Great day at Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone.
Drove the new 718 Boxster S & Cayman GTS. I was shocked how fast they are compared to the 981 Boxster S.
I had alot of fun around the various tracks that they have, especially kick plate and ice hill. Thanks to my instructor Simon for helping me improve my driving skills.

If you are selling your car or just want to change ownership, this guide will explain whats parts to fill out (sections in the red boxes) • New keeper to fill in section 6. • Both Registered & New keeper to sign and date section 8. • New keeper to fill in section 10 (V5C/2) , cut out that section using the cut lines then keep section 10 until you receive your new V5C (Within 4 weeks). • You can notify DVLA of the sale or transfer online at
www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle
Or by post to DVLA Swansea SA99 1BA.
Note: If you do not receive your new V5C, you can fill out an application for a Vehicle Registration Certificate (V62) Then send it to DVLA Swansea SA99 1DD with section 10 (V5C/2). @ United Kingdom

My runner for today.
This is VWs entry level to their line of SUVs and I have to say, its really good! A comfortable, raised seating position, smooth gear change and a solid feel that it reminded me of driving a 2017 Evoque. Spacious interior fornits size and I was really impressed with the digital display that had a full screen navigation. Anyone that Loves VWs and wants a car slightly bigger than a Golf, I recommend you test drive the T-Cross.
VW T-CROSS R-LINE
Turbocharged 1.6 Litre
4 Cylinder Diesel
94 BHP
52.9 mpg
140g/km of C02
Manual gearbox

Anyone that is looking to purschase some new number plates, I would definitely recommend showplatesdirect.com
I have used them many times and the plates are good quality. Easy to design, paid for online with an email purschase confirmation. They arrive the next business day with delivery updates.

How to check your tyre size.
If you're in a situation and need to know the size of your tyres but dont know what they are, this guide should help you.
Below is a breakdown of the raised numbers and letters. *an example of what a Tyre Fitter needs to know:
235: width of tyre.
35: side profile. (Sidewall)
20: Rim Diameter.
Additional info:
ZR: Radial construction.
88: Load rating. (Load capacity)
Y: speed rating. (TIP! - Make sure you get the correct speed rating as having the wrong one could invalidate your car insurance) *All tyre size information is standardized around the world. For this example I have used my own tyres as a guide but your numbers may differ. I hope this helps anyone that needs it.

A follow up from my previous post. If you need to change your tyres, there are many good Tyre Fitters out there but one I can recommend that I have personally used many times is blackcircles.com .
The site is very easy to use and you can choose the supplier closest to you and see how they are rated. Everytime I have purchased my new tyres through the job has always been professional and consistent.
