Graham0127 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Been a Porsche guy for about 25 years now.....not everyone's cup of tea I know, but have always loved the linear like power delivery. Anyway, a client of mine popped round today......to make me grrrrreen. £102,000 worth of new 991 4s Targa. Love at first sight. The car really took my breath away, even my wife was gob smacked. Needless to say, got local Porsche dealers demonstrator for next week. Maybe time to swap in my bike collection ... As Tom Cruise said 'I feel the need for speed' And before anyone tries to convince me 'a Westie is quicker' don't waste your time. If my Westie hadn't been a 'wide' it would have got sucked up the exhaust....., Anyone been blown away by something special lately ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
