tried it out a few times tonight, its bloody fantastic how simple it is to use, never did it in the M4 as was such a faff but this couldn't be easier.
Had my first proper drive pushing it tonight and it is absolutely epic, the speed you can go round corners is
sound of the engine higher up the rev range is amazing too, but does sound MUCH louder from outside the car than inside, it could definitely do with losing a bit of the sound deadening.Ghisallo

That is fantastic! Plenty of reading on the back too

Wow. There’s probably not a lot I’d choose over that! Health to enjoy!

Hopefully it’s nothing too serious!

Hopefully it's a simple fix.

Water pump is leaking and needs replaced Said it might be Monday/Tuesday before its fixed and I'm away on holiday on Tuesday and in the mean time I've been given a 520d as a courtesy car.....which seems a bit **** considering the money I've just shelled out for a 911 GTS that broke down 8 days later while under warranty. Am I being unreasonable to expect a Cayman/Boxster or something for the weekend?

I'd be hoping for an upgrade to your own Porsche for the weekend given the ballache.

Its from Enterprise but was arranged by Porsche - its still well within its original 3 year warranty as car is only about 14 months old.
See thats what some friends have said so I thought I was being quite reasonable asking for a Cayman or Boxster.

I was very much left with the impression that they thought I should be grateful for the 520 and that when I suggested a Cayman/Boxster that it was as if I had suggested something totally preposterous Perhaps if I actually bought it directly from them they would be more keen to look after me.

I know of the same thing happening to a family member and the courtesy car was one of their Macans, they maybe just didn't have any Porsche courtesy cars available at the time.

I would have been expecting another Porsche, even if it was a Macan/Cayenne/Panamera.
I wouldn't be too pleased being given a 5 series DIESEL! Poor show.
