Re: If a Porsche wasn’t an option.
For me it would be the Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio. I was seriously contemplating that one, though I am still happy I went for my Macan S. But I always liked Alfas…at least the looks and “flair” that comes with the name…not so sure about the quality (…but probably they are ok these days)

Re: The Loaner
On the whole, the Germanic trio of Audi, BMW and Merc seem to have lost their way somehow. Lacking in the desirability, quality and charisma that they used to exude... Completely agree on that - esp with regards to car design, I am not sure what BMW designers are thinking these days - for some of t...

Re: 959
Ha…to add to Bluesnose’s investigative work on that photo, I do like these two karting trophies - there seems to be some real racing spirit going on!

Re: 959
Haha.,.the Burago F40…have one myself! And below the other all-time classic..Audi Quattro, of which the “S 1” was probably the craziest race car ever built. Walter Roehrl was asked about his time driving it during the Group B times :”It was just crazy….but it was soooo good”

Re: Average age of macan driver?
46 here…and the recently delivered S is my first Porsche…super happy with it, and having it now, it’s completely inexplicable to me that I have actually seriously considered an EV car before deciding for the Macan S

Re: 959
I had one of those… on my bedroom wall (teenager cool wall) :) The F40 was the one though….. Agree…nothing will ever match an F40 - square, bold, raw…for me it’s the most beautiful car ever built (…though frankly it’s probably not, because the most beautiful is really a GTO, or a 911), but definite...

Re: 959
Amazing car. Funny enough, it was always meant to be a Rallye car, and only when the most crazy period of rallye racing (being Group B) ended in the mid-80ies, then Porsche made a road-legal version out of it. Even won the Paris-Dakar once or twice…what an exciting car this was, and the racing pedig...

Re: Collected my GEN 3 GTS
When I asked to remove it, they said to leave it on the order and they’d not charge. I’ve my order to finalise and am doing it in person in a couple of weeks, I’ll have it removed then :) But your car still looks amazing and you must be thrilled to have it now. Thanks so much for sharing the name o...

Re: Why Bother?
So my S got its first proper driveout last weekend driving down from London to the coast around Weymouth. On the way back on Sunday the navigation system led me through the windy, narrow roads of Dorset, rather than the motorway…it was an abolute joy driving the car there! While I am still trying to...

Re: Swissvax application
Thanks a lot for all these comments - I took out the Swissvax from the invoice and will get the coating done by a detailer. Soon is pick-up time, so much looking forward!
