So far so good, thank Rob, but I’m still getting used to it after 9 years of driving a Zed.
And what I’m saving in Oil, I’m spending on fuel now, PVR !!

They are easier cars to live with, Mrs PVR loves the Porsche suspension compared to the Z and long distance driving is far less tiring.
You save on the road tax though so that makes the fuel “cheaper”

I to have to admit a tinkering with the dark side , but the Zed is still here, as sunny days it’s the Zed that gets the nod more often
But as others have said the Porsche is a easier ride

For me, the Golf gets the most attention. Then the 911 but mostly from those that really know their Porsche and recognise the 50th. The X5M gets attention abroad as they hardly exist there

That looks like a great trip out - even if you have both gone to the dark side!
But every cloud as they say - I bought Darren's Aero sills.
