Guess I'll have to ditch the Bilstein PSS10's and put the original SUV ride height Munroe's back on. So hard to keep up with these fads.

Harry's great.

He's a mix of Alain de Cadenet and James May without the Top Gear buffoonery.

Seeing a 911 (even a Dakar) sliding around that muddy mess makes me cringe though...

His views on EV ownership and experience are fantastic. He's very progressive and has personally undertaken a bunch of green initiatives for a long time at his farm, but some of the frustrations dealing with moderns Evs are well articulated by him.

I tried to order one but I was too late and now apparently they are worth almost half a million dollars. It was questionable even at msrp which I thought was aggressive on Porsche's part. I guess they are looking for someone to export them down south. It's interesting to see the factory dealer playing the 27km 1 owner used car game. I was tempted to offer them msrp but they already don't like me.

Prices are just nuts right now. Recent auction numbers at Goodings last month are amazing. Here are a couple that blew my mind..these are USD, and a bit better spec cars than mine but am still gobsmacked as I would never pay these prices.

The 992 GT3RS are still bringing good money.

Here's another Canadian one aside from the other one that sold in AZ.

That's why the Carerra T is such good value for the money, unless you're a track junkie the GT3 and RS are poser cars.

I'd be happy just having the fields he is playing on.
