I don't understand the fuss with that monogram paint. It looks SHITE.

I'm averaging 88mpg in my new Pristro. LITERALLY DOUBLE.

HAPPY WITH THAT.

How on earth do you wring 88 out of it. I'm averaging 58!

Pffft. By sticking a “Property of Coop dairies, please pass” sticker on it.

Anyway today I have been having a day of HELMSMANSHIP.

At Stuttgart’s expense (in Silverstone) earlier instead of usefully spending the morning learning the foibles of car on our drive, the dangle of 992 keys made me buckle. Luckily the wife spent the morning learning how to ring the neck of her Cayman, (most usefully a wiggle on the steering wheel once you feel the dreaded stop start quiver before shut down, kills the stop start - I wonder if this works on all e-pas vehicles?).

Incredibly* the neu 991 goes like stink and grips like Funf to a Buckie. One thing the instructor couldn’t repeat enough was the ability to stop in it’s own car length at 30, or half the time it took to reach any set speed. Launch control, up to 85, brakes hard on, stationary again =10 seconds. As part of the session I asked to gout on the B roads by Silverstone to actually see how it coped when not on a track specifically designed to flatter it. Better than the Cayman, but not massively so, for day to day motoring, the rear width of the bloody thing would piss you off too. So I’m glad I saved 30k there. The gearstick toggle thing feels cheap too. However the bucket list of thrashing no holds barred a brand spanking new 911 has been ticked off happily.

Footnote: With nearly 5k on the odometer, this will genuinely be an approved used Porsche in a months time 😉

He's no Araf. He would have BAYNED the 911.

It shows how good ESP has become that i couldn't bennie a widowmaker in 3 hours of spirited driving.
