Lonewolfgjp Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think it looks like a decent motor, I would certainly view it if I was in the market. I prefer the sound and in some degree the look of the 981 Spyder even though the 718 is supposed to be the better car👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzfox Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's cheaper because none of the Porsche crests point at the valve stems and two of the locking wheel nuts are in the wrong position - aaaaaaarrrrhhhhhh my Porsche OCD is screaming, I can't look 😫😖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Finally a bite! It is in the summer, but Oct-April it's probably the same, just warmer.

Most mornings his first words are usually "does it EVER stop raining in this country". Needless to say the first reply is usually "well fek off back home then" How long does your summer last then, ours is usually about 4-5 days only this year it was in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Summer's generally May-Oct but after living here 20 years I don't really notice. I get up, get on the train to work, sit in the aircon'd office, get on the train back and go home. My wife can tell you all about the weather each year but I don't notice it much. The country's long so like the UK it can be quite nice in the south - and notably drier - but cold and wet in the north. If he's from the south he'll really hate Ireland. What I do notice though (after having spent a couple of winters in Moscow) is that sunshine can be very cheering - and lack of it can be very depressing. Even if it's not actually raining. I've heard of Spanish and Portuguese that had to leave the UK/IRL because of that, it was too oppressive for them. Anyway, it's almost likely the roof would go up in our summers if for more than 20 minutes as getting frazzled in 39C isn't particularly good for my obviously Viking skin.

MH82 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Silver, grey or red for me please. Year after next I think. Need to get the monies worth out of the 991 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I saw a really nice 991.2 for similar money and was considering whether I could go down to 2 cars again instead of 3. Can't see me needing a daily in the same way as I did before all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
