Just being a bit nosey really.

wink

what age were you when you bought your first Porsche, and where did this fit in with your aspiration or plan if you had one?

I was 36 when I got my 993 last year, I told myself that it would be nice to have one by the time I was 40 as I am a relatively moderate earner compared to some!

Bought my first at 35 but collected when I was 36, b'day fell between.

A 911 was always the car I'd promised myself before hitting the big 40 and even though I'm also only a moderate earner, achieving a dream gives you a great sense of satisfaction.

Happily enjoying my second one now, bought at 41 and hope there's plenty of time left to enjoy a few more smile

No real youngsters polled yet then?

I suppose they are all still in bed, or on the facebooks.

Currently debating whether 30 (December) or 35 would be an appropriate aim, a financially sensible aim would be 50!

Didn't buy it, but had a brand new Boxster S as a company car in 2001 at the tender age of 26

They were still quite rare back then.

Re- aspirations.... I wanted one when I was 9 but could neither reach the pedals or secure the loan!
