Love that colour, although I do love the look of a Black Porsche!
It’s well known that Guards Red is the fastest colour.
Very nice. I like the color. Prob a stupid question but has the car appreciated in value or did you get a really good deal below the market rate? Or a bit of both?

Just to add some tedium to the thread - a lot of sports cars that have their engine in front of the driver will have it far enough back that it's behind the front axle, so are mid-engined.

Sorry, but watching an Ipad whilst sounding like an angry mosquito on heat really doesn't do it for me
That looks lovely
Would that be the dust that’s left in the smouldering remains of your Tesla after the battery catches fire?
Mid-engine usually means the engine is in front of the rear axle, but behind the driver (or under them). An engine in front of the drive is usually termed front-engined. If it's behind the front axle, you might call it front-mid.Just to add some tedium to the thread - a lot of sports cars that have their engine in front of the driver will have it far enough back that it's behind the front axle, so are mid-engined.

If that's been copied from the Wikipedia article, somebody should probably go back and correct the spelling of axle.
It isn't (no idea what wiki says), it's copied directly from my car knowledge database, complete with poor spelling

I've booked work with independent Porsche garage, Precision Porsche, who have just moved to new premises in Ringmer. I thought I'd mention here, as their new location may be handy for any other owners in the Brighton/Lewes area
