Well I bought this car last week, it really has not disappointed at all!!
I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time, didn't even test drive it...no need?
I love the colour but guess it's like marmite you either love it or hate it.

Aren't you worried about it's early life?

I wouldn't. Seriously I wouldn't. It'll be a cracker I'll bet.

I've also seen press workshops, they're excellent.

Also, the proper journos do drive the cars hard, but have a sensitivity with regards to warming up and suchlike. Cars are well treated bar the crazy time for photos/ videos or straight tests. OK, so there are idiots, but nobody sets out to break a car.

Honestly, I would.

On fifth gear don't they switch the car on and rag the tits off it?

It's TV! Edits and suchlike, I'd doubt it.

Which parts would wear prematurely when revved hard from cold?
Powertrain is all splash fed ball bearings, in ep90 or silicone grease.
Doesn't engine oil lubricate better cold?
Only the pistons/cylinders would really mind wouldn't they?

There is one sitting in the Glasgow Porsche garage in Renfrew Scotland!!

[Deep sea]

No not worried about the cars history, it still has 2 years warranty on it if anything did go wrong. It is in mint condition, very green and very fast, great fun.
It does have air conditioning and the ipod dock is connected to the PCM not a FM transmitter.
I will be going to a track day in the new year to really give it a good blast, will probably do more damage to the car myself than the journo's did!

Clearly a question mark over the pictures, however your new toy has a sister.......... and it is an R.
Should breeding take place, please put me down for a first born for "services to pedigree" rendered.

Nice car, but the colour is awful. Save that sort of thing for people GT model buyers with a lack of taste.

i like it a lot

but 72 grand!!! and people think audi's are stupidly overpriced

[BlackandWhite]

Sub 50 (just) Dave. Does that constitute a bargain?

[madmover]

sorry but when you get over 25k used for me its a 911 no question....

Love it in that colour, reminds me of the old school 911's.....

Far more interesting than the done to death white with blue/red graphics.

I like this colour. It isn't the same colour as the car in question
