That’s the colour Kathleen had on the configurator the other day as she thought it was grey. When I pointed out that it was green she changed it to slate grey, which was very similar

In good light it does look grey tbh, hard to tell the difference but once the sun is off it it really shines it’s colour. Not sure I’d order it though, toss up between guards red and agate grey.

The green is nice I just wonder how it’d be resale time, would it end up a marmite colour. Won’t be red anyway if OH has her way, and you know how that normally goes . I like the Genitian Blue, Lava Orange, Racing Yellow and Python Green but out of them the only outside chance is the blue but even then it’s an outside chance

But then you’d chuffing hope so wouldn’t you…..
Joking apart, and in all seriousness, apart from some toys, and if you do some careful suspension tweaks, you’d have to really want a G29 to bother to change from a 35i / is.

We were trying to buy a holiday condo in Barbados, market was buoyant for selling, car was being used one shift in four for work, picking Lynn up and the occasional fun run. Lynn will happily go fast in a straight line, but not in the twisties.
Bought new three years ago, had a DD Corsa as I could not put 12,000 miles pa on the 718. Had £1200 of warranty work last year, warranty was up this year so I would have to have bought an extended warranty. That would be £60 pm, then the four year service next June at least £1200 so was looking at £2000 to keep her another year and get very little use from her. I'm a biker, bike goes out for fun if I'm solo, not car.
Purchase of property fell through and for various reasons we have decided to leave it, probably till retirement. So had the cash from the Porsche sitting in the bank and was fed up driving the corsa.
Realised with, hopefully, only a couple of years till retirement could now get away with running just one car. No point going back to a Porsche as Lynn simply does not like being a passenger for that type of driving. Saw a G29 Z4 and really liked it and realised it was a far better fit for what we wanted. Bonus is servicing is far less expensive than the Porsche and fuel economy when sitting in Comfort mode going to work is as good as the Corsa.
Sorry, but you did ask!
