past. My first big bill as a Porsche owner. A whole £180. Ouchy ouchy eh.



    And a quick snap of it up at Helmingham Hall a couple of weeks back




    And next time it gets a good clean - it'll be getting extra special treatment

    Looking good.

    Still enjoying the drive? Does it have a sports exhaust, and if not are you considering one, the boxer 6 sounds superb with one

    Yeah still enjoying it. It's great. Be even better now I'm not sweating my nads off

    No it hasn't got the PSE. It's on stock cans which to be honest are very tame. One of the back boxes has a small split in it on the seam which is quite common, so I'm toying with the idea of a set of Dansk cans which are effectively a stock replacement but sound a little louder as they're stainless steel. Thing is, I really like the quiet life these days so I want to hear one before I make the choice and live to regret it

    Yep I have a HKS Silent on the S14a, I think the sound quality is more important than just the noise itself.

    That was fitted too, and gassed up.

    These would last too if Porsche hadn't decided to put a plastic ram air scoop to them without a mesh of some sort stopping the leaves and horrible stuff from clinging. Going to have to have front bumper off every year or so to clean out
