Dropped off at GVE in Uxbridge for full Xpel PPF, wheels, glass and interior protection and ceramic. Will post more on how the PPF has gone when I pick up in the PPF thread. The Emira doesn’t look at all out of place in this company !

Lovely. Remind me which bit is the black and which the DV ?

Another few weeks and few hundred miles and I still “only” have two issues - wipers and no DAB. Paint on my DV looking ok so far. Going in for detailing and full PPF next week so will report back what the experts say. In terms of commentary above on respays etc I tend to agree that any...

If you ever drove one you won’t care about the piped engine noise ! They are epic

No

Kind of

I don’t think an owner can check. The dealer has plug in to the car. I have check all the car menus and nothing about software.

I use Bilt Hammer’s Auto-QD ! Works a treat on my other cars. Not used yet on my DV as going in for PPF next week.

No idea. Doesn’t make rational sense. But we are talking the world of insurance here ! 🤷‍♂️

Good advice. Thx. So far I have had good experience including them adding cars and giving long introductory NCB. But I will watch out !

Love that Porsche green. Big fan of green 911s. I have DV and it is sometimes v dark but a lot of time it’s not. I also quite like the chat with people saying “what colour is that ?” ! If you do change colour with a wrap be careful on insurance. Can increase premium and some insurers won’t...

Have you tried a multicar policy to cover them all with one insurer ? It’s a bit of pain getting started but I have saved a lot once set up. I’m with Admiral FYI.

We may have to organize a meet !

What a gent !👍🏻

I think that was the smoking tyres review and he got it badly wrong. The suspension components are different - spring rates for one. So you need to decide when confirming order. Yes you can swap tyres but that isn’t the whole story. You will get many views on the merits of both on here...

Lovely colour ! Congrats ! I also saw another DV with silver wheels on Ledborough Lane today - shout if anyone on here ! We should do a Heart and Magpies meet or something ? 🧐

Great to pop round earlier ! Magma looking great ! 👌

Ain’t no doubt the porker looks plain in this company. In isolation still a great looking car but getting on a bit of course since 2015. And there are so many around so rarity is surely a huge plus for the Emira. But the DAB radio and wipers work in the 911 ! 😉

I can’t. It never stops raining !

Agree with a lot of that. I was moving cars around and thought I’d take those snaps partly for colour comparison (agate is a well know porker colour to many) and partly for the curves and design comparison. The 911 cab has always had a fat arse TBH but that was a compromise I was prepared to...

Fully agree DV is a chameleon ! Can really change on angle and light for sure. And that is a good thing ! Personally I like Agate Grey on that car. Wouldn’t have it on a GT car but kinda suits the cab IMO.

DV next to 991.1 GTS cab in Agate Grey. Cloudy/overcast. So DV looking menacing ?

That is definitely not right !

Agree. At the factory handover Scott said exactly that. There are wires in there as well as the release. Note also that on the demo car it was a black plastic pull cord (looked a bit like a cable tie) not red per the diagram in the manual.

Many thanks. Will try those tips 👍🏻

Will do a video. New to find my suction phone mount to pop phone on side window. Might be a job for the weekend.

Done a few hundred more miles including 175 miles up and down the M40 yesterday and first refueling. Couple of thoughts; Over revving - it’s seriously annoying. I would like to take a ride in a few other Emiras and see if the same in all manuals. There really is no way to avoid it and it...

Hi ! Will do !

Magma Emira lives just around the corner from me and my DV in HP9. If you are on here then let me know. You drove past my house seconds after I put my DV away. Considered chasing you down the street but thought that might border on uncool. Plus I didn’t have the right shoes on.

Interesting 🧐 I don’t with google maps for sure. One query - using wireless Apple Car Play or Wired ?

I’m definitely going to pay all those bolts some attention !

I have never timed the 0-60 in any performance car I have owned. To get anywhere near the quoted times in most cars you have to practically abuse the car IMO. So I leave it journos and influencers and just enjoy my cars. So far the Emira hasn’t disappointed on driver engagement including...

Snap on sometimes difficulty to engage reverse. Scott mentioned this at factory pick up and it is easily resolved by pumping the clutch twice and going back and forwards between 3rd and 4th. Was disconcerting first time but now I am used to it, it doesn’t bother me. My seatbelts have been fine...

Agree fully on 1 - the steering wheel is pants ! Disagree on 2 - the ride on my touring is amazing. Soaks up crap UK roads and goes round corners really nicely !
