What happened to the recommendation that was banded around about using Millers oils?

Im not sure a single datapoint could be counted as a 'discover' but good that you have no issues.

I went with your recommendation, stick with the Porsche approved oil, because like you said why change the oil when my engine is clearly not suffering any scoring.

So whereas it might be recommended by specialist who might be getting marketing interest/kickbacks from Millers it is clearly apparent the Mobil One is doing my engine no harm at all. :)

Im looking at a SY 997.1 tomorrow, if I buy it it will be going for a "scoredborescope" straight away.

Just not sure I can pull off the attention a SY 911 would get :D How do you find it Gibbo?

Fine m8, it gets attention but not bad or over crazy to be honest. People tend to ask how old is it, what is it worth, yeah I know cheeky buggers or just the comment wow nice car, particular if they get to see inside as mine has a very custom interior as the 1st owner went mental on the options list. :)

It simply suits the car and SY 997.1 cars are holding a vast premium over other colours, as very rare. :)

I have no doubt it will look better in the flesh. Got any pics of your interior?

I'm torn between a 997.1 C2S or a return to an E92 M3, this time a DCT.

I loved my Cayman S, not so keen on the 996 C4S I had. I hated my CSL on the road. I'm expecting this to be nearly as raw as the CSL.

Be interesting to see how this pans out.

Raw compared to CSL, depends on spec. I found the CSL always felt raw even when cruising. The C2S on the other hand when cruising feels far better than the CSL much better comfort, more torque, great sound system, heated sports seats, it's a far better tourer than CSL.

When you want to drive spirited or track work the C2S is very close, does the split personality way better than the CSL ever did. CSL is like a 996 GT3, there quite average as a road car, good for a blast and excel on track. A 997.1 C2S is a superb road car, the best car I have ever driven on a blast on some country roads, nothing comes close for me and on track it might not have the pace of CSL though there is practically nothing in it times wise, but feedback and fun the 911 owns the CSL. I know considering I owned a CSL and now own both an M3 and 911. :)

If I had the money I'd actually turn the 911 into the full blown track car, it would not necessarily be the quicker car but as a fun weekend car or fun factor on track the 911 is in a different league.

Today I did actually think if getting rid of it is such a good idea as I absolutely love the drive and looks and quality wise I've got one of the cleanest unique 911's out there. :)

E92 M3 all about the engine and DCT, superb. But handling, feel and fun factor as a drivers car the 911 owns it.
 
Very nice! It’s looking like it’s a very limited availability in the UK. I’ve read that they are looking like around 150 cars are coming to the UK.
 
Opinions please, I've been umming and arring about this since I bought the car, now I am talking about the subject of door stills.

I've had the following quotes from my OPC:

Carbon fitted inc £1462.20
Stainless Steel fitted inc £850.20

However, I don't know which ones would be better. I held off to being with as I couldn't make my mind up or do I stick with the standard ones?
 
I know its going to make zero difference to the resale value. I'm still very much undecided on both, I am at the dealers in a few weeks for some warranty work so ill have a look on the other cars. Its purely a aesthetics items rather than anything function at the moment its just plastic.

Are you having a laugh? :eek:

Please don't spend that sort of money on a couple of plates that you barely see!

It's also notable that you posted a picture not of your own car. You'd have thought if you were always looking at them you would have bothered to take your own picture.

I've been thinking about it yes.

I'll grab a picture of mine in the morning, as the iPhone isn't too clever in the dark. I just used that picture as a example.
