The good morning thread

[zagatoes30]

Morning all, off to Dublin for a breakfast meeting with the MD should be fun.

Might squeeze a bite to eat this evening with colleagues before the trip back, ever cloud...

Morning early birds and what a busy lot we are can't believe its Thursday already.
Stay Safe all.

Morning all, grandson had a sleepover last night and is entertaining us all at the moment. Working our way to Gerrards Cross later for another meeting with the parish council over the nuances of rigging a cable way so it both works and has sufficient sag without hitting the ground in the middle. I strongly suspect someone keeps fiddling with it! Last time I was there I put paint markers on it so I should be able to tell today. Later meeting the SM rabble at Ace

Have fun all…

Morning all from Gatwick North Terminal. The advice to get here 2 1/2 hours early was pointless as I sailed straight through. Mind you I have no luggage (unless you include my laptop bag).
Now have to wait almost 3 hours for my flight!

A day ahead at Inter Solar in Munich awaits!
And 7 meetings!

Thank you for your business.

Good morning all, quiet day today I hope...Ace later (RIBS!)...IBS tomorrow...

A very good morning to all. Working from home today which is always good on a Friday. Have a meeting with a customer in Monmouth at 10:00 which will be about 30 mins then the days my own. Today will also be deciding do a get a company car now they have added a load of electric to the list. Doing 80 miles a day and looking into the cost savings it seems to make sense. Why do I feel the need to say sorry

 

[philw696]

Good Morning everyone and yes we're nearly into the weekend.
@Andyk company car for work and a QPV for pleasure maybe.
Recently driven a few hybrids and they are a hoot when both motors kick in.

Full electric for me Phil….Narrowed it down to the Polestar 2 or the KIA EV6.

Good Morning Andy, Phil and everyone to follow.

The ACe was good last night, not many other cars but many SMers. As always, great for the soul to chat sh!t with old friends and stare at some metal (carbon and plastic too!) The ribs were particularly nice too.

Hi all, agree Ace was ace last night with two bulls, a Jalapa and Phil’s new colour coordinated weapon, a lovely classic Fiat and other stuf. The usual smothering of Fiat 500 variants were only represented by a single offering of silver windows and stupid camber.

ToDay will involve repairing some cricket nets in Hackney amongst other jobs.

Have fun all…

Morning all back to WFH normality and even better with it being a Poets day, should be done by 13:00

Polestar, Andy. The thinking man's electrical vee-hickle. With your commute it makes sense. Just don't assume that any journey longer than your daily commute won't be a mammoth pain in the bollox. Just make sure it comes with a 'no children were involved in mining the rare materials required to make this car' guarantee.

Morning, all. Stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff today. Including, I hope, fixing a small stone chip in the one part of my front bumper that doesn't have PPF. It'd be a right pock-marked, gnarly old ******* were it not for the PPF.

Morning. Feel very slow this morning, and not looking forward to the drive home, but there we are. I think I've managed to get two traffic tickets between the hotel and the office (total proper distance 0.5 miles Actual distance 3.0) which may be some kind of record.

Bring on the weekend!

Made a spur-of-the-moment 911 purchase yesterday, sight unseen. So today will involve a retrospective HPI check, arranging a Post Purchase Inspection, and working out how to collect it.

Fingers crossed its not a stolen write-off with outstanding finance and a knackered engine!

992?

I keep looking at our local dealers stock, can’t afford anything but if the lottery came in a C2 vert is what I’d buy. Sounds dull but I don’t think there’s anything more usable around.

 

[Ewan]

Alas no - there’d be nowhere near enough jeopardy in a 992 purchase!
I’ve bought a 997 cab. Plan is for it be a summer runabout for my wife when she doesn’t want to be in her usual E-Tron.

997.2 or have you gone for the full balls in the mincer 997.1?

Morning all from Munich Airport. Flight was cancelled at 1am last night by Easy Jet leaving a plan E load to find accommodation (for a few hours at least) and then a flight home (next Easy Jet flight is 10.55pm on Saturday night).
Thus far I’m £750 (and counting) out of pocket (£200 for the he hotel and £550 for a Lufthansa flight back to Heathrow).
Their customer service is a joke!

I’ve then got to get to Gatwick to pick up my car!

 

[Ewan]

997.1 so in terms of reliability, I’ll need to wear my brave pants!

 

[Oneball]

My mate had a 997.1 for years, apart from coil packs and a leaky plastic vapour seal in the door nothing went wrong. And he sold it for 2k more than he paid.

 

[philw696]

Can't fault my 987.1 Boxster S perfect here in France.
