Oh, what a surprise.... Yet another doom, gloom and pending disaster story from Zerohedge!

I am a huge fan of free speech, and each to their own as to where you choose to get your news from, but to misquote Tyler Durden - “the first rule about Zerohedge should be that no-one ever talks about, reads, or takes seriously anything Zerohedge ever says.…”

Feel free to read it here then Jon.

Porsche Taycan Goes up in Flames in Florida Garage

It was spectacular and scary, but here's a friendly reminder that gasoline-powered cars also catch fire.

Porsche also makes annoyingly good cars. I'm using a Cayman 718 for a couple of weeks. 4-cyl 2.5l thing. It sounds like an air-cooled Beetle and is a big laggy, but it's brilliantly made, handles like a dream, is really comfortable and very well equipped. It's a good thing I'm not really a Porsche fan or I'd be seriously tempted with one of those 911 Targas or something else without a roof.

A new model car catching fire wouldn't put me off (remember the GT3s..?) Mind you, drama and bias just annoy me anyway.

And 458, wrong type of glue. Huracan, plastics too close to the exhaust. Ford Explorers going bang in an accident, apparently even a Zafira will burn you alive if you use the heater.

I really like the look of the latest Cayman. It’s a massive improvement on the look of the original horrible thing when it first came out.
Never driven one but by all accounts it’s the best handling Porsche of the lot.
Dicky had a beauty -GT4 recently.

Honestly, it's bloody good. But the new Boxster as well is a cr@cker. In 3l 6-cyl form they go like a rocket and sound great as well.

I just object to the overly emotive, biased, often inaccurate, and unjustified inferences that zerohedge reports as news when in fact they are the opinion of some random people on Twitter....

Should this be cut & paste to the Brexit thread ;)

I love the look of the Cayman, the GT4 is twice as much though, and some piece of kit.
I didn’t particularly like the look of the 987, usual problem of not knowing its front from its back. The 981 however, 2012-16, is pretty, has a 6 cyl engine and is a cracking car. 718 as @Felonious Crud says is a capable but houses an asthmatic 4 pot.

Bill Gates seems pretty smitten with his new Taycan. And he really is the man that can have anything.

His newly commissioned yacht looks plug-ugly, but technically impressive.

A bit like most Microsoft products, perhaps.
