Hey folks. I’m largely done with Whitter, but busier than ever on YouTube (and occasionally Instagram), fiddling with the car. @christianpratt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@christianpratt (Also, the dog is well! 🐶😀)

Attended my first Cars & Coffee in the 981 earlier today…then driving down to @BonhamsCars tomorrow. Reckon i’ll crack 1000 miles in 3 days. I have to give props to the previous owner, clearly a meticulous chap. Came with a car cover, inspections, new tyres etc. Just mega 👏🏼

@AutoBant Agree - despite there being plenty of choice, there’s not that much choice!

@PrattStuff Thanks Christian, it’s refreshing in a sea of Grey & Silver cars for sale. Finding an interesting spec Boxster is no mean feat!

Got myself a new car, didn’t I… Jet Black Metallic 2016 981, Carrera S wheels, Chrono, 31k miles, FSH. Couldn’t be more chuffed. It was also MUCH cleaner 30 mins before this photo. Feels so damn good being back in a Porsche. #NewCarDay

@JCDAmos As with the JWT, we are going to have more squeaky bum moments with these ever more capable but complicated satellites. 😳

Squeaky bum time comes in a few days (starting Friday) when the satellite begins to unfurl its 12m by 15m wire-mesh antenna. If it doesn't deploy properly, decades of hard work will be for naught. Antenna manufacturer L3Harris have done this more than 100 times. Fingers crossed.

Popped into @AirbusintheUK Stevenage to watch the @ESA_EO Biomass launch in French Guiana. Airbus UK were prime on the satellite which will "weigh" the Earth's forests using a P-band (70cm wavelength) radar. 🧵

@PrattStuff No. I quite like my Michelins and know what I'm getting. Want to see how these compare to PS4s though. Damian has Contis on his Guillia now and rates them @scampbird

Note from the production team: This series is an observational documentary series, which means just that. Tonight’s show is not only a fitting tribute to Sqn Ldr Long- both as a pilot and person - but it has been produced with full approval and consent of his family. This story showcases how dangerous a profession being a pilot can be. Covering Sqn Ldr Long’s death was extremely difficult & challenging for our film crew at RAF Coningsby who had got to know Mark as part of Mac & Cheese’s training. Whilst we appreciate that it might be difficult viewing for some, telling this story and how it genuinely affected those closest to him isn’t about chasing viewing figures or likes on social media. This is about paying tribute to an exceptional person who tragically lost his life doing what he loved.

On 25th May 2024, @RoyalAirForce Sqn Ldr Mark Long was tragically killed when his @RAFBBMF Spitfire crashed near @RAFConingsby. #TopGunsC4 cameras captured the immediate aftermath as news reached the pilots who knew Mark best, including two of his pupils, ‘Mac and Cheese’ whom he was teaching to fly @eurofighter jets. Please tune in to Top Guns: Inside the RAF tonight at 9pm on @Channel4 @ChiefofAirStaff @DefenceHQ @UKStratCom @SSAFA @pinstripedline @HarvSmyth @DefenceSenseUK @thinkdefence @MilitaryBanter @UKDefJournal @DefenceOps

Spent some time in this 2001 Ford Puma recently: a reminder of simpler, fun times at the Blue Oval. A wholesome exemplar of the joys of a small, lightweight coupe – fizzing 1.6 performance, a feelsome manual gearchange that makes fun of cog-swappery and pert dimensions >> 1 of 2

A neighbour has a 2014 Mini Diesel like this one. Everytime she starts it up it sounds a like a road digger. Amazing how diesel tech has progressed, now sometimes you can’t tell if it’s a petrol or diesel.

The very best thing about buying a car that’s not perfect is making it perfect. This car is going to be my Sistine Chapel and of course, that starts with the mechanicals BUT while that is being done I am obsessing over the really important stuff… the livery. To say the paintwork is poor is to downplay it. It’s dreadful. The logos are all wrong or perishing and the paint is a patchwork of sun damage and crappy repair. I’m battling with myself on what to do but I do know one thing, this is a special car that won its notoriety on the back of massive accomplishment. It’s not a showhorse but it deserves as good as I can give it. You see there are two sides of me, there is my SL R129 side that would like to painstakingly get back it back to factory fresh (better than). But there is the Pink Hammer side of me that wants to fully embrace what the Evo stood for. The options: 1. Repaint it entirely in bright Pajero Evo red 2. Repaint only the bits that need doing in silver, correct the badging and apply the Ralli Art decal under a fresh coat of lacquer 3. Wrap it entirely in the most famous livery I’d love your opinion and I’ll add a vote in the caption. Also, the wheels: 1. Find a set of the magnesium factory wheels 2. Locate 15 x 8 OZ Rally Routes 3. Try something different… steels? Competition wheels? The tyres have to be Michelin because honestly, I’ve never had a car they didn’t improve… so @BFGoodrichTires/@MichelinTyres I’d so appreciate your take on it too.
