The adaptive dampers are fantastic, the ride is nowhere near as harsh as I’d envisioned it would be.....even on crap bumpy local roads the lack of clearance in the wheel arch is seldom a problem - the car is very compliant.

My mate has 2 of these.
At full chat, I was trying to hold on for dear life, the engine noise was merely a small buzz in the back ground!
And he has two other Porsches that are louder and scarier.
0-60 in..... Well, it doesn't actually make it to 60. But I don't care, its yellow. That's the main thing.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Go on then, I'll bite.
What is that?
Tata Nano?
Official figures state 0-100kph in 32s

It's a gt3rs. You could order it in brown and not lose a penny from new.
A neighbour of my parents has one in Miami. Alongside these....

Almost stuck an order in for a grey one today. Waiting for the new S1 instead.....

Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
Ordered it in March

Relatively cheap and cheerful, but it certainly does the job. First car in 5 years. Lots of boot space for my guns and hiking gear.
I reckon the S1 will be pretty good but surely you’ll be talking about an extra £10k ?Almost stuck an order in for a grey one today. Waiting for the new S1 instead.....

Different league really.
New daily driver. It is an absolute beast.
Agree, probably nearer +15K.
Had quite a few motors, I do like the Up due to its size. Looked at the Polo Gti also..... Golf R was too big for what I want/need.
Is that a .2 or .1?New daily driver. It is an absolute beast.

Very nice, wish my Z4M would do what that did value wise!

ThanksZ4M are going in the right direction gradually and residuals are good, the 1M has plateaued and you can’t use them too much lol

Lots of 911s posted recently, so here is mine parked next to a colleague
.1 - .2 was over budget but I prefer the looks of the .1 anyway.
Stunning car, nearly bought one last car time and think it will end up being my next purchase!

I’ve only had it a few days but it is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend it! 😊
Looks awesome - I think the 1M is a true modern classic....

So over the summer, I pulled the grill out to swap to an RS - ready for a new intercooler and induction kit
then i'm going to remap and add new suspension
Abarth 595 Trofeo. Bought off my missus after I drove it and loved it. Bought her a Corsa instead.
Are they as firm as people say ? Very go-kart like I bet.
They are, but nowhere near as bad as my Mini Cooper I had before.
My JCW (F56) even with variable dampers was awfully firm. Combined with short wheelbase & poor seats had me aching after 30 mins of driving. M4 by comparison is just a joy comfort wise; did a 370 mike round trip this week & felt perfectly fresh at the end.

I always found the clutch to be un-necessarily heavy in them and there was an uncomfortable ridge around the top of the gear-knob.
F56 clutch was way better than the R56 which felt really heavy. Hadn’t noticed the ridge when driving but know exactly what you mean by it.

My wife has an R56 Cooper S (being replaced by something bigger shortly) and I have always found the clutch annoying - heavy with the biting point right at the top which makes for sometimes jerky progress. My daily 997 has a far more progressive clutch that I'm used to.

He has a Carrera GT, with its V10 engine, and basically no flywheel
and he has a 918 Weissach in the Martini livery
loud and fast is an understatement, the Carrera GT is the most intense.
and he has 7 other Porsches, including 2 GT3 RS
My Up GTi is now on 900 mile and its flipping brilliant.Almost stuck an order in for a grey one today. Waiting for the new S1 instead.....
If you need the power of 300hp, then don't buy it. Its not about tearing up the tarmac and chasing a Honda Civic or Golf R, it about having max fun and flinging it around.
It is so well made too, it honestly feels like a Golf inside. LED downlighting, heated seats, air con, heated mirrors, and besides my other car is a 400hp Porsche!
buy one! and wait 6 months plus for it to arrive ......
Quite a few members of the hair dressing fraternity in here I see, here's my tools of the trade :wink:

Cayman 981 GTS, manual. Had a 911 before, but I think this is a better drive.

I concur - I enjoy driving mine more than my previous R...although I will look forward to buying something faster further down the line again.
Now that’s the Rottweilers Dangly Bits with pate on em!!Cayman 981 GTS, manual. Had a 911 before, but I think this is a better drive.

I'm selling the manual 997.1 and buying an Exige
Up GTi as daily though.
So borgouise! What a pompous fool I am
And
That first pic is one of his garages, well it's a factory with a space for car worship. The other cars are amusingly spread around the place. I stayed with him in May and borrowed a bicycle to nip into the city centre, and found a limited edition Lava Orange 991.2 GT3 RS in the garage at the house.
"What's this?"
"Oh it's only for purchase if you buy a 918"
Another world!
This thread is not helping me..... I sold my fun car (Boxster) when kid number 1 came a long.
Since then we've had a number of Peugeot's as my brother inlaw works for them. We get a stonking deal and a new car every 9-12 months. Currenty we've got a 308 SW GT.
The missus has give approval for a new fun car......
Took this out a couple of weeks ago. I've driven the MK2 Cayman 981, and I'd take the R everytime. Perfect road car. Perfect.

Skoda Kodiaq. It seems to use power as a last resort & feels akin to riding a horse with elastic reins.
That made me laugh
