Can't be nice having to go back in, I have just got my mum out of hospital last week after spending 80 days at the LGI and hoping that we don't need to go back apart from as an outpatient

pass on my best wishes

Cheers guy's i will pass on all of your good wishes
Fingers crossed for your mum too Nick.

cheers

Think she will be fine now, just got to let the wound from the ankle infection that nearly killed her to heal up over the next few months

Scary.
Sorry to Op for the thread diversion
Back on track now.

never been in a panamera, stood next to one in a car park though, I didn't mind the shape and i don't think ugly when i see one driving around either

The Panamera's looks divide opinion. I think it's possibly the ugliest car on sale at present, others quite like it. Having sat in one I think the interior gives you the best view of the exterior (provided there are no shop windows nearby). There seems to be consensus that it is a very competent car. I had a Cayenne S on order before I got the RRS and probably wouldn't consider Porsche again for quite a long time. The official Porsche Centre I used would make a Stratstones look like LPR (sorry for the comparison James) but I guess that may be site specific. The biggest difference between an RRS and the Porsche is that if you want anything beyond 4 tyres and 4 seats in the Porsche it will be an extra.

All I can say is epic car!

All the ones I have work on are awesome and have even drove one around goodwood. Suprisingly well around a track too! Always clean.

I have seen one parked in York station short stay a few times - always has a parking ticket on it

The owner must just pay the fines for leaving it there because it is convenient

Went out playing in one for a day with foxy (no editing this BC) when she had one for a demo, loads of kit very comfy growled really nice when putting it in sport mode and thrashing it through the tunnels in leeds, but it was just so big and ugly and numb i think it was the Panamera 4s petrol. we got it down to 8mpg It was great fun but i would never buy one myself.

The one I went in had the full electronic sports suspension and it was as tight as a tick...(for a grand tourer of course) and being th diesel it was averaging 52mpg .. and hand on heart, you'd not know it was an oil burner... the exhaust note and lack of engine clatter was jaw dropping.... very very smooth..

If I had 4 people I needed to get somewhere far away in superb comfort then it really would be a hard act to follow... RRS gone

Cheers for the feed back folks, looks like a visit to the dealers this weekend for a hands on approach.
