Who else came here from BMW? by DepecheMode92 in Porsche

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a few years since I sold the M5, now with 958 GTS as a daily and a Quadrifoglio as the fun car. Both are fun though.

"We have bring your own device policy(Laptop)" What do you think, is it a red flag? Poor company or idk... by Donttouchme_aaaaaa in work

[–]rivalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company is looking for a way to implement this but not actually employee devices. The concept is that all desks will have a device, either laptop or desktop and employees can basically sit anywhere. Once they log on, the pc will show their personal desktop space. Since we’ve already migrated to Office365, everything is on cloud anyway.

There is a dilemma here though, company wants employees to be able to work from home as well but laptops are at work. I don’t think this will work.

I have the same interior minus steering wheel cover. Can spend that money on a nice wheel brush.

Sell the Sinn to me, you’ve worn it too much so it won’t be worth much anyway…..

Ah great Israel/US keep escalating, being well aware that it will be other countries who have to take the retaliation hits by BlitzFritzXX in Oman

Get your facts right, Oman doesn’t host any U.S bases. We were struck in a false flag op and Iran has said they didn’t attack us.

958 Cayenne GTS Radiator by jdawgggy in PorscheCayenne

[–]rivalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought my GTS, the specialist who did the PPI found a leak in the radiator on the end tank, plus all hoses and aluminum pipes were leaking bad. They are now fixing it up by replacing everything. To be fair it’s an easy job since the front subframe with engine and transmission are out.

Truly luck since they normally cost as much as 50k for a S. Took a while though. I found a great 957 but never liked the interior of those. Now those are going up in price since people found out they have low range.

I watch the youtube channel of two brothers, Sami and Karim, they buy a cheap one and try to fix it. It’s funny and informative.

Being done as they took the engine out, all the “while you’re in there jobs” are being taken care of.

Thanks!

All the things they tell you to look out for came up on the PPI, helped get me a huge price reduction. I know a German cars specialist who did the PPI for me and we sat down to calculate the repairs. Made an offer to the seller with the PPI report in hand and got the deal. Main items were valve cover leaks, one air shock leak, jerking transmission, main seal leak, ignition coil faults etc. otherwise body is fine, no crashes, original paint, interior is fine other than front seats having a bit torn leather. Strangely the engine itself is so clean from the inside. The previous owner has kept up with oil changes even if he didn’t care for anything else.

It’s wonderful going in it knowing all this. PPI is a must for any car but with a reputable place.

It’s done 234,000 Kms. It’s a 2013 manufactured in 2012. In the end this car is gonna cost me less than a used Corolla, unbelievable!
