So the stats on those cars would be the one with the Turbo and the less weight and more road bias by having fatter tyres no doubt, got a fair old lead on the FF which was NA, heavierm and designed to work in snow and mud??

It's obvious that the Cayenne should be faster but just the other day I was coming up Loch Fyne in convoy with a X5 desisel , an ML diseisel and in front was a Mk 1 Cayenne Turbo and when the road opened out we all thought we would be heroes ( too much of a coincidence I suppose ) and the two tractors simply fell away but the porker was holding me up , I guess some of the horses escape with age or poor maintenance . 2008 MY Supercharged

Oily pumps have been less of a problem for me the last couple of years. I used to dread going to fill up because of the slimy handles and pipes on the the pump when I first got the FFRR but my experience of late is that it is not a problem. I use Tescos (points and 5p/10p of a litre on occasion) and they seemed to have cleaned up their act with this one. Yes, still a few spillages on the concrete by the pump but my trick is to go to the wrong side (filler on far side to the pump) then you don't have to stand in the diesel puddle. .

Are we forgetting that Diesel & petrol pumps are side by side so even when filing with Petrol I often step in the Diesel pond and get slimy diesel all over my feet!!!

Another option is to switch to an LPG S/C, assuming LPG pumps in the UK are separate from petrol/diesel pumps like in Holland ?? MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

My local station (and quite a lot of ohers) have pumps which are petrol only. I always used to use those Gaz. |
