Default does anyone work for porche?

because my mates just bought one of these and fuck me does it shift like shit off of a shovel

but it's got loads of buttons that we can't work out the meaning off, including the sos button on the foor panel, is it for when you breakdown or when you need to call the police?

and i think we broke the air suspension too as it goes up and down front first then back, rather than all at the same time

only thing it's not got is a telly, but the rest of the options are all ticked

oh yes, before you ask, it cost him £130 to fill it up on sunday

Its Porsche you goon. And the suspension works like that....

have you found the airline that you can inflate the tyres with using the compressor from the Air suspension... cool that is

These are going for silly silly prices now. amazing value...

Tell your mate to read the handbook by the way

Cool cars. Polly x on here has a lovely one.

Faster than a E46 M3 around Bedford when EVO tested one... MADNESS!

the handbook is in southampton, a bit of a trek when most of the stuff he wants to know about is in there

i've got loads of pics of it too, but i refrained from taking video of it moving as it's is just obscenly quick to 30 mph

it's got a bit of initially lag from the get go from standstill, but when it's on song, that red line at 6200 gets bounced like nothing i've been in before

he said it was comfortably curising at 140+ on the way back from the ring and only the fact that he needed to be economoical stopped him from maxing it out

still, if he's got the money, i don't see why he shouldn't be showing off

The SOS button is if any of the airbags are deployed or if any of the pre-tensioners are fired from the seat belts, the Porsche accident centre will automatically call the integrated sim which is installed in your car. If after three attempts, the call isn't picked up by you, then they will call the emergency services to come out to you, being able to distinguish exactly where you are by your GPS system. Or it can be used if you are in trouble, press and hold the button for 3 seconds and it will automatically connect you to the Porsche accident centre.

well, it's parked outside my house, in my driveway, and one of the pics has my mate in it talking to the wife (discussing babies as his mrs is dropping 3 weeks before mine and he's the practical sort) and i've got interiour pics too

and one of the sos button

besides, i'm sure i put up pics of it when he first bought it...

i can imagine what one of them engines would be like in a regular porche, if it can fly like that in 2.5 tons it's going to be properly stupidly fast in something half the weight

and imagine sticking one of them in a focus

I can vouch for the FACT that they are flying machines. Tracked mine loadsa times and there is nothing better than 4 wheel drifting a 2.5 hunk of German pig iron.

Being 4x4 and high up also helps as you can take the corners a bit more "as the crow flies" too.

They eat fuel and kill tyres on a track though and a set of 275/40 x 20's aint cheap.

I love it.
