.... a very excited person who's got a special reason to be excited.

Just put a deposit down on this little number. Should be picking it up on my way to Scotland on Monday 17th. It's going for an independant specialist inspection before then, so hopefully it will receive the thumbs up.

Went for the tiptronic box as I will be doing a lot of motorway driving, even though I don't think it's right for the car - i hate being stuck in conjestion working the clutch like I'm in a gym.











Can't wait for next week now, I just hope the inspection doesn't throw up any major issues.

Wanna sell me the wheels? 

Nice Motor, Martyn... ...!

...2-Seater's....always a good excuse to leave the kids behind/somewhere else!... ... ...!

Paul... ...!

......aren't you glad now, that you didn't spend the money on that Computer upgrade for FSX?......!

Very nice Martyn!

You'll be in Scouse land before the Old Bill can say "You're nicked".

For speeding of course, nothing else

LOL, I'm expecting a lot of this, don't know why the Porsche seems to incite such comments, not that it bothers me, I wouldn't buy a Porsche if it did. I'm also expecting a lot of 'couldn't afford a 911 then?'

Agreed, but given that I will be doing my usual 550 mile trip in it I have opted (after much thought) to go for the tiptronic, in the hope that the auto will eat up the motorway whilst the tiptronic semi-auto box will allow me some input in the twisties. If I find after a few months that I don't like the tiptronic then I will chop it in for a manual. I also think that driving the BMW auto for a few years has made me lazy.

It is just a bit of light hearted banter that's all. If TSC wants to spend his hard earned cash on (replace any Jeremy Clarkson remark here ((I rather like Cockster myself)) then that is his waste worry pleasure

I wasn't really worrying about the anti-Porsche comments on here, we all give each other a bit of stick, so thats cool with me. I just meant that out & about the Porsche tends to incite comments & gestures from people from all walks of life.

Anyhoo, picked up the Coxster this morning & I'm loving it! Bring on the drive into Scotland tomorrow.

Sadly I won't be heading from Liverpool, I'm making my way from Leeds in the morning. Nevermind, plenty of cracking roads in Scotland.

Aha. Don't worry, I've since fallen in love with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS so I take that comment back!

I just think they could try and make some changes to the looks... Porsche seems to be the only brand of car I know people call 'a Porsche' when they see them, and usually not call them by their specific name... Probably because they all look exactly the same!

Don't the locals like your Porsche?
