I am putting the spec together for a new panamera.

I can't justify buying bigger alloys as its already too expensive but I will get a set of ebay at some point. Is there anything important I have missed?

I hope those wheels look better in real life! I can't imagine not spending an extra 2% to get some decent wheels.
They look crap but I will put winter tyres on them, I have a set of Turbo 2 alloys which I will put on the car
Soldato
Thank goodness for that! The spares will useful for winters. What's the second car that you were looking at?
Soldato
Why the hybrid? Just curious! Seems an odd choice.
Business tex benefits, he mentioned in another post somewhere

Might be getting mixed up with someone else on here but don't you already own like 3 porsches, including a panarmera.

Anymore GT3/2 owners. Would love to see some more pics... I love the way the tyres look on these cars!
Cayenne but thats for a friend we wanted to order together to get a better deal.
As Simon said, basically we have a big tax bill coming and at the moment we have a Panamera D. I can sell the Panamera D for £45k and put the money towards this, I will save my self £25k in income tax so the cost of the upgrade will be very small and I am going to get the spec I want.
I have sold the 911 and replaced it with a Z4 while I save up for the new 991, I am also going to sale the 335i when the summer comes along and try and get a good 991 or a V10 R8.

Thinking about taking part in one of those Porsch Experience Days over at Silverstone.
Have any of you taken part in this. If so what cars did you drive and how would you rate the overall experience?

I did half a day I think. I would definitely recommend it. Not as balls out as a palmer motorsport day.
I drove a C2S but you can arrange a GT day or turbo day etc. for more cost. Think I arranged 2 sessions and went on all the tracks there.
It was all good but the kick plate and the drifting track stood out as something a tad different and really enjoyable.
Its also an eye opening experience when one of the instructors took me round the tracks! The food was also pretty nice.

If its being rebuilt proper, it should not have lost any. Mine is now nearly 10 years old and 50,000 miles, makes in the region of 375-385BHP, though its got a few bolt-on mods.
Did you put facelift rear lights on it?
Yup freshened the rear end up a treat.
It's weather like this, cold, wet and damp that really makes the 911 shine, the traction and ability to cover ground so quick with so much interaction is mind blowing. Absolutely mine still!

Nice.
I've seen theyre offering a GT day (GT3 and GT2) for £400. Could be interesting!

I've been looking at Palmersport day for a few weeks, someone should try and organise an OcUK outing again with a nice discount

Done Palmer Sport some years ago. Was a great day... Far from cheap I suspect. I think it was around £700 for the entire day!
