Re: Power steering plus

Don't have it on mine, got used to it pretty quickly. Wouldn't spec it if I was ordering a new one today.

Re: How Do You Drive Your Macan?

How do I drive my Macan? Well, today I was having such good fun I forgot I had the gearbox in manual hold setting and I bounced the revs off the limiter by accident coming out of a lovely apex and the car cut injection to save the engine from the idiot in the driving seat :lol: Hopefully that answer...

Re: Price increase

I sent my spec last week and he was putting that on the system - only thing missing is heated GT steering wheel. If it means that I leave as is to secure the lower price, then that's what I will do, because that would make it a very expensive upgrade. I already have an invoice, with an order number...

Re: VED

The 'Luxury Car Tax' is currently £410 on top of whatever the yearly VED is, for the first 5 years from the second year the car is taxed (so 6 years as you say.) About £2.2k 'On the road' price sounds about right. £390 extra fist 5 renewals. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables Oh! They've ac...

Re: Reminding myself...

Some good recommendations from Joe Achilles here: https://youtu.be/U3AWgexKjJE?si=hSzRm7368lAUY4M5 I watched this video when it came out, but never got around to doing any. Thanks to you reminding me, I drove the first route he recommended today (both ways) and popped to the Roastery he suggested f...

Re: New GTS - 3 months from order to collection

Lovely car and spec. Is that Hatfield OPC? When I was there last there was a lovely Dakar sat where your car is now!

Re: Reminding myself...

Same engine and output aren’t they?? I imagine you both needed to back down when you got to 70mph… 😂😂😂 Yeh same engine, I don't know what difference the gearbox introduces. I think I just got a better run up - I think the RS4 expected to walk into the distance but we were neck and neck! Neck and ne...

Re: Is the Macan GTS the perfect one car garage?

Never mind the car - check the gaff! That's a beautiful property. Anyway, it's the perfect 1 car garage for me. Perfect blend of performance, practicality, GT-ability. I love it. Originally I wanted an RS4, but the thought of scraping the bottom of the car when we go mountain biking in the Highlands...

Re: Reminding myself...

There is nothing more fun than reeling in a hot hatch on a decent country road and seeing the surprised look on there faces as the are unable to get away … especially Golf Rs and Audi S3’s and I’m a lowly MY 23 S on 20’ wheels! I got into a rolling drag race* with a RS4 on a lovely open, straight a...
