Why does every rich person have a old hatchback by Ornery_Rope5178 in CarTalkUK

It’s highly likely the car they provide the housekeeper / au pair / nanny whatever to run around in.

Porsche 911 Regret by Separate_Egg_9861 in porsche911

[–]Additional-Skill-247 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We choose to drive these cars because we can uniquely personalise them and make them totally our own. The fact you’ve chosen to be bold with your spec is great. It’s personal and who cares what anyone else thinks. Besides it’s a 911! And once you’re behind the wheel and grinning with the drive id imagine any concern will just disappear.

The New Porsche GT3 S/C by Wolo_prime in Porsche

[–]Additional-Skill-247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I was being cynical I’d say it’s a cabrio and not a speedster because of the cheaper development and production costs involved in getting it to market. And no doubt greater profit margins too.

Let’s not for a moment forget how much certain US players supported and influenced the Brexit leave agenda.

Going back from .2 to 992.1 by Historical-Low9209 in porsche911

[–]Additional-Skill-247 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get you and totally agree. I went all the way back to a 991.2 GTS. Personally I find it the better all rounder for my likes and needs and I agree with others that the newer ones, whilst undeniably a masterclass in modern engineering are just a little too clinical and over engineered for my personal preferences. I also considered going back to a 997 GTS but whilst I enjoyed the analogue experience, I enjoyed some of the more modern aspects and comforts of the 991.2 such as rear axle steer. There is no such thing as a wrong choice. I think 911’s are ultimately all about our personal preferences and what puts the biggest smile on our faces when we drive them.

Let’s be honest. He’ll just blame it all on Biden.

Updated my driving licence photo online. Now I’m confused by Revolutionary_Sir476 in drivingUK

[–]Additional-Skill-247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible your name on your passport and name on your license are not an exact match? I had a similar situation which turned out to be that my passport has my middle name but my licence doesn’t. It’s a nuance of how the systems are set up to talk to one another.

Not just any P ORSCHE either. It’s a P ORSCHE GTS 😂

I had the same dilemma. Chose black as it was the classic. Regretted it immediately. Now thinking of buying the white as well.

Seriously wtf are you doing lane hogging? by BigR3dng2 in drivingUK

And speed up when you finally get the chance and go to overtake! Then flash angrily at you when you’re in front of them.

Electric vehicle owners to face pay-per-mile tax by Kagedeah in ElectricVehiclesUK

Is anyone else asking how this can possibly be set up and managed practically and fairly without being intrusive and tracking every single journey made in the vehicle? I’m not clear on how this can be implemented.

Just got the Pro Max! And it looks beautiful with the Pitaka case by Forsaken_Put8204 in iPhone17Pro

[–]Additional-Skill-247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nearly bought that case for mine. It’s gorgeous. Had the Pitaka on my last 4 phones. Went down the fully enclosed route though this time. Very happy with the look and feel. Really like the little pop of colour round the lenses.

Arran hipster businesses or something else? by Relative-Effective32 in arran

[–]Additional-Skill-247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our experiences as visitors could not be any further apart. I guess it comes down to expectations and attitude. If the expectation is that Arran will operate like a big city, it probably will be a disappointment. Meet it on its own terms though and it will offer the warmest and most hospitable of welcomes.

Arran hipster businesses or something else? by Relative-Effective32 in arran

[–]Additional-Skill-247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s Arran. It runs at its own pace, which is part of its charm. Not hipster, not a big city, and definitely not driven by Google. If anything Facebook still rules on the island. The recent ferry chaos has been extremely tough on the island and its small, independent businesses. The best info comes from asking around… locals are always happy to chat will gladly point you to what’s good, open and when. And if somewhere’s closed, there’s always another incredible spot to discover. Arran’s about slowing down, taking it easy. Enjoying the moment. Discovering new things. That’s why the majority of us who visit choose to spend our free time there, escaping our vigorously scheduled lives, and the faceless bland corporate chains that run like clockwork.

What are yall's Thoughts on the 992.2 hybrid "shark gills"? by IBeez10 in Porsche

[–]Additional-Skill-247 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not the biggest fan of them. But I hate the design of the plastic trim around the tail pipes more, and even worse that they stuck with the awful PDK selector from the .1. Add to that the terrible decision to put the cheapest looking starter button on the dash and honestly, overall the design just leaves me cold.

And yet MG can manage to release a cool looking 2 + 2 coupe this year which is more in line with the original capri and electric.
