The 'all Things Porsche' Thread...

[andy9eleven]

@Boydie I’ve gone with the daily + 996, that are hopefully both depreciation free. I don’t have huge amounts, of any, spare time either. But the thing I learnt is, you must have the space to keep the toy at your house otherwise it’s just too much hassle going to retrieve it or swap about. But even the enjoyment from just taking the toy to work once a week or nipping out at night once everyone is asleep, and having a blast about on empty roads, that’s fantastic and makes it worthwhile.

 

[Boydie]

Yeah, the space I have is just in the driveway so it would just sit outside all the time. ah well, see what happens in the future.

Thanks!! I did find myself standing one day pondering the monthly payments on the last GT4 that was in Belfast, and then I wised up, slapped myself and left!

Pocket money for you

Would be so worth it, you only live once and all that. Would be the only modern Porsche for me

@svensktoppen One day. Just not entirely sure when that one day will be!

I have a real hankering for an early Amber lense 996.

Was tempted by this when I spotted it for sale last year.

It was for sale for months too!

It was just before I got my cayman. That would have been a good buy. They look great in that colour, I even appreciated the grey interior!

It was a great colour combo, I had never seen one that colour before, or since.

Was washing the cars and there was no mistaking what it was....

Stunning!

Don't know how I feel about this. It's odd, but I think I like it.

Nice colour @gpaevo They’re still a bit brutal looking from the back though.

The 80s front engined cars have been feeling a bit left out these past few pages!!
