AK350Z Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 This was at a local garage and made me go a bit wibbly: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-PORSCHE-911-997-3-8-CARRERA-2-S-/300742109586?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4605a06992 Possibly all the car I'd ever need. *Le sigh* Quote
Ekona Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Nah, they're rubbish. Good spec too, PSE and the very rare full red rear light cluster option. Nice colour combo, too. Quote

Dblock Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) If you sit or work on one the engineering is brilliant and fit and finish is awesome too. Most people don't hate Porsches they hate people who drive them, jealousy, because it's faster than their car and generally it's a sign of success so hated on for no real reason. It's like a counter culture. Edited December 17, 2012 by Dblock Quote

It's like a counter culture. Not in my case. Much rather have my Zed than a porch If someone gave me a Porsche I'd just sell it straight away. Nothing I like about them at all. And yes I have driven one Quote
Wasso Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 The GT is the ONLY Porsche I like. The rest for me are boring, ok except the GT3 RS for the Nurburgring Quote

ddcboyle Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 I just cant tell the difference between porsches. One minute their a 911, then their a 911 without the 911 badge, then its a boxster, then boxster sport. next minute they take everything out your car that is useful and charge 40grand more for a gt3 rs.... i like the badge though Quote
SteveW Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Meh, not a fan of Porsches either. 1) everyone has one. 2) they all look incredibly similar. 3) they just look too 'normal' If I could afford one I'd buy lots of other things before a Porsche. I do think the 911 sounds great though. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 It's an itch that needs scratching at some point. The problem is which itch to scratch 1st 911 GTR 370z BRZ Probably one of the latter two for the show car I want to do at some point Quote
Ekona Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Buy the right GTR and you won't lose much on it, could sell after a year for minimal loss. Hop across into the 911 and do pretty much the same, then grab a 370Z for a bit by which point the BRZ should be at a much more reasonable price point. Job's a carrot :smile: Quote
glrnet Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 25k? I'd rather eat a whale bollock Probably a delicacy somewhere Quote
bronzee Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Interior is a lovely colour to look at. Pale interiors aren't easy to keep looking sharp and clean. Quote
Spoony Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I like these, but as other members say they do look a bit normal. I like the models with the aero kit and the big wheels! Quote
wizard Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Driven a few of them. I think porsche is pretty much the perfect sports car in terms of practicality, but they're just such a common sight in london that you often feel that you wouldn't be a petrol head if you were driving one of them. If I was in the market for one, it could only be the GT2, GT3 or Turbo. The rest of them my zed would wipe the floor with. Edited December 29, 2012 by wizard Quote
