Been lucky the last few times we've been out, cars haven't parked right next to us.

Car has been brilliant, very comfortable in Normal mode and then turns into beast in Sport mode. Only complaint is the exhaust is too quiet.

Looking good. :)

There are modification options, if you want the exhaust to sound a bit more fruity. :twisted:

;) well, got to cut you some slack then, if you're still young enough to work! Mind you could you get away with putting the business name on the Macan and claiming the fuel against tax/expenses? :D

The tax benefit in kind bill precludes claiming. Even 1 litre of fuel for private use will incur a £5k charge. Only EV’s get the tax breaks today.

I have thought about cutting the back boxes open, modding them and then welding them back up, but don't want to give Porsche any excuses if I have a problem with the car while it's it warranty.

The wife only turned 41 last week and I'm 43 in a couple of months, MANY years of work ahead unfortunately.

Well done on having a Porsche then, take a tip from someone 50% older, don't work all the hours God sends, take some time to "smell the roses" or, indeed, drive the Macan, get the mortgage paid off and get retired or even part time asap

I've slowed down a bit, only do about 55 hours a week now. Not sure I'll ever fully retire unless I win the lotto, I'd be bored or the wife will kill me for just being in the way.
