Really an EV is essentially a white good/tool not different to a powerdrill or washing machine. Good in some ways, I think we need a bold manufacturer to make an EV purely as a "white good" no lifestyle nonsense, status or even branded, no personality, purely a cut down A to B device viewed no differently to a USB cable. A communist EV!

They do sell super fast, not sure if they restrict the numbers too as it was a bit mental the first few events.

Don't bother, they went on sale yesterday and are now sold out.......

VW cuts EV production: EV debate thread
World Citizen replied to fat fuchs's topic in Impact Bumping
Just reading a EV report, sorry it's not for sharing but a few key points that made me go 😳 Global EV's now is low 20's% of vehicle sales, Norway highest, nearly 100% Only taken 10yrs for China to capture 40ish% of EV automotive market BYD can now take a EV from planning to market in 13 months China now have entered a new era of 'dark factories' ie no lights, air con, fully automated factories Western automotive companies have some catch up to do! -
Update, My mate drilled them out and put an M4 thread in place. It appears Porsche really wanted you to buy the whole unit

Higher Eurotunnel charges for our cars
World Citizen replied to Ian Comerford's topic in Impact Bumping
I prefer the tunnel, find it very easy Had a supper trippy 😵💫 euro tunnel experience once After driving from Maranello in +14hrs on my own, I fell asleep 😴 after being almost the last car to park up on the train Awoke from my deep slumber to the sight of what looked like, a long, bright corridor to the after life 😳 Then, phew, I realised I wasn't dead but all the cars in front of me had driven off the train 🤣 -

It is good. I often use the ferry to Dunkirk and it's a good rest. You can often turn up at Dover with under half an hour to go before departure and they will run you straight on. Last time I was 5 minutes late for check in at Eurotunnel it was a 5-hour wait to get another train. That said, I was potentially going to Maastricht and Hamburg this week and it would have been tunnel - 5 day cheap return at £220. -
Enjoyed this and hope to be in the area later this year

Yep, will be out in 2 years

Doing so reduces your sentence

Thanks for that , yes was aware its actually a 188bhp MY80. It is a nice colour combo and it was nice to get Ai to write the history summary , something I had been meaning to do myself for ages but never got round to it.

P.p.s To answer you question you can't buy a certificate or letter of origin from porsche anymore that i would know off..both of these documents would provide specification at time of production. However despite this I have found the porsche GB customer services in reading to be exceptional. I was able to obtain a letter on headed paper providing the full specification. It was basically the same as a certificate of authenticity but without the certificate title. Good luck with the brown headliner I'm sure someone somewhere will be able to replicate it. Reach out to Lakewell, Gerry at Classic FX, Dave the trimmer, Canford classics, etc Besides southbound they are all highly experienced with porsche 911 interiors

Restoration looking great. Nice work and funky colour combo P.s just to make sure we are all talking the same language your AI picked it up correctly its a 1980 Model year which was built in 1979. DVLA consider it to be a 1979 but Porsche consider it to be a 1980. It's a fairly common conversation it was built between September 1979 and December 31st 1979. The detail will only matter when your looking at specification on something or need a part number and you don't have it and the 1979 is different to 1980 For reference my 79 vin is 911930XXXX

I am also thinking m4 but equally can't be sure. I'm 95 percent it's m4 and 5 percent it's m5. Them screws on those tailights always break off I've only ever had a couple out in my lifetime and i generally only break 1 bolt or machine screw per 1 to 2 years. I can nearly always get things out intact.
-
Only from dull memorty , but think the screws are M4 .Could well be wrong but they are small diameter.Theres is a video here, gives a look inside, although don`t like his method cutting the capative nuts.

I presume this is now ok to discuss seeing as he's been found guilty? Put me back on the naughty step if for some reason we can't....he has been found guilty so unlikely to have grounds to sue! Bob Malton Porsche dealer jailed for defrauding customers of £1.5m - BBC News

Yes, going to Neckarsulm & Stuttgart with the 924 OC and using the Dover / Calais ferry. Its been about 25 years since I last used a cross channel ferry so will be interesting to see if its ok or feels frustratingly slow compared to the tunnel. There is no rush to be anywhere at a certain time so think it will be fine.

No, I lose 😥 Eurotunnel is ouchy expensive now, dog costs £90/return before adding on cost of rabies jab, travel paperwork, pet passport pills etc Would be cheaper to have a dog put to sleep and buy a new puppy 🐶 each trip but family aren't keen on that idea!
