First pic is the bed  :)

Decent size at 2.1 meters as well, the BA beds are too short for me. Screen was huge, which was nice, and the noise cancelling headphones are standard item that are stored in the side storage cupboard.

Progress meeting of an existing project.

No idea why it was there, the one last month was in Turkey and the one the month before was in Dubai. They are trying to balance the travelling of all 8 of us.

No, want to test drive a few like the 997 GT3 and 991s to see if:

- I really hate PDK that much as BMWs DCT is horrible
- If the clutch is really that heavy as written

I will have a go at them in the summer, but I have a couple of dealer worries:

- It is far away so any issue at all means a long drive. I learned it the hard way with the Abarth that all warranty issues means half a day lost in driving.
- Porsche Brighton was really offensive when I just enquired before I bought my M. With the BMWs I have bought, the test cars have been delivered to my house and I just have one for the weekend and they collect it again. For a serious purchaser that is not too much to ask. Porsche basically told me to sign on the line first before I would even get a test drive (phone conversation).

I have a good relationship with burgess hill which isn't that far for you really.

They've just sold a friend of mine a 50th anniversary.

Let me know when you are ready and they will look after you.

I corrected that for you.  :))

On the other matter I will have a chat with you nearer the time as Burgess Hill is not too far indeed.
