Re: OFFICIAL: 991 Turbo and Turbo S

GR:And for info I''ve driven in most Europe countries in a wide variety of cars and the UK has traditionally had a much coarser tarmac, which can really change how a car feels. We're talking nuances here but driving a sports car is about the nuances. Should it be a suprise that a car might be most accomplished on the roads where it spent most of its development time?
I ask again: Are you serious? I get the British thing with "our island", "our currency", "our tea", "our queen" and even "our humor" but now "our roads"? Seriously? I am sorry but while every country certainly has nuances in street quality and construction quality, the differences are usually related to nature and not the streets themselves.It is not very likely that there is really a difference in tarmac compared to other EU countries or South Africa or the United States for that matter.
Honda seem to think the UK road surfaces are unique enough that they've built 4 miles of test track in Japan surfaced the same way as British roads :
