I dislike wheel locks. If I parked in public areas of questionable neighborhoods, sure. But I don't and I was glad to be able to not have them. I just removed them from my Cayman, where it was standard equipment.
Waking up this morning and reading your story in bed with all the pictures was a blast! Thanks. And amazing radius. That picture with 1043km left while 75% full was amazing. You should have than filled it again for that 1350km picture. I honestly don’t think that will be easy to recreate. I thought mine was already good. Will now try to do my best to beat that. But you really need to make a picture otherwise it doesn’t count
I do advice you to check the alignment though. Even if you don’t want it changed, standard it’s always off a bit compared to what Porsche wants. So you don’t have to change it. On the other hand if you change it you can always change it back easily. I assume you did not have time to go to Apeldoorn? Too bad we couldn’t meet. Maybe next time.
If you look to the left, in the display, there is also the driven distance up to that point (260 km). With what I drove the day before, after filling up, it came together to ~1350km.
This 90 Liter Tank is a godsend for me, as I don’t like to stop or fill up before reaching my destination.
Also, I really am “particular” about fuel (spec and origin). It’s >100 RON or nothing.
Thus, stoping on the highway was not quite an option for me. Plus, the lost time!😅😂 Another quirk.
There were a series of circumstances that prevented a lot of things that I would also have wanted. Like meeting you and your T, checking that alignment, etc.🤷♂️
But there is always “another time”, so maybe we can meet at the Ring or somewhere else.
The way the setup is now, is a very good and safe setup for the road, even OK for fast driving.
If I would use it more on the track, I would make a few adjustments for a more livelier rear, more oversteer, it’s too planted as it is.
I did full leather and lizard. I will be taking delivery next week. I wish they would have stitched the steering wheel and gear shift cover.
I actually prefer it not stitched as it would be distracting, if you want colour there add steering surround in leather, that comes with lizard stitching and looks great, that is what I have done
Man. So sorry to hear about wife. I recently learned that I have a condition where I could die any minute. Trying to live to the fullest! Have u thought about auctioning your T?

Yea I'm definitely on the fence with wheel locks. I'm more worried about getting the car keyed or fked with than getting the wheels stolen.

Making progress on config. I think this is pretty darn close to where I'm gonna land.
The trick is the car is measuring the odo meter from the last tank. It’s not the same as resetting the computer values. So basically what you need to do is first reset the values on the dash meters (for your own measuring). Then fill it partly (!) with gas when half empty. Cause that will reset the odo meter. Then drive as economical as you can untill the odo meter is maximized. Then fill it up completely.
This is almost "cheating" It means that is enough to drive "economically" for 50-60 km and show the 1300+ on the full tank
I just drive, but make sure to start with a full tank. Usually long road trips, like this one to Zandvoort. And add whatever is indicated with the driven distance.
I was getting near 6,x l/100 km but I have reached Harlem and the traffic slowed down to just stop and go, in the rain. No chance.

But I mean when we all try to drive economical for some miles the values should be a bit the same. But you see it differs more than you would expect.
If I would use your method, I would first drive the car warm (the mpg is abysmal for the first 10-20 km), after 50 or so km I would start "hypermiling" for 100-200 km (a trip to Netherlands would be perfect for this, flat terrain and 100 km/h speed limit) and then get out and fill up to full.
Good luck with the sale, and the other important things in your life. I would suggest BaT over Cars & Bids. But it could take several weeks or more to get it listed. Pcar Market is another, but also less subscribers than BaT.

Admittedly I drive economical when I am forced by the Stasi and their cameras
Otherwise, I like to drive enthusiastically, within the limit. By Boxster was great, 992 with MT is very good. Life is too short for economy runs
