patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ooooooooooooooo. He should immediately drop all other work and tell us what it is (and then thank people for making him look at a new one, obviously. ). Work? Oh, yes, I remember....

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow. That looks rather spiffing! I love those seats. They're very sporty indeed. I am now very interested in hearing what lead time they've given you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Work? Oh, yes, I remember....

cruiser647 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I see. Presume it deflates the same way? (or when the air is sucked out of it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks! I see. Presume it deflates the same way? (or when the air is sucked out of it.) Yes, it does. I have one in the 911. As standard, the Cayenne comes with a can of gunk, but I'd hate to have to rely on that when towing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now very interested in hearing what lead time they've given you? The seats are fantastic, and a major part of the choice of a GTS over other models. That and the fact it goes like stink and corners like a Porsche should and a 4x4 shouldn't. Should arrive sometime in the summer, touch wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 That's very nice indeed. Looks lovely in that red. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 The red is just gorgeous. Now imagine a red Caterham on a trailer behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 IS that the V6 or V8 diesel or petrol? Presume diesel for the towing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Petrol V6 turbo. 440hp, 600Nm from 1600-5000 rpm. Should be adequate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There's a used one just like that at Wilmslow. You could have saved thousands. (Etc. etc. ) That's got a tad more paddock presence than a green Disco...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 There's a used one just like that at Wilmslow. Investigations were made as to the feasibility of trucking it down to Reading for me to look at it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thank god you didn't buy that white monstrosity that started this thread. Must be a thing with racing drivers, does Plato still have his Cayenne? Looks lovely anyway, I'm sure it'll make the Disco feel positively agricultural. Oh, and Ha Ha to all you f*ckwits who said suggesting a newer one was ridiculous, stick that up your arse! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Oh, and Ha Ha to all you f*ckwits who said suggesting a newer one was ridiculous, stick that up your arse!

patently Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Oh, and Ha Ha to all you f*ckwits who said suggesting a newer one was ridiculous, stick that up your arse! Ahem. Without wanting to spark that particular row all over again, my impression was that their point was that I had come here to ask for views on the pros and cons of buying an older prestige car, and that it wasn't especially helpful or informative to just suggest buying a new one. I have sympathy for that view; I was indeed already aware of the possibility of buying a new one and equally aware that newer ones are often nicer and better. It wasn't a possibility that I benefitted from having my attention drawn to... What helped me overcome my initial unwillingness to buy new was Booster's help in suggesting a finance structure that was more suited to my situation and Mrs P's concerns, not the pointer that new ones are nicer Although they are much nicer, it has to be said 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 That looks fab it will be great and plenty of fun to drive around. I just need the price of a Macan to fall through the floor and I'd be happy to get one, but I can't see that happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit different to a Cayman. Stick with the two seater fun to begin with and get her arm twisted further up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
