£40k and 43k miles!seems a lot of high milers coming to the market , dick Lovett have 2 with high miles with wrong wheels and £43k each !market is all over the place Anything with less than 10k miles got to be worth £45k+ now
It is inc vat - make sure you tell them you're a Porsche GB member to get discount off the parts and don't accept the first price they give you. My (albeit limited) experience is your local OPC will do the best to keep you.
Be good to meet up again and will be interested to experience the difference the bits make. I'm trying to sort a date to meet with a mate who has just bought a CGT, be great to get a photo of our two with the CGT. I'll let you know.
Got PSE and short shift - is it just the throttle response that makes you love it? Is it that noticeable when it's switched on versus not?

My road tax run out on 30/11 so it went on sorn for the first time in nearly 3 years as I don't use much over winter what with the weather,Xmas and holiday in the sun some time after!my garage is well built and damp free but I still gave it a wash dried the brakes and covered up. In the last 11 years of porsche ownership and leaving a car unstarted for up to 8 weeks + on a regular basis never had a problem starting!also I run the petrol down until the range is about 30 miles (couple of gallons)leave the handbrake off and roll the car couple of feet back or forwards every couple of weeks .before I moved my other cars just sat outside covered with no problems.
Get it used! I drove it at minus 10 once - roof down, hat on, it was epic!ORIGINAL: philnotts How do you hibernate her? or he? [

] I saw a gritter out three weeks ago near Cambridge on the A428, I reckon they did not use much last year so they have more than enough to get rid of this year. Crazy[&:]
cars don't like not being used, things seeze up, seals dry out, fuel tanks can corrode, some say fill it up and add a Fuel Stabilizer , petrol helps the tanks. pump tyres upto 65psi# but imo nothing better than a 20 mile run out every few weeks. also cylinders start to rust !!!! just like your brake disks which you can see to quote on the fuel. as some one stated "also I run the petrol down" !!!! "Fill the fuel tank with fresh, premium fuel. Condensation in the tank is a problem in stored vehicles, and it is widely suggested that you fill the tank completely with Premium non-alcohol fuel in order to avoid any empty space where water can accumulate"
+1 from me. I can't really say it's easy to justify spending the £600, but I had it retro fitted, and would I do it again? Yes I would. It's just "smoke and mirrors" but somehow it just makes the car feel more alert.
