OMG is right. It's been persisting down. Here's one from 5 mins ago - a wet-look to get you going. Is it obvious that we have sodium street lights?

if its helps clear a space for the GTS I'll drink the champers and the Becks!



I cant believe you are sheltering some aging MB in preference to your shiny new GTS! find some local Burberry clad Chavs and give them the keys to the Merc and a can of petrol - insurance job done!

There, fixed it for you.

Reuben, where's your car?

OMG & I are having lots of fun in ours and you're missing out. Here's my Grigio with OMG's Mexico. As we drove off in convoy, him in front, his got all the looks and mine just faded into the background. Mexico is stunning and I'm sure you'll be happy with yours.

Your cars look amazing and thank you for the words of encouragement

As of 1230 UTC the ship is almost at Puerto Rico and due to arrive at the Panama Canal on 19 Jan. I'll be taking a page out of Larry's book and keeping an eye on the canal webcam

Puf, Thank you very much for breakfast this morning. I look forward to buying you one back soon.

Now lets get one thing straight. Your car looks f***ing amazing. Grigio Campovolo is an amazing colour, but I'm still not sure what the colour is, but it is amazing. I never saw you fade away, you turned right.

I have noticed there seems to be something about flat non metallic colours that really makes them pop out at you. Metallic paint gives the illusion of depth to the paint, flat is the opposite, no depth.

Reuben, you car is coming. Its easy for me to say that....I've already done 1500 miles and had an oil and filter change. But I can assure you by the time you have done 15 miles in your car you will know it was worth all the waiting....

I own a 2016 Porsche GTS I have 1400 miles so haven't completely opened it up .That being said though I have driven aggressively and the GTS went 110 mph around a turn that had a speed sign of 45 mph with no body roll no tires squalling complete control to say the least . Also I wanted to test how hard the car pushes in the upper speed zone it pulls hard at 120 130 140 150 160 to around 170 I top 180 and still had some left . Very stable front end I do have the sport design ducktail package . That being said there is always faster but with a sacrifice as always I wanted a sharp handling car first then fast . Not how fast can we go down the straight line .That being said the 2016 GTS rwd pdk is awesome and not because I own one just is

It is an awesome machine 2016gts911, but the limits at which your are pushing are pretty extreme especially if on public roads.

Have you had a session on the Porsche Experience track at Silverstone or Atlanta (I guess you're UK or USA) - if not, I thoughly recommend. Lots of room to expore at the limit, with a pro-instructor next to you and plenty of safe run-off area, no on-coming vehilces, no pedestrians and no police (and they loan you a GTS so no wear & tear to your vehicle).

Anyway, glad you're enjoying it.
