Thank you for posting this link Caymanwhite. It's a good read and helps me stay positive until I'm told otherwise. Once I get to visit this Porsche guy for a thorough check I will let you all know his findings.

Just topped up the oil guys. I will keep my eye on this as I've not had it 5 minutes. I used 0W 40 by the way?

 

Thats the factory spec oil grade yes.  Some use 5w-40 also.  Either is fine, make sure it's top quality stuff.

They all do the white smoke thing, even the new ones, but if it's more than at start up, get it checked over.

Great looking car Barry, wait until you give it a first clean on the inside and then try and get the "Porsche Stripes" in the Carpet areas

Thanks Stugre, yes, I've noticed the stripes on the carpets of advertised Porsches!

Congrats Barry! That's a nice looking example for sure!
