fat haggis Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Welcome to the 981 club. And cruise is s great addition to have mate. Big market in retrofitting cruise. Any pics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Cruise keeps me out of trouble, so easy to be way above the limits before you know it and a godsend on these bl***y smart motorways. Tis Sutton Coldfield, gets its name from a cool damp area by the park, alone Monmouth drive. Enjoy your car?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMA Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Nice looking car 15 hours ago, Spinjim said: Had to be a manual, didn’t like the PDK (wife had one on the Audi and I do get it) I have the one in the Audi and I can safely say the PDK in a Porsche is far superior to the S-Tronic in the Audi. They are very different to drive to say they are the same basic design., not even closely comparable when driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking car, looking forward to more pictures when you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Looks good - congratulations on the new car. I have S Tronic in my Audi and PDK - suits both cars well, but for sure the PDK is more immediate and theatrical.. My 1965 Triumph has a 4sp Overdrive box, so I'm spoilt for options...

Spinjim Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Collected today ??? its different from my old 987, very grown up so to speak and has a nice exhaust note. Handling is very composed. Sad to see my old 987 it had done two Europe tours and lots of days out but it needed money spending on it, the suspension was worn and the exhaust needed work and the lip on the brake discs was worrisome ? and it’s got a lot of radwelld in it ? wife as ever not bothered ?
