Guy driving the porsche couldnt be bothered as the RR driver sped of thinking "Yeh that put him in his place"......... Only to brake down in the next 100 miles or so probably. cos they are poo

If i win the pools........me getting a Cayenne.

There is a guy around the corner from me who works for Porsche. He brought one home for the weekend. 'Kin massive! It's growing on me slowly.
I think the S looks better than the Turbo though

I've driven an S and sat in a Turbo out in the States (a pal is a Porsche/BMW/Mini dealer out there). In the right colour / wheels (ie stupidly big!) combo they look the business. Also looked at the Nissan Murano / Infiniti offroader out there. Very nice, ought to bring it out here! Finally, had a look at the 350Z too at deal (in Track spec with gold brembos..lovely). Trying to talk my Mum (who lives out there) into one.

Chrisp, most people who would buy one would probably have a 996T or used to before their kids got too big.

I was overtaken by one coming out of a 80kmph roadworks zone a couple of weeks back, very very quick acceleration for its size. I'm sure the looks grow on you but its no oil painting from the front. Especially when its bearing down on you in the outside lane

Ive seen a couple now. Nowhere near as bad in the flesh.
Still think the Toerag is less unpleasant. (Skightly biased though)
