Best EV Car – New Electric Car Reviews

My First Drive Event with the Porsche Spyder was going well until…

I joined a Beauty salon Privé Drive Trip hosted by 5 Zeros Supercars. Lovely roadways, a charming lunch and an evening remain in the 5 Star Lucknam Park Hotel. What might possible go wrong?!

    I did tell you about your Spyder roof. 😅. Not a good idea when touring. Great video, BTW ❤

    I’ve had a couple of Morgans over the years and am so familiar with going slowly in the rain with the hood down and thinking ‘I need to stop!’. But you’ve got it down to a few seconds by the looks of it…. good work. 🙂

    When I look at the video, I’m happy to have decided on the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. I would just have the roof closed.

      I love my GTS manual but still find myself lusting for the Spyder, knowing fully that the roof would be a nuisance.

    A 4.0 GTS Boxster would have been a far wiser choice, and a more attractive one.

      The only two upsides would be purchase price and roof. Spyder wins on looks, residuals, suspension and performance 👌

    Don’t lose touch with the people who’ve watched your channel from day one 👍🏻 stay relevant to the masses & not just the few, just my opinion but feel too many YouTubers are happy to have subscribers elevate them but then become alien we others content to the original followers, not just you but sadly the majority of YouTubers seem to be in it for the same end!!

      I have to agree this is one of the vid’s I have watched all the way through (I live in Somerset) the problem for me is the Flex culture that you tube creators chase “living the dream” but not my dream, I would prefer to see something I can relate to.

      I agree my Spyder is aspirational. I have a wide base of followers. Some from the performance and Supercar community, some from Mini and everything in between. My video before this was a £30k Dacia Bigster. I’m keeping it relevant 🤷‍♂️

      My BMW SUV has panoramic sun roof, its fantastic, but the size of most sports cars dont lend themselves to that type of roof.

    Thanks for taking us along this tour Pete. Glad to sun came out when you were making your way through the gorge. What a beautiful part of the world to go top down in a very special car. Where that is concerned, guess the compensations make up for those moments of endurance.

    Safe driving my friend. See you again soon.

    The Dulcote Las Vegas twinning is due to the number of discretely located casinos in the village. I’m told some of the cottages are in fact fronts for thriving gambling establishments and surprisingly, a few Nevada residents have holiday homes there. Durston Road is affectionately known as ‘The Strip’.

    Hello Pete, all you need is a brolly on the passenger seat for the traffic light stops. Nice trip, love the Cheddar gorge section with the posh camera, I remember going to the gorge on a school trip- all I had was an egg and cress sandwich and a bottle of pop- nice to see your refreshments were slightly more up market. Car looks great, cheers Peter.
