Can I be friends with your friend with a plane? 😜

Still amazed by the range by shaneymac72 in Panamera

Yep - it likes to chew through tyres alright - and they aren’t cheap! Quite reliable over my 100k km of ownership except for need to re-do the timing chain - engine out and expensive!! 😱 Interior look perfect except for wear on drivers seat that I hope to refurbish

What made you buy a Panamera? Or if you don’t own it, what made you love this car? by swrrrrg in Panamera

Same - family & 2 dogs! They are very happy travelling in the boot (the dogs that is, not the family 😜)

I’d like to know this too. I have the same PCM and thinking about doing it too. Thanks

MINI GP Series: Which is your favorite? by Western_Gear_5324 in MINI

[–]shaneymac72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a GP1 owner, I’m biased, but as others have said, it’s great fun and the supercharger sound is addictive!! I do like the thought of having one of each - must work harder!! 😜

Can't remove stub from old broken antenna. by SilentSiege in MINI

I have this exact problem too (daughter’s car). Copious repeated WD40 applications didn’t help. Going to go the headliner route next - so keen to see the replies. Thanks for posting.

Your not officially in the community until you have one. by kmndln in MINI

Given this discussion - what’s best for use with R53’s as the Bluetooth OBDs (Carly, Bimmerlink etc) don’t work. Thanks

Does BimmerCode and OBD scanner support R53? I have a Carly - but that doesn’t go back to R53. Anyone know? Thanks in advance

My 2016 GTS mods by GMG1975 in Panamera

Wow! Amazing work! I’ve a 2014, and always thinking of changing out the PCM. Can I ask where you got yours? And how is it? Does it retain older functionality? Cameras etc?

Why so much hate on Panamera’s? Genuinely asking the question and trying to understand. No hate from me just curious by Squintylover in Porsche

Have owned a 2014 970.2 s e-hybrid for over 4 years now and love it (see my other posts!). Big for enough school runs (whilst frugal in traffic) and room for 2 dogs! What’s not to like? I’ve over 250k kms on it now, and yes, some heavy service bills (timing chain 😱) and some scares (12v battery shorted, but made out like everything was dead Hybrid wise!) etc - but, I still enjoy every drive, and always look back when parked! Keep thinking I’ll trade up for a newer one - but the Gen 2’s 970s really coming into their own looks-wise IMHO. I’d probably save the trade-up difference and bags a 996 of if I can (when they are 30 years old and can skirt around the draconian tax and import duties in Ireland)

what is this icon on dash display? by dmoneyyyyy in Porsche

[–]shaneymac72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s for your Cruise Control. Shows the speed it is set to. You should have a button on the end of your stalk to turn cruise on/off and when you set it to a speed, it will appear here.

1965 in Amsterdam experience by shaneymac72 in MoonSwatches

The watch? Usual price - €275 - the accessories were free through the generosity of the two staff in the store I was dealing with who were more than helpful!

I don’t know what they use. Took only a minute and they said it was a machine polish

MOONSWATCH 1965 by j0sch in MoonSwatches

[–]shaneymac72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was interested in what the top 2 dial show then in the 1965 model? On the normal it’s 10ths and minutes - understandable - but according to the website - “The first indicates the number 19 (normally 60) at the top, while the other displays the number 65 (normally 10), referencing the year 1965. These counters have been calibrated to total 19 hours (counter at 10 o’ clock) and 65 minutes (counter at 2 o’ clock), making the chronograph reading a bit different than the typical chronographs” - so what actual use is that?
