Re: your User Name - why?

In my late teens I dreamed about traveling and experiencing life around the globe. I moved many times until I found my permanent home in Spain, but I have not stopped traveling.

I took better advantage on the return trip through the mud pools 8-)
The headlights could not even shine through the mud!

Porsche Experience off road in Catalunya

Porsche ran a fantastic event dedicated to the off road experience for all the family. Probably it is not such a big deal in the UK, but here in Spain with the meager rainfall we get, this is the first time in over a year that my Macan got a thorough mud drenching. I was shocked to be the only Carmi...

Re: GTS sport pack and carbon gear lever

I missed out in adding the carbon gear knob before lockdown. I was so disappointed with the standard shifter, that I got a carbon cover on AliExpress. I am happy with the result, and way cheaper than Porsche prices.

Re: Porsche 911 Dakar Special

Macan GTS head on against 911 Dakar in the dirt. Pretty decent show by the Macan, and handily outgunning the Taycan.

Re: Detailing and washing your Macan

I did PPF of the console. For me this was one of the must-have detailing upgrades. I only wanted the center console and not the screen, but they did both anyway. I decided the screen was also better with the matte. I love the look, and it is so much easier to maintain. I cannot see any signs of the ...

Today it seems to be staying longer. It is an intermittent issue that so far I have not been able to show to the O...
