hi all, newbie from the orkney isles here. currently no porsche at the moment (nothing much to choose from here!) but am very keen to get my hands on a fourteen in the near future. hoping to learn about any possible pitfalls first and here first hand experiences from other owners.
cheers,
dave

Now you are what's called a new member from "Up North". Welcome to DDK and I think you are our most northern UK member

Welcome Dave
What are the roads like on Orkney?

Salt can be a bit of a problem up here but plenty of washing, a good wax and a dry garage seem to keep it @ bay.

Hi, the roads are pretty much as good as mainland UK but without the speed cameras and traffic lights! Only got Zebra crossings and roundabouts in the last couple of years - still confuses some of the older residents!
