The 911 bore...

The Sunday Times made me laugh today-
Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
By Andrew Frankel- Sunday Times
If there is one breed of car enthusiast worth emigrating to avoid it is the Porsche 911 bore. To a 911 bore there are only two types of car: 911s and everything else. Ask a 911 bore what vehicle you should buy, given that you have seven children, live two miles down a dirt track, hate cars in general and German ones in particular, and he (911 bores are always male) will give you a pitying look reserved for idiots, sigh and say: “A 911, of course.”

Obvious really, once born you somehow get the money together for a 911 then move up the ladder,as with the housing market.Essentially you need a roof over your head and a 911 in the garage.
Mr Frankel lived it for a while though, he even had rear seats in his 993 RS....I like that option if personal circumstances mean an MPV is a neccesity.

the only possible alternative, if you have to be practical, being a 968....

uuuhhhhmmmm....I don't understand....surely the only answer if to move house, seek medical help (esp psychiatric advice and counselling re hating German cars) and then get 2 x 911s to carry the young children (followed by contraception advice from Dr) and teach the older ones to take a bus.... so what's the problem here....

Entirely agree..now where did I put my anorak?????
mr frankel is guilty of a logical absurdity; his starting premise is entirely false and flawed. since a 911 is never, ever, ever boring then a 911 bore is a contradiction in terms.
the words 911 and bore cannot appear together, in the same way that matter and antimatter cannot occupy the same position in space/time without negating each other, catastrophically. the only explanation is that the person or object applying the phrase "911 bore" is themself either flawed, or boring, or both.
