Nicest Porsche ever made, what a icon 2M$ & they still want to help with service recalls since its so timeless & classic GT👌🏻👍🏻🏁

[@yellow1one]

Porsche weren’t so caring when it comes to bore score on 996s and 997.1s

[@spadgm]

Such a special car, cant wait to see it back out on the road with the V10 singing it's tune!

[@edesp]

JLR probably would spoil owners of a hypothetical Jag hypercar if it went wrong, and Porsche wouldn't be flying every Macan owner to Barca if they had to do a Macan recall. The fact it's a very exclusive flagship supercar is surely the reason for special treatment?

[@robboy18]

Also the whole Paul Walker thing obviously has them a bit on edge making sure everything is up to par with the car.

[@motorstockholm]

Hypothetical like XJ220?

[@jeibizz00]

I still can´t believe you own this piece of art. Absolutely amazing. Probably your greatest investment.

Hi Tom, great content mate really enjoyed that. Thank you. Nice to see the old Girl back on the channel.😊😊😊

[@Paul_F_C]

That car is such a beauty and I love my 996 has the same remote key , steering wheel and aluminium dash dials and on the watch front it looks like you had a Richard Millie on which is also a beauty

[@Vangent87]

Its the actual shocks that they’re replacing, due to unique position of the shocks and suspension setup, it puts a lot of pressure and torque on the top hat of the shock (red piece at the front) and it strips the threads off the top of the shock which causes the top hat and shock to separate and one side of the car to collapse and if you’re moving when it happens, it could cause severe damage to your car. If it collapses onto a tire that’s moving it could destroy the carbon wheel well, crack a carbon quarter panel or cause you to wreck and total the car. It happened to DDE and luckily it didn’t damage the car.

[@dmac7403]

Sounds like a engineering flaw the way you explained it and makes me wonder why they never corrected the problem.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Love that spec on your CGT…. I bought the slightly ratty 996 c4 auto from historics ascot. What wasn’t advertised was that the engine had £11k of engine rebuild 7k miles ago! It goes like stink!

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Still looking amazing 😊 be good to see it back out for a drive 😊

[@simonhutton1]

Glad the tunes are back. Banger 👍

[@michaelr4573]

I previously had a similar door. If you check instructions, you may find that the door itself has a sensor receiver with a couple of small li-ion batteries (in addition to your key fob batteries), even though that is unexpected as the door is wired into the mains. Suggest you replace those every three years or so. Takes five minutes and a couple of quid. Luckily, I had a back up personnel door access with mine, otherwise I would have been locked out like you.

[@Vangent87]

very much an engineering flaw but most CGTs haven’t done enough mileage for it to be a huge problem. They are correcting it now tho

[@gregchapman5556]

Porsche are being real gents 👏👏.

[@jacksmale7036]

4800 a month. Bargain. That thing is going to the moon. It’s just an outrageous car - never sell it.

great update Tom!

[@TGE]

Appreciate it

[@cephasmakuzva]

Thats my ultimate car the carrera gt so I love any video involving that car. You own this beauty and you won investment wise especially from when you got yours. Porsche is mega though for treating carrera gt owners to Barcelona and free service for the car to say sorry for the inconvenience.

[@hairyhands8259]

Just sit in the car and play the Outrun music. 😅

[@crustyclown8845]

Got a feeling it’s increasing in value by more than 60k pa. So all good. On Porsche standing the cost of repair makes me think that given the values and typ mileages they’d expect court cases upon failure. Just my view.

[@alekspen]

Lad where do you get the slick from that you talk? Some of the one liners are bedlam lol

[@TGE]

No idea. My brain is nonsense

You need a sectional Hormann Garage door bud. Those rollers doors are shite and very easy to break in to.

[@HR-ii6ue]

[@Acquiesce77]

We have a recall on a 12 year old 120000 mile Evoque. Potential new steering rack FoC. Not 20 year old but a run of the mill JLR Evoque with loads of miles a 3 owners deep still fixing issues! 4.5k a month for a Carrera GT! Thought it would be more than that!

Legal obligation. Just look at Takata scandal, replacing airbags on cars much older.

They may not technically or legally owe current owners anything, but the carrera gut is such a low mileage vehicle, I’d be amazed£ if there is one with 5,000 miles. In fact I wander how many have done more than 2,000 miles on the clock.

Good point. Does seem a bit weird - car is fine so 🤷‍♂️

[@wonderwatch2239]

Front left wheel is pointing left

[@dmac7403]

Honestly the way the shocks and auch are set up is a engineering flaw ,wonder why they never figured out another way ,wow it looks cool but you'll need to replace things because of the weird angle the pressure and torque rip the threads off and could cause you to total the car ,or it to collapse and destroy to cabron fiber quarter panel or even the wheel,all and you pay to fix .

[@razh260]

Watch Marc McCan's car finance scam video...

[@Vangent87]

You can refinance anything but honestly it’s usually only worth the hassle on expensive investments like your home, supercars, hypercars. If you’ve got a Ford Mondeo you’ve been paying on for 4 years and refinance and now you’re paying on a 4 year old Mondeo for another 3 years instead of paying out the last year, you’re a moron. Just because you can refinance doesn’t always mean it makes sense, just do your research.
