And back, I could have easily carried on to Switzerland and just drove around for weeks in this car. The car felt like it was built
from Granite, it devours the AutoBahn at a dizzying rate when called upon, was serious fun around the twisty roads near Zolder
and also returned 28.5MPG. Grin factor off the scale !

They don't build them like this anymore folks so go out and Buy one !

Is that a ferry or a train? How do you get on with loading ramps etc? Planning to road trip mine from Sweden through Europe and over to UK in the next couple of months, and I worry a bit about the lowness of the car and the negotiating of ferry loading ramps.

Train. Book the car in for tall vehicle and they let you onto the truck and Coach section. Saves you from carving your wheels up and also the turning
circle onto the train is 3 times the size than the car carrier. (See ramp)

Oh dear, I'm starting to get that itch again, I keep having this idea more and more recently of switching to a 991 GT3, I don't know what there like to drive but they do look good. It just seems there actually starting to get 458 common when your in London and the prices seem on a cliff as there are so many Forsale but not a lot selling. Can someone talk sense into my head, I made that mistake with my 355 as I really miss that little screamer so not want to repeat.

Help !

Sounds a plan Jason.
Trade in something incredibly rare, appreciating, sought after, with cast iron residuals, for something that's currently on the slide (value wise) and will no doubt shortly be replaced with something newer, faster and even more Audi like.
You're as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University smile

To be fair whats the point of having a car that most mere mortals can not drive at 9/10ths? 458 or 991 GT3 a much better bet certainly for someone like me anyway!

Do you know what, my wife read this and actually agreed with you Lol. The problem is I just love cars
And would love to experience a different type of Porsche. The problem is if I step out of the GT2 I know I will
Never get That car again as it truly has been lavishly looked after. Anyone who has seen it can testify to that.

Your making sense Slippy.

I've never really promoted prices but I so hope the GT2 goes crazy so I can jump into this !

Was there yesterday, couldn't decide on what I thought about the lava colour but no doubt it looks a good car.

Car just gets better over time, the sheer simplicity of the Interior and exterior just does it for me, the cockpit
Is not full of buttons and gimmicks to destract you.

Highly recommend ownership if your after a very pure analog experience.

Big engine, loads of mechanical grip, and feedback that you can feel from your backside.
