The Roadster Aluminum
Porsche’s “aluminum” luggage made us smile—German engineering choosing US English feels delightfully rogue. But perfectly fitted cases transformed our 911 Targa trips, turning packing from daily Tetris into an oddly satisfying ritual.
EV trip reports on Taycan Forum
Over the years we’ve shared a series of detailed EV road-trip reports on the Taycan Forum, documenting our long-range
Winter tyres fitted

In defence of the PCM vs Apple CarPlay
After moving to a 911, I expected to use CarPlay full-time, but PCM Navigation proved far better for multi-stop trips. Its clear overview of distance, ETA, stops, and disruptions makes it more useful than CarPlay’s next-stop-only focus, so PCM remains my go-to on longer journeys.
