Picked this little thing up a couple of weeks ago..
To replace the Exige.
Only done 300 miles in it since I got it so another 300 to go until I can give it some welly.
Not the biggest bhp (320) I've had but it really is a sublimely weighted car.
Only weighs in at 1275kgs (lightest car in the current Porsche line up) thanks to the aluminium doors, bonnet and boot.
The roof is a manual item - a bit like having a really big brolly on top!
No buttons for me to press - if it starts to **** it down on the motorway you get wet!
I've only had the roof on a few times - prefer driving without it. I even picked it up in the rain and drove home with it off.
(It looks a whole lot better without the roof)
Has a PSE (Porsche sport exhaust) which sounds unbelievably good ( and should do for a couple of Łk!).
Anyway, it'll do for a couple of years.

Lovely sound to these though

Sounds like the lambo in the intro to the original Cannonball Run movie

There was a White one doing the Donington trackday we did a couple of weeks ago, it looked and went really well. 
When you taking yours on track then Zp?
Hactually, thinking about it...you might be best getting a chauffeur or your Mrs to drive you about.
