Alex those cost are outrageous how can you own a 911 and be left will all that spare cash for visits to the pub etc.
I cant beat it, but my Porsche tech does come to my house or work to do everything service wise but for that privilege he does charge me £50ph and is not vat registered. :grin: So even us soft southerners are learning a thing or two about saving money from you canny northerners. :thumb: :thumb:
