We don’t just write about and work on Porsches — we drive and live with them, too!

DAN FURR 1986 944 TURBO

Preparing for a return to the road and to fix the source of a troublesome cooling complaint. A duff thermostat is the likely culprit. Either that or an air lock. Or sludge in the rad. A process of elimination, then!

DAN FURR 2006 997 CARRERA 4S

A new battery and renewal of the alternator/ignition/starter wiring should have eliminated the hot start issues this generation of 911 is known for. Drive time is required to know for sure.

JOHNNY TIPLER 2003 986 BOXSTER S

Who would have thought nipping out for fish and chips would have been so eventful?! Now, time to track down a 718 Cayman for a photo shoot before Mrs T and I enjoy a long-awaited trip to the Orkney islands.

GARY CONWAY 2008 957 CAYENNE TURBO

Why do all modern Porsches seem to suffer water and moisture ingress into supposedly sealed light clusters, be they front or back? Worse, most Cayenne owners don’t even know the problem exists!

CHRIS WALLBANK 2016 981 CAYMAN GTS

Loving my 981 GTS, but also keen to explore the idea of a Porsche droptop for a summer of fun with Lady Wallbank. I’ve been to view a few 986 Boxsters local to where I live, but the hunt is still on.
