.....to see if it is still there.
As someone who, for nearly 50 years, has enjoyed working on, cleaning and generally mucking about with automotive products, I had an alarming reality check recently.
In 14 months of ownership and 20k plus miles I have never seen the engine on my 981. Should I be worried?
To be fair, it has been up on ramps and is obviously fully serviced, but unless something specific happens I realise that I depend totally on electronic systems and external visual checks for everything. Going to Sainsbury’s or south of France, makes no difference. No preparation, just find key, credit card, phone and go.
Is this the new norm? - Drive the Porsche and fix the other heaps on the drive.
Anyway, a new Christmas game for all the family; count how many tools are needed, and how many pieces of bodywork and trim are removed to see the top of a 981 engine. Much better than hunt the thimble. Happy Christmas!
