Hello,
I'm new here and to Porsche ownership.
I did a bit of reading on 911uk and the general consensus is to join tipec and not the Porsche owners club :)

Are the East Midlands guys meeting this month?

Oh, this is what I got for Christmas...

Hope to do some road trips, can't wait to get up to a Scotland!

Thanks.
Yer, I love it! The power delivery, noise and traction really stand out.
My back is killing me however so need to get a better position or a small lumber support

Have you got the 8 way seats? You might just need to play with it a bit. Mine has got the adjustable lumbar supports which do come in handy on the long Euro Trips :)

No lumbar on mine, I think a small cushion will do the the trick.
Done a couple of hours today and it was better...
