tazzieman Posted 18March, 2014 Report Share Posted 18March, 2014 Geepers how much power are we seeking ? Ice + posterior flammage would be an interesting combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 18March, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 18March, 2014 I'd just like to round it out to a nice lazy 375kw. That seems like a good number. Yeah Russ, dry ice. Unless it's a picnic day of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 10April, 2014 Report Share Posted 10April, 2014 Hey Uncle have you seen a white Gemballa Cayenne getting around your neck of the woods? I saw it a couple of weeks ago dropping into Westy from the top roundabout, was going very slow with the hazards on, flat tyre or in limp mode maybe, it has black wheels and black Gemballa script on the side, first time I have ever seen one.

Uncle Posted 24April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 24April, 2014 So after driving this thing for the last two weeks as a daily while my wife had my Hilux to do what a wife who can build stuff will do. I've had somewhat of an epiphany. Whilst I do still really miss my old car and the joys old cars can bring, I think I've been talking down in my head just how damn good this car is. Call it a rebound relationship if you will. Cars are a tool for me. They give me the power to move quickly though the landscape in a manor that I enjoy. Now after a few weeks I can see what I'd been missing before. I'd let romance get in the way of the truth. While this car might be a little slower than my 911 turbo in a straight line it is in the harsh light of day a better car. Next steps. A wheel alignment. No matter how I drive once pushed it wants to understeer first. That's not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 1May, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 1May, 2014 So I gave my wife the car the other week to take the mother-in-law out to lunch. She came home with a huge grin saying it's a bit fast but it's awesome. Last night she dropped an easy "So when can I drive your car next" whilst we ate dinner. Oh dear...
