Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Merci!

Was just about to post a Citroën c1, too slow. Can't help with plates tho

No worries.

If it helps, this is the refreshed version which has only been on the road for ~2 years which might narrow it down a bit.

Ha. No worries. I spent the day on the parts washer.

Awesome paint or not, that golf is massively overpriced.

Perfect. And it's different from similar 107's and Aygo's?

Yup. Definitely a C1.

Great. I'll spend my weekend hunting friendly Poles in a council estate north of Copenhagen then!

The 911 had a date in Sussex:

Whilst I went and looked at trains:

This is now surplus to requirements:

Cruise and computer retrofit?

Cruise and computer retrofit?

Computer, it already had cruise.

BMW 2007-2010 were affected and most came in for re-programming to prevent it.
Have not heard of later models being taken like that yet but maybe the scrotes have upped their game again.

Fill up the washer fluid... testers can be cunts.

But they're just doing their job.<

You would be surprised how bad some things have to be to actually fail them but at the same time any air freshener hanging from the mirror is a fail but is just removed and passed so you get a fail and a pass certificate together :D #testerbutnotacunt,sometimescalledonethough

Wheel off, three stalk unit removed, wiring loom extended, four stalk unit fitted, software recoded to accept stalk, wheel back on.

Grown used to having the data (fuel economy, distance to empty etc, average speed etc etc) in the Volvo and wanted it in the Porsche.

25mpg, or as the Porsche puts it 11.4 litres per 100k

You know you can change that rite?

The fuel economy?

Or the imperial vs metric thing?

In which case apparently I can't as this car has a South African computer.

But if you know how, please do say.

It's in the SET bit in UK cars, bit odd if you can't do it on SA...

You can change the speed reading between miles and Km, but not the other figs

Odd indeed. You'd have thought the whole point of having a switchable computer is so you only need one for all markets. Maybe some local law there prohibits it, otherwise I can't see why they'd disable the function.

Well, looks like I've lost one of the keys to the 911. Hugely annoying.

@Hefty, where's the best place to get a replacement - Porsche for a million pounds, or is there another option?

Also annoyed that there's a key to my car out there somewhere.

There is the most rep'd post ever.

Porsche only I think.

Ask for a discount, they'll often give you 10% or so just for asking, or saying you're in the Porsche Club. At least they will in the provinces dunno about London, I hear people are grumpy down there.

I used to get 20-30% when I was spending a few thousand a month with my local OPC, which I guess is standard stuff so if you're nice to your local specialist they might be able to do you a deal.
