Default Chalk and Cheese

Followed one home this afternoon.

Seem to be very evenly matched on the country undulating roads. Porsche lumbers more at roundabouts. Would pull away on an autobahn. Would probably drag away from a standing start. Had fun. Discuss.

A pretty damned fine effort for a large SUV SFAIAC. A pal of mine had a basalt black/black ++spec one for 2 years between 04 and 06 and him and I and our two gals did many trips back and forth to Scotland in it. I did most of the driving and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can see how it would look a bit lumbersome around roundabouts, but you are looking at almost 3 tonnes when 4-up with luggage. Loads of grunt, pretty good handling for the size/weight and well gangsta!! Respeck.
